Il Casellino-F04

The Tuscan estate of Il Casellino offers magical views of the serene countryside, with olive trees and Chianti vines tumbling down to verdant pastures sprinkled with red poppies and yellow mustard. Il Casellino still produces and bottles its own olive oil using the methods handed down from father to son. It is hard to believe that the bustle of Florence is less than half an hour away.  La Colonica the largest of our offerings on this estate was the featured property in an article on Tuscan villa rentals in the November 1998 issue of Conde Nast Traveler

Ancient Tuscan stone walls of the original estate buildings serve as the foundation for three beautiful centrally heated homes and apartments. Great care has been taken to retain the original features and the antique furniture has been carefully chosen. The estate includes a beautifully landscaped swimming pool, set in an olive grove with stunning views over the surrounding countryside and stone terraces and patios for outdoor eating or sunbathing.

La Colonica is the owners' private villa. This magnificently restored home will comfortably sleep 6 in luxurious surroundings, with 3 full bedrooms (1 double and 2 with twin beds) and 2 fully-appointed tiled bathrooms.  The ground level includes 2 large, handsomely furnished living rooms, one with a huge fireplace with overstuffed comfortable chairs and sofas. The designer country kitchen will prove an inspiration to any culinary-inclined customers. A stay here is certain to be an experience of a lifetime!

Il Fienile is a gracious two story home, offering panoramic views of the surrounding countryside from its interior. The large open-plan family room is comfortably furnished and has a magnificent fireplace and picture window with stunning views. An archway leads to the kitchen that includes a dishwasher. A formal living room with antique furnishings, tiled bathroom with shower and a utility room with washing machine, complete this floor. Upstairs, there is a master bedroom, with magnificent views, a twin bedded room and a fully tiled bathroom.

La Conigliera is a delightful romantic studio apartment in a separate building that shares a courtyard with Il Fienile Its simple, stone exterior belies the elegance and quality of the interior with its cathedral ceiling, large fireplace, and antique furnishings. La Conigliera is spacious for a studio, and features a small, but well-equipped kitchen, a superior bathroom with American-quality showers, a dishwasher and a washing machine.

The properties can also, of course, be rented together accommodating up to 12 in the 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.  The estate offers plenty of private areas for a group or larger family.  The park-like grounds present splendid opportunities to experience la dolce far niente (the sweetness of doing nothing).  However, the more actively inclined can work out in the pool, hike the grounds of the estate or walk to the two nearby villages for an afternoon or evening caffe.
