La Casina 
- sleeps 9
(Main House and one dependance)
San Casciano Dei Bagni  Siena |
 |
La Casina and its guest
cottage, nestled in the lovely lower-Chianti countryside amongst
rolling hills of vineyards, olive groves and cypress trees, is strategically
located halfway between Florence and Rome. It is the lovingly-renovated
property of an Italian architect and his American wife. |
From the villa, walking
distance from the village of Palazzone (San Casciano dei Bagni,
province of Siena), it is less than an hour drive to the spectacular
towns of Orvieto, Todi, Perugia, Pienza, Città della Pieve,
Siena, Montepulciano, Cortona, Bagni Vignoni and many others you
can discover on your own.

La Casina is an easy
90 drive (A1 highway) from airports in Rome and Florence and also
15 minutes from the city of Chiusi, from where trains part for all
major destinations.
The main house is furnished in a casual country style. The ground
floor has a large living area with a fireplace on one side and fully
equipped kitchen on the other, with a dishwasher, fridge with a
spacious freezer, oven and an American coffee maker. On the same
floor there is a storage room, a double bedroom with fan, wardrobe
and bedside tables, a bathroom with bath and its shower, and a small
single bedroom. Most of the furniture is antique. Connected to the
house is a small laundry room with washing machine and a sink. |
The master bedroom on the floor above
is furnished with Liberty furniture, and has a king size bed, a
private bathroom, ceiling fan and a veranda.Next to the master suite
is a bedroom with a pair of twin beds and a bathroom. All bedroom
windows are equipped with bug screens.
The guest cottage, very close to the main house, is a large open
space with a living area, a queen bed area and a private bathroom
with a shower. |

 |
A lovely new private pool is located
in the midst of an olive grove, overlooking vineyards, forests and
the distant towers of the medieval town of Citta' del Pieve. There
is also dining porch off the guesthouse and several furnished living
areas in the gardens around the villa. |
| Thermal spas and beauty treatment
centers abound. The charming historic town of San Casciano dei Bagni
(5 miles away) has a thermal, hot water spa with mud and mineral
water treatment, both in the countryside and at the recently opened
and luxurious Terme di Medici. |
 |
One can go horseback riding in the stables at nearby Celle
sul Rigo mountain biking or hiking through the Tuscan hills, or
take the train to see the splendors of Rome and Florence and the
many jewels in between. Sarteano (8 miles away) is another famous
spot given its cool mountains air and lovely fresh mineral water
pool, not to mention the many establishments in Chianciano.
There are many superior restaurants in the area serving
some of the local Tuscan specialties, including the "ribollita"
soup (vegetables and bread) and the "bici all'aglione"
(homemade spaghetti made of water and flour in a tomato garlic sauce).
Be sure to top it off with local extra virgin olive oil and Chianti
wines!
