The Villas & Penthouse

Casale Santa Lucia

Besides the farmhouses, the villas and the penthouse are a never-ending journey of discovery. Each is unmistakably unique, and a joyous expression of art and architecture. The villas and penthouse enjoy the benefits of a very high location, with amazing expansive views of the stunning Tuscan countryside.

Resplendent Interiors Await

To step inside the farmhouses, villas and the penthouse is to discover interiors of richly textured fabrics and hand-stenciled antiquities, all burnished by the hues of the changing pastoral seasons. Everywhere are finishes that reward the curious eye and knowing touch. The furnishings are a collection of the finest interior appointments: Rubelli fabrics, hand-painted beds, De Manincor and Restart gas and wood-burning stoves, Bagni

Volpi bedding, and an astonishing collection of baths with Philippe Starck fixtures, Carrara marble sinks, and Bisazza, Sicis and Ravenna mosaic tiles.

Awash in Luxury

The baths are a remarkable and contemporary counterpoint to the historic stone design of the exteriors. Dramatic. Unexpected. Sumptuous. They are themselves bathed in the marble made famous by Michelangelo. At every turn are surprising and thoughtful details, modern fixtures gloriously accented with the introduction of Bisazza glass tile. Each residence reflects the geologic origins of Tuscany’s many quartz, granite and marble veins — as well as stones found by farmers clearing nearby fields. The knowing eye will discover a palette of tiles individually selected by our architects to accent the natural colors that run through the stonework.

The Art of Immersion

Whether it is the light playing off an ancient wall, a painterly sunset, or the silken touch of a chair by the fire, words are often insufficient to describe life on the Casali di Casole estate. Nowhere is this more striking than the collection of pools that grace the farmhouses and the three bedroom villas. Each is an original work of art, a study in the art of immersion created with rainbows of sparkling Bisazza mosaic glass tile. Soaring off into the countryside, the pools invite lazy days sunning, napping and nibbling at pizza from the forno.

Pristine Nature and Preservation

Casali di Casole is immersed in Belmond Castello di Casole’s 110 acres between vineyards and olive groves and within an awardwinning Model Game Reserve abundant with hare, pheasant, deer, fox, wild boar, and other natural wildlife.

Nature is real and pristine, and we strive to respect the balance between the human footprint and the estate’s natural life.
