Η πρώτη καταγραφή της ύπαρξης του κάστρου αυτού χρονολογείται στον 11ο αιώνα. Διάφορες αριστοκρατικές οικογένειες της Τοσκάνης έμεναν στο κάστρο ανά τους αιώνες, ώσπου η οικογένεια Γκρην (απόγονοι του διάσημου συγγραφέα Γκράχαμ Γκρην) το αγόρασε και το ανακαίνισε, φυτεύοντας αμπελώνες και δημιουργώντας το εκπληκτικό κάστρο-ξενοδοχείο που υπάρχει σήμερα.

Ποια είναι η ιστορία του κτιρίου; The first document to mention the Castello di Potentino is dated 1042. It then belonged to a certain Count Pietrone or Pepone. However, the original foundations are probably Etruscan. Over the centuries the property passed through the hands of many well-known Tuscan families of noble descent - the Tolomei, the Bonsignori, and the the Salimbeni, whom in the company of Contessa Bianchina, received Saint Catherine of Siena as a guest at the castle. At the end of the 16th Century it became a centre for the charitable works of the hospital order of Santa Maria della Scala.
After this period of religious activity, the Medici Duke Ferdinando I conceded the estate to Marchese Giovan Battista Bourbon del Monte, famous commander-in-chief of the infantry of the Venetian Republic. His descendants finally sold the castle to a gentleman from Switzerland, Antonio Hemmeler, in 1906. Recently it was purchased and restored by the Greene family, who have given new life to the ancient traditions of the building.
The Greenes have owned properties in the Tuscan Maremma for over 30 years. Starting with a farmhouse near the coast, they gradually moved inland. Castello di Potentino is their second major project in the Grosseto area.
In 1989 the family purchased their first ruined castle – the Castello di Montepo, Scansano. Restoration was completed, vineyards planted and a winery established. After 10 years it was sold to a well-known wine producer from the Biondi Santi family. The next castle, Potentino, was discovered in an old guide book. Abandoned, dilapidated, overgrown, the potential was still apparent. It was for sale but had to be bought from 22 different people. Negotiations took a year and agreement finally reached with all the owners. In 2000, work commenced.
Σε ποια εποχή και/ή σύμφωνα με ποιο αρχιτεκτονικό στιλ χτίστηκε το κτίριο; Late Medieval early renaissance
Το κτίριο περιβάλλεται και από άλλα ιστορικά κτίρια; No, but we are in a valley without very little modern intervention- it is very much like the land in the Sienese frescos of good and bad government.
Έχουν γίνει εργασίες αναπαλαίωσης; Yes- the castle was restored from near collapse in 2000.
Υπάρχουν στοιχεία ιδιαίτερης ιστορικής σημασίας στο κτίριο; We have beautiful 19th century/early 20th century stencils on the beams and some 17th century paintings by the altar in the chapel by the Nasini Brothers. We also have templar artifacts in the vaulting of the castle and a templar cross above the chapel entrance. Some of the vaulting is fabulous.
Έχουν υπάρξει σημαντικοί επισκέπτες ή προηγούμενοι ιδιοκτήτες που αξίζει να αναφέρετε; Saint Catherine of Siena came to visit with the Contessa Bianchina Salimbeni on their way to Rome to visit the Pope, San Bernardino was local and Saint Francis also passed through the castle. We also believe that Caravaggio hid at Potentino although he didn't leave any canvases behind!
