Facilities within the Property

 
Oliviera, Limonaia and Tinaia, once part of Castello di Grotti estate, now renovated, are the ideal place for holding meetings and parties. All around the castle we have many roads and paths where our guests can enjoy a beutiful walk. The Estate of the Castello di Grotti is partly planted with olive trees. We grow them with great care. We sell our olive-oil in food-specific cartons or glass-bottles.
