Le Casette was built in the 16th century - recently refurbished it now consists of 2 high quality stone built houses (called Casa del Gallo and Capanno, both sleeping 4+1) located in a unique Tuscan position: isolated and surrounded by oaks and olives, the grounds offer a stupendous view over the hills and valleys of Chianti Classico.

The property enjoys a unique location, private and immersed in nature but very close to towns and the attractions of Florence and Siena - all making for an elegant environment for a relaxing vacation in Tuscany. The sundeck, swimming pool and shaded areas are perfect for resting, and our guests re-gather their forces  in the shade of our centuries-old trees.

Both Tuscan holiday rental houses are built of stone and have been reconstructed respecting the original style. The previous owner, a famous actor, succeeded in reviving their natural charm and sober beauty in the 60’s. The spacious rooms provide a view up to the roof with its old beams. The walls are of natural stone or painted in the traditional manner. All the floors are in hand-made terra-cotta tiles and the interior furnishings combine antiques with Tuscan rural pieces. The houses have independent terraces (with barbecue), various areas for sitting, a swimming pool dressed in mosaics (5 x 8 m), and private parking. Please note that the swimming pool is only open from the middle of May until the middle of October.
