Each stone, timber beam, and terracotta tile is something to behold at this lovingly restored Tuscan farmhouse near Casole d’Elsa. The villa sits on the grounds of the Casali di Casole estate, which has been farmed for thousands of years and was recently transformed into a country retreat. Today, you can hike or cycle past olive groves and vineyards to hilltop castles and tucked-away hamlets.

The latest chapter of the villa’s story features a sun-kissed terrace with plenty of seating and a heated infinity pool commanding views of the vineyards. Enjoy the comfort of the pergola-covered alfresco table, warmed by a traditional wood-burning oven, for dinner.

In times past, the house might have looked very different, but it feels much the same, thanks to well-preserved wood-beamed ceilings and stone walls. Brick archways separate the living area and dining area from a fully equipped kitchen, but the layout feels open in a decidedly modern way. There are 2 more sitting areas where you can bring a book and your glass of wine for a quiet moment.

Casali di Casole has plenty of hiking trails and mountain bikes to borrow, making it easy to explore this corner of Tuscany. Ask about joining a cooking class or even a truffle hunt on the estate, or get help booking a tee time at a nearby golf course.
