Casale del Lago, San Casciano in Val di Pesa - Florence and Chianti

4 bedrooms 3 bathrooms 8 guests Private Pool

If Florence is your first love, Casale del Lago is excellently located – the spectacular Renaissance city is a short drive away. But there are also treasures to be found in the much smaller San Casciano val di Pesa, first settled by the Etruscans, a walk away. This neat, traditional rendered property in the heart of Chianti Classico territory lies at the end of an exclusive drive, overlooking a small lake, with views across surrounding forest-clad hills. The large furnished terrace that runs the breadth of the house is fully exposed to these vistas and the sun, but is otherwise deliciously private.

Arranged over two floors, the villa’s four bedrooms can accommodate up to eight people. Young and old will appreciate the private pool, set just beneath the house but easily overlooked from one of the two terraces, the indoor mini snooker table and outdoor barbecue and Jacuzzi. The large rustic kitchen is a great place for relaxed meals when you get tired of the sun. And, if you come at either end of the season, you’ll enjoy evenings by the fire under the wonderful original vaulted terracotta ceiling in one of the two lounges.

Our Thoughts
By installing not one but two Jacuzzis, the owners of this well-placed villa have ensured some luxury comforts. While the outside Jacuzzi, set to the side of the house, lends itself to a shared bottle of Chianti or cold beer, the indoor one may need a booking system – the third bathroom, set alone in the tower above the first-floor bedrooms, is a serious invitation to come over super-indulgent. But, seriously, Casale del Lago has all you’ll need to appreciate this private sun spot.

Notes
The nearby Florence-Siena road is not visible, however some noise from it can be heard. There is a small annex on the property, which is closed.
