irrigated private gardens, olive grove, fruit trees and its own swimming pool.

The large farmhouse Casale was purchased by two friends and over the years they have appreciated the flexibility that the property has offered, using it as two independent houses or a one large farmhouse when large family gatherings took place.

The farmhouse has 6 bedrooms all with en-suite bathrooms and is comprised on two floors with living rooms, studies and kitchen on the ground floor and the sleeping quarters on the first floor.

The house has a perfect mix of traditional and modern finishes such as wooden beams, terracotta floor, stone staircases and open fireplaces. The house is fitted with air conditioning, technical room housing the boiler, washing machine and extra storage space.

The outside of the property is a picture perfect Tuscan landscape and the private garden has many places to relax, dine ‘al fresco’ and entertain in the warm summer evenings that Tuscany offers. The property is surrounded by manicured lawns and hedges, that have their own irrigation system and the private swimming pool is located near the fruit and olive grove.

Although the property is private with it’s own pool, the benefits of being within a residence complex offers complete security with maintainence and gardening services taking away the hassle of owning a property abroad.
