This Tuscan estate offers magical view across rolling vineyards
and country site to the mountains beyond; it is a perfect place
for your Tuscan vacation.
Originally part of a property donated in 1711 by the Count of da
Verrazzano to the order of San Francesco di Sales, il Casellino
still produces and bottles its own extravirgin olive oil.
Traditional and natural methods combine to produce an extra virgin
olive oil appreciated world-wide.
Il
Casellino is strategically placed for those who
wish to tour Tuscany: only 20 km from Florence, less than 40 km
from Arezzo; 80 km from Siena, 50 km from Lucca, 70 km from Pisa
and a mere 18 km from Fiesole and the via Chiantigiana.
Il Casellino is an estate of approximately 40 hectares, which aside
from the extensive olive groves also boasts an
orchard, a vegetable garden and a cutting garden to supply guests
with fresh flowers and produce as well as supplying the raw materials
for an excellent selection of preserves made personally by the owners.
The eighteen hectares of woods on the property
are rich with wildlife for nature lovers. Every effort is made to
preserve the natural environment of these woods and therefore are
also full of botanical species of great interest.
Great care has been taken in the restoration of the original buildings
to provide for beautiful homes. Antique furniture
and modern amenities made these homes welcoming and comfortable.
All homes are equipped with outdoor eating facilities to enjoy to
the fullest lovely summer evenings. Set in an olive grove, the beautifully
landscaped swimming pool (21 x 9 meters) is surrounded
by an attractive stone terrace and has stunning views over the surrounding
countryside.
The heart of Chianti region makes il Casellino the perfect starting
point for a perfect Tuscan vacation.
