A stunning old stone villa in a beautiful location, Il Casetto has been exquisitely reinterpreted in its design and decoration to make your time here utterly pleasurable. A tasteful eye has been cast over this traditional property, restyling it to accentuate original features and add all the requisite luxuries for sumptuous modern-day living. The main lounge and dining room both have walls of windows, directing the eye to where it belongs, the views of the surrounding vineyards and hills. The kitchen is a feat of architecture; set in a former storage room with a barrel-vaulted ceiling, its bare stone exposed, this is now a large atmospheric space in which the chef in your party (or a private chef if you prefer) can get down to some serious cooking. Upstairs the romantic en-suite bedrooms, two of which open onto a terrace, will guarantee the sweetest dreams.
Only the chirrup of a bird is likely to break the silence outside; this is a place to embrace the Tuscan countryside, even though you are just a short drive from the fortified village of Volpaia and market town of Radda, with Siena and Florence achievable day trips. We challenge you to drag yourselves away from the views of the valley. The upper and lower terraces and the pergola by the lawn (an essential dining space on a hot summer’s day or cool evening), provide three well-appointed perches from which to gaze, as does the edge of the private infinity pool.
Everything from the sofas to the bathrooms has been chosen to ensure there is a seamless style to the interior throughout, which balances character with comfort. From the lush green lawns to the redolent terraces, the luxurious pool to the plush bedrooms, there is much to like about Il Casetto.
