Fir Apartment: Historic Ground Floor Apartment near Florence, Tuscany

Discover Fir, a delightful 1 bedroom apartment nestled within an extraordinary ancient estate whose origins trace back to 970 AD. This historic property holds remarkable significance, as it was here in 1308 that officials from Florence, Pisa and Volterra gathered to define the official borders between Volterra and San Gimignano. Over the centuries, the estate endured periods of ransacking and reconstruction under various owners before being acquired by the distinguished Marquis Capponi. The Grand Duke of Tuscany himself frequently chose this magnificent property as his residence during his travels throughout Tuscany.
