Description

Being surrounded by oak-trees and olive-trees, you can appreciate the Tuscan country side.

The country house built in the 18th century has recovered its beautiful antique splendour thanks to the accurate restoration of the owners, who found the perfect balance between the old and the new, rendering your stay as pleasant as possible. Casale villa is an unique and maybe even magical, where you can enjoy an unforgettable and certainly splendid and relaxing holiday.
