Since 1982

Mandorlo is the latest apartment to be converted in this Tuscan farm. It has a kitchen with a beautiful terracotta barrel vault, a double bedroom and ensuite shower room, and a lounge that can become a second bedroom but only if the guests don't mind crossing the main bedroom - it would suit a family, for example. The village of Casole is within walking distance, you will have a shared swimming pool at the bottom of the garden, and the house is well placed to explore central Tuscany, Siena, Chianti, Monterriggioni and more.

Being close to a village is a wonderful experience: you are in your own little parcel of countryside but a brief walk will take you into Casole d'Elsa, which boasts several cafes and restaurants, a couple of grocery stores, and even a couple of tiny art galleries for resident artists. Walk up for breakfast, then buy some fresh produce and wander home for a fresh lunch and spend the afternoon by the pool; it's a real Tuscan delight.

The walk into the village is just over 1km and takes between 15 and 20 minutes. It's uphill on the way in, but there is a lift to help you up the last steepest climb.

Accommodation

Mandorlo is on the ground floor of the main farmhouse, with a door opening onto the covered loggia and a further door opening out towards the last terrace and the swimming pool. You normally enter into the strikingly barrel-vaulted kitchen. Turning right will take you into a small lounge (or extra bedroom) which connects to the double bedroom with an ensuite shower room.

The views over the Chianti hills are stunning and the walk to the pool set amongst olive trees and grapevines is always enticing. A perfect accommodation for a couple or small family seeking authentic Tuscany.

“ Wish I was still there! ”

Mandorlo was part of our dream vacation to Chianti! It’s a picturesque property within walking distance to a quaint town with sweeping views of vineyards and a valley The villa is well maintained and appointed; comfortable and clean. It was perfect for my husband and I. The family who owns and operates the villa adds to the richness of our visit as they are friendly and make you feel at home. I hope to return someday!

“ The perfect summer stay! ”

Mandorlo was simply perfect! The small farm cottage was great for two people, with plenty of room, great amenities. Being situated in the heart of rural Tuscany was a real delight. What made the experience was the fantastic pool which was well maintained and great for the hot summer. We also enjoyed some wine from the farm, which was also super. Staff were very helpful and friendly!

“ Wonderful location for a relaxing break in stunning surroundings ”

Lovely, spacious apartment with lots of outside terrace space to enjoy the fabulous views. Pool is great and the garden areas are very well maintained. Easy walking distance to town centre with a variety of excellent restaurants.

Around Mandorlo

At the front of the farm, a path leads down to the large swimming pool, all within a gentle, evocative framework of vineyards and olive trees.

With a wide, travertine-tiled surround, and plenty of sun loungers, the swimming pool is a soft ochre colour, blending comfortably with the olive groves and vineyards. Set in a delightful position down the hillside from the farm, it has extensive and beautiful views across to the Chianti hills.

Should you wish to venture further afield, San Gimignano with its famous towers is half an hour's drive away, Siena is under an hour, all through landscape that seems lifted straight out of a renaissance fresco.
