THE ESTATE AND ITS HISTORY
Casa Cornacchi is an historic residence situated in the picturesque Val D'Ambra, in the Tuscan countryside near Siena. Its history begins with the Court of the Captains of the Guelf Party, and its original construction dates back to the late 1500s when it served as a lookout tower to protect the nearby Montebenichi Castle. In 1529, it became the property of the Guelf Captain Giorgio Cornacchia and was subsequently transformed into a farmhouse.
In 2009, a meticulous restoration of the entire building was completed by the Massini brothers, with the aim of preserving the traditional features of Tuscan rural architecture. The villas have been carefully restored, and the surrounding environment has been revitalized, including the planting of approximately 1000 olive trees. Today, Casa Cornacchi is a luxurious country residence that offers an authentic and refined experience.
The Estate is located in a breathtaking landscape and boasts a rich culinary tradition. Our restaurant offers daily typical and genuine dishes, providing an excellent culinary experience. Authenticity, cultural heritage, classical architecture, and ancient history are just some of the elements that make Casa Cornacchi the perfect destination for many private events.
