$35 MILLION DOLLAR MEDIEVAL ITALIAN CASTLE

November 3, 2014
  • Share
Sitting area in Castello di Modanella

Monday musings…life in a castle…

Castle Modanella (or Castello di Modanella) was built in the 12th century and has been added to ever since.  The property spans over 1,500 acres and between all of the farmhouses, apartments and the castle itself…the interior square footage is around 107,000 square feet.  This castle in the heart of Tuscany just outside of Sienna also is replete with vineyards and produces wines.  Currently the spaces are rented out for weddings and for guest travelers. While some of the interior spaces were re-imagined in the 18th century and moving forward, the castle apparently has stayed true to its medieval origin.

Would make for a nice family home right…?  Just a little old castle in Tuscany.  Hmmm…thinking.   Just need $35 million dollars and a VERY large family and I am good to go!

This home is listed by Sotheby’s International Realty.  Click here for even more photos!

I guess before it is sold…you could go visit there and take a little vacation.  I found the Castello di Modenalla website and the Modenella Facebook page (see some of the events and weddings that have been held there).

Might have to convince TE to take me to this castle so I can survey the grounds to figure out whether castle life is for me!!

Happy Monday!

P.S.  Malibu Morning – Every weekend, my guy TE and I go out to Malibu…to look around and check on things so to speak.  This weekend, since TE is away (now in Taipei for business), I went by myself…to look around…early early Saturday morning after it rained here Los Angeles.  I took Mr. Boo (my dog) to this favorite spot in Malibu and took a few photos there.  Here’s a snap of Mr. Boo enjoying the view of Point Dume. It was so pretty looking out over the Pacific Ocean…so clear after the rain.  Check out COCOCOZY Instagram for more from my weekend.  Make sure to follow me on Instagram @cococozy

The best seats in the house are often tucked into The best seats in the house are often tucked into a corner.
A well designed breakfast nook brings together layered textures, natural light, and a table that turns coffee into a ritual instead of a routine. ☕️🥞
Which detail would you start with first, the seating or the lighting?

Some homes just feel special the moment you walk iSome homes just feel special the moment you walk in.
From the limestone fireplace in the living room to the informal dining space, a peek into the scullery, and finally the kitchen where the island becomes the heart of it all, every space flows effortlessly into the next.
Thoughtful design. Beautiful light. A layout that truly works. ❤️
This is what a dream home looks like when vision and craftsmanship come together.

Part 2 - Marathon. So as the saying goes, “if at Part 2 - Marathon. So as the saying goes, “if at first you don’t succeed, try try again.” I will run a marathon. I will hit the road again, train again and I will run. Watch me. Last Sunday, however, wasn’t my marathon day...
I made the best of it nonetheless. If I couldn’t run, I was certainly going to be part of LA spirit and cheer the runners on.
As many may know, I was supposed to be running the Los Angeles Marathon last weekend. After 14 weeks of training and finishing my 19 mile run, I strained a muscle. I went to physical therapy every other day hoping I could still run, but the pain was still there the day before the marathon so I had to call it.
But an injury didn’t stop me from being there. I showed up to Rodeo Drive anyway.
I watched the elite runners fly by, tracked friends, and ended up cheering for three hours. Fast runners, struggling runners, and the later runners still grinding it out.
A friend texted saying she knew the day must have been hard for me. But honestly, it wasn’t. It was just fun, inspiring, and electric.
I will be on the road soon...running a race! Can’t wait!
Design starts underfoot. From checkerboard marble Design starts underfoot. From checkerboard marble to warm brick and classic parquet, these floors do more than ground a space. They bring texture, history, and character into the room. 🏁😍
