The buildings of the estate are the result of a masterful recovery and renovation, carried out by a well-known local architect. Buildings are all in typical Tuscan style with exposed stone walls, terracotta floors, wooden beams and masonry inserts. The cellar, on the other hand, is a modern building, built so that the process of winemaking could be carried out in the most efficient way, thanks to modern and high-quality equipment.

Not far from the building one can find a 14 × 6 m salt-water swimming pool with pool-house (sau- na, whirlwind and dressing room) and an ample paved solarium terrace.
