"At Villa Caselline, a grand 200-year-old stone house on a working farm, visitors can enjoy the land and be pampered at the same time. Just 25 kilometers south of Florence, Villa Caselline is one of the most upscale examples of farm vacation, where travellers can experience traditional olive groves still at work today. The south-facing Villa sits on an isolated four-hectare estate overlooking the magnificent Chianti countryside. The 375-square-meter/4090-square-feet-meter farmhouse is spacious yet cozy and can sleep up to 16 people - perfect for a getaway with friends, or the family reunion. Villa Caselline's meticulous restoration saved its old terra-cotta floors, wood-beamed ceilings and door frames made of classic “pietra serena”, or, literally, serene stone, a type of sandstone found in many rustic ettings in Tuscany. The Villa has seven bedrooms, several with four-poster beds and antique dressers. It has a soothing living room with a giant Tuscan fireplace and a sink-into-the-cushions sofa and armchairs. The ground floor has big double doors with access to the gardens that can be opened to fell the breeze. The dining room seats 16 people for the feasts that are the most dazzling part of any visit to Italy. Beyond the garden is a 12 meter swimming pool. Guests can relax around the pool, enjoying glasses of Chianti, or lounge on two panoramic terraces built off the main house of Villa Caselline. Dinner can be served by the pool or on the terraces. Guests at Villa Caselline have two equally tempting gastronomic choices: cooking their own food in the modern, fully equipped kitchen; or hiring Villa Caselline's cook to prepare dinners for the entire troop. Almost every meal is served with olive oils straight from Villa Caselline's own groves. And much of the food and drink is produced by other Italian farms. The surrounding region offers dozens of wonderful wine-tasting tours at old Tuscan vineyards, reached by narrow roads lined with 50-meter-tal cedars. The renaissance beauty of Florence is just a 30-minute drive, and day trips to other towns such as Siena and Lucca are an easy jaunt.
The best time of the year to enjoy Tuscany and Villa Caselline is summer, so you'll want to book far in advance. That's when the weather is warm and the pool will beckon. High season runs from June through September, but the Villa can be rented year-round. Book Villa Caselline directly with Mr. Lebreton by e-mail. Villa Caselline is three kilometres from the Tuscan town of Montespertoli. Siena is 30 kilometers to the south and Pisa is 50 kilometers to the northwest.”
