Casale Sangiovese
About This Villa
Deep in the Tuscan countryside of the Val di Chiana area is traditional farmhouse, Casale Sangiovese. Boasting six bedrooms across the main house and an adjacent annexe, it's the perfect base for a larger family or two groups holidaying together.
Set in lush gardens and surrounded by picture-postcard land of green fields, olive groves and hills, this villa offers stunning peace and privacy. And yet the nearest amenities are just under a 10-minute drive away in the pretty hilltop village of Castiglion Fiorentino,
There's so much character throughout Casale Sangiovese. A series of tastefully furnished rooms feature wood-beam ceilings, tile floors and stone wall features. Especially gorgeous is the open-concept living/dining room, with curved stone archways allowing gatherings to flow from sofa to dining table.
An ancient stone fireplace is the focal point of the space, providing welcoming warmth on cooler evenings. Pieces of fine furniture and an array of antiques keep things feeling authentic and add even more grandeur to meals enjoyed by chandelier light.
Upstairs, there's a second living room for cosier occasions. It's joined by three of the four bedrooms found in the main villa. The fourth bedroom is on the ground floor and boasts an ensuite bathroom.
The two remaining bedrooms are in the annexe. With one having a double bed and the other twin beds, it's ideal for a second family group. The annexe also has a terrace for enjoying quieter gatherings.
Everyone will look forward to getting together in the glorious gardens. A large swimming pool with Jacuzzi area offers refreshing dips, with plenty of sun loungers to relax on with cocktails. There's a barbecue for sitting down to perfectly grilled meals under the romantic gazebo. And the summer vegetable garden is sure to inspire foodies.
Scenic walks are on the doorstep at Casale Sangiovese, with the towns of Cortona and hilltop Lucignano easy to reach. Arezzo and Siena are great for longer days out and both boast a wealth of history and culture.
