In one of the most beautiful parts of the Tuscan countryside, bordering of the Casentino Forest National Park, lies the charming 17th century hamlet of Fattoria Casentino, where a number of farmhouses have been lovingly restored to provide a selection of apartments (sleeping from 2 to 8 people) and free-standing farmhouse rentals (sleeping from 4 to 10 people).

The apartments have been furnished with great attention to detail, in keeping with their surroundings. The hamlet is perched high on a hill, commanding dramatic views of the surrounding area, and there is also a summer house with library. A new function room (accommodates 40 people) for the sole use of the guests has been a great success, with carefree clients passing evenings spent making new friends and exchanging stories on the days activities.

There are large, attractive swimming pools, as well as a playground (basketball, soccer, volleyball, Ping-Pong), a tennis-court, and a children's garden. Guest accommodation at Fattoria Casentino comprises 8 individual apartments and 5 detached villas. All the apartments and villas have comfortably furnished living-rooms with traditional fireplaces, as well as central heating, fully equipped kitchens with 4-ring hobs and refrigerator, ovens and dishwasher in some apartments, and tiled bathrooms with shower.
