Castello Dei Conti Guidi Di Poppi

Castello medievale fondato dalla famiglia dei Conti Guidi, uno dei monumenti più iconici della valle del Casentino.

Reviewed By nanohead - Wyckoff, United States

Italian castles (castellos) seem to have their own style among all the European fortress like buildings. Poppi Castle is archetypal for many in Tuscany. We stopped at a few others on the SR70 drive from Firenze, and they all are stylistically similar. But Poppi Castle/Conti Guidi is surrounded by a medieval village as well, and still has the feel of the time period. It reminded us a bit of Rothenburg ob der Tauber in Germany, with a similar vibe, but much smaller. Also, similar smaller castle towns in the Loire Valley. The striking thing about the castle specifically, is the amazing condition it is in, and the access you have to see most of it. Many of the castles across Europe are in disrepair, even if the stone fortress is still fairly intact. Poppi castle is incredibly well preserved, wood trims, frescoes, ceilings, walls, trim, everything is as it was (for the most part). It has the feel of a lived in castle that was involved in history, rather than a cartoon like castle theme park that many have evolved to. It is well worth the 1:30 hour trip from Florence if you have the patience for the drive. There are also a dozen of more ruins, and semi intact castles along the way that you can take detours to. Highly recommended for castle junkies and history lovers
