The Murlo Estate is one of Italy’s most exclusive private country estates, cared for by the Carabba Tettamanti Radziwill family for generations. This vast and thriving agricultural estate stretches across thousands of hectares of pristine woodland, olive groves, valleys, lakes and streams. A place of rare beauty and authentic aristocratic and rural heritage, Murlo offers refined comfort, tranquillity and an unforgettable sense of elegance.
History
The story of Murlo begins in proto-historic times (-B.C.) when the Murlo Cerchiaia, a mountain-top fortification within the Estate, stood guard over the valleys below. Through the centuries, these lands passed from the Etruscans to the Romans, leaving behind precious traces. The present castle itself rises on the foundations of an ancient Roman villa, a testament to Murlo’s long and uninterrupted past.
Across the ages, the Murlo Estate has remained a place of refuge and wonder—an untouched sanctuary where nature, history and silence have shaped a world suspended in time. Even today, wandering through its woods, olive groves and ancient paths, one can sense the echo of the civilizations that lived here, and the timeless spirit that still defines Murlo.
Family
For generations, the Carabba Tettamanti family has been the devoted custodians of Murlo, living in harmony with its powerful nature and ancient traditions. Their story is woven into the Estate itself—its woods, its fields, its timeless calm.
Today, the same love guides the new generations, who look to the future while honoring the past, keeping Murlo alive as a place where heritage and renewal walk hand in hand.
The Nature
The Murlo Estate is a world of ancient beauty, a vast natural sanctuary where the seasons unfold with vibrant, ever-changing splendour. Here, lakes and streams carve their way through quiet valleys, creating crystal-clear pools and gentle reflections; forests of centuries-old oaks rise like cathedrals, guarding secrets whispered by the wind.
In this boundless landscape, silence becomes a companion, alive, restorative, profound. Every path, every hillside, every shifting horizon carries the rhythm of a nature that has remained powerful and untouched for generations.
Whether shimmering under the summer light, awakening in the soft bloom of spring, wrapped in the golden hush of autumn or resting beneath the clear, crisp air of winter, Murlo’s wilderness is a place to breathe deeply and feel time slow. A rare harmony of fields, forest and sky, where beauty is not only seen, but felt.
