Il Castello di San Ruffino is a 17th-century castle and farmhouse near Lari, with more than 500 years of history in a typically Tuscan setting. The property combines the castle building with a historic farmhouse within the same estate, offering 22 spacious, light-filled rooms and suites with views of the old manor house and the park.
The rooms are spacious and carefully decorated, some with distinctive features such as frescoed ceilings, jacuzzis, or independent sitting areas. The estate has an outdoor pool and garden.
It's worth noting that this property is distinct from "Casa San Ruffino," an unrelated and smaller property in the Marche region that shares a similar name — this page refers specifically to the castle and resort in Lari, Pisa province, confirmed by its Booking.com listing ("San Ruffino Resort").
The estate's split between the castle building and the historic farmhouse reflects the common pattern of Tuscan agricultural estates that grew around a central fortified or noble residence, with working farm buildings added over subsequent centuries.
The surrounding Lari area and the nearby thermal spa town of Casciana Terme give guests staying at San Ruffino access to both a quiet Tuscan countryside setting and a historic wellness destination, with Pisa itself under an hour away.
