This is Tuscany

Past. Present. Perfect.

As the sun rises above the hilltops, wisps of morning fog give way to fields of sunflowers, grapes and wheat. Tuscany is again bathed in Michelangelo’s morning light. If there is a single word more alluring than Italy then it must be its own heart and soul … Tuscany. Always so much more than a place, Tuscany is first a way of life, each present moment infused with centuries of the world’s favorite art, culture, food and wine.

The Casali Farmhouses

Casali di Casole offers luxurious ‘casali’ farmhouses, villas, and penthouse accommodations, in the heart of Tuscany. Authentic details such as wood-beamed ceilings, stone walls, and handplastered finishes bring an alluring blend of old and new.

Commanding the most favored sites throughout the 4,200 acres that are Casali di Casole are the ruins of modest farmhouses where one can trace the centuries across the stones of walled courtyards and handset loggia. Respectful of their heritage, the farmhouses have been painstakingly restored and reconstructed by architects and artisans who gently coax them into the modern age. Everywhere is confirmation of this labor of love — reclaimed timbers and terra cotta, brick and stone — every inch, every detail wrought by hand. From the moment you arrive, you become a part of Italian history. These are exceptionally private compounds made up of a main residence, and in some cases with inviting guest quarters and, never to be overlooked, dazzling mosaic tile pools and private wood-burning ovens.
