Features- Private and secluded in the Tuscan countryside
DescriptionIl Casale is an attractive old farmhouse recently transformed into a welcoming holiday home whilst carefully maintaining the original characteristics of the building. The interior decorations and furnishings are of a high standard throughout. From its elevated position at the foot of Monte Cetona, the villa looks over the beautiful Val di Paglia and the surrounding landscape, made up of rolling hills alternated by wooded areas and red clay formations. The area is well known for its red wines, that can be sampled or purchased at the many wineries, cellars and wine bars. A few kilometres from the house is the small village of San Casciano dei Bagni, famous even in Etruscan and Roman times for its healing thermal waters. Spacious grounds surround the house whilst the oak woods guarantee privacy. The 5 x 10m swimming pool is in a lovely sunny position just a few metres from the main building.

Palazzone
Palazzone is a small characteristic Tuscan village in the hills below San Casciano dei Bagni. A tiny centre with just two cafes, bars, some well stocked general stores, post and some excellent local wine cellars, it has everything one could wish for on a self-catering holiday. The village is practically closed to traffic being a medieval town with very narrow roads. As a result the central piazza is a lively place for locals to meet for a coffee and converse. The local area has sport fields, tennis courts and some lovely country walks. We offer a selection of rental villas in the Palazzone area including some that are walking distance from the village. > more
