Farmhouse in Chianti Tuscany "La Casaccia"

Set on a low hill in the heart of the Tuscan countryside and surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, "La Casaccia" is a small medieval farm settlement recently restored to preserve its 18th century Florentine architecture and converted into 12 apartments to welcome those who wish to spend a relaxing holiday in Tuscany getting in touch with nature. The accommodation is only a kilometre from Montaione (which can be reached on foot if necessary), a small village in the province of Florence rich in history, its ancient origins confirmed by the many Etruscan and Roman finds discovered locally; its hilltop position (350 metres a.s.l.) means that the farm enjoys a lovely climate and a beautiful view of the surrounding countryside.

The central position of our farmhouse in Tuscany, with roads winding through gentle hills covered in vineyards and olive groves, means that art lovers and culture vultures can easily reach Tuscany’s great art centres with Florence, Siena, Lucca and Pisa only 50 km away. San Gimignano is a 15-minute drive away and Volterra can be reached in half an hour.

Farmhouse in Tuscany "La Casaccia" is the perfect place for a holiday in Tuscany all year round because each season has a wealth of things to offer. A spring holiday with its bright colours, lovely flowers and fragrances allows you to experience nature waking up again, a summer holiday with the hot sun embracing your limbs fills you with energy, an autumn holiday will make you marvel at the rich colours, the delicious smell of must turning into Chianti and the winter will allow you to experience the pleasure of living in a cosy apartment with wooden beams and terracotta tiling.

The welcoming functional apartments are furnished in classic Tuscan style and have well-equipped kitchens that will allow you to prepare even the most elaborate dishes of the Tuscan cuisine if you wish.

There is a beautiful big swimming pool (25x5 m.) where you can do lengths or have a refreshing dip. If you have children they’ll enjoy playing in the smaller pool (10 x 5m) which has a separate section for toddlers so you can enjoy your holiday in peace. If you prefer keeping cool to sunbathing you're in the right place because our accommodation in Tuscany is surrounded by big shady trees. Guests can use the barbecues or enjoy al fresco meals while admiring the wonderful sunsets over the Tuscan hills or the spectacular view of the Chianti hills.

If you want an active holiday you can go trekking on the many trails in the surrounding countryside or take place in group treks organised once or twice a week. Golf lovers can also practice their favourite sport because La Casaccia has an arrangement with the local Castelfalfi golf club (8 km away from the accommodation) with discounts and reductions for the farm’s guests.

There is a riding school only a kilometre away and there are also horse trekking sessions (half or whole day with al fresco lunch) allowing you to enjoy the pleasures that the Tuscan countryside has to offer. Those wishing to play tennis have only to go to Montaione where there is a lovely tennis court that is covered during the autumn/winter season making it suitable for use all year round. Guests are welcome to use the ping-pong table in the farm garden.

The old cellar has been converted into a lovely room where guests can taste typical Tuscan wines and local products.
