LUXURY COTTAGE WITH POOL & BREATHTAKING VIEW - NEXT TO A GOLF COURSE (PENDOLINO)

This highly exclusive villa can host up to 8 persons and has it all: usable space of 201m² and refined high-end equipment, in a tasteful blend of Tuscan heritage and modernity. The villa is part of the main farm building and has a huge private patio of 145m², with sofa-relax area and BBQ.

Ideally situated at a stone’s throw from Volterra and San Gimignano, Monte Casone is a veritable haven of peace blessed with a view which is worthy of the most beautiful of postcards. Rest assured, you will experience moments of complete fulfilment, which you will be happy to share with your loved ones in the large overflow swimming pool or during unforgettable evenings with a good glass of Brunello wine.
Whether you are a golfer, a walker, a passionate historian or whether you are simply looking for peace and tranquillity, you will find what you are looking for in Monte Casone.

HOLIDAY ACCOMMODATIONS UNLIKE ANY OTHERS

The Pendolino villa (201m2) and the Frantoio cottage (104m2) are located within the farm complex, whereas the Moraiolo stand-alone cottage (98m2) is to be found on the site of an old hayloft. Each accommodation has a furnished private patio.

The three spacious lodges enjoy superior privacy and are designed and equipped to make you feel at home. From the Nespresso machine to Netflix and the Bose portable speaker, you will find everything you need for your well-being.
Because luxury is in the detail.

COMFORT ALL YEAR ROUND:

Monte Casone can welcome you all year round with the highest level of comfort and respect for the environment. To achieve this the farm holiday accommodation has been renovated recently with green technologies which have brought the buildings to the highest level of energy performance (A+).
Extremely efficient and comfortable in winter (up to 24°C in every room), the geothermal system uses the under-floor piping equipment for cooling purposes in summer. This technology is healthier and more comfortable than flowing cold air. The temperature inside the accommodation is typically kept around 8°C to 10°C cooler than peak outside temperature. Also, all bedrooms windows are equipped with mosquito nets, so as to take maximum advantage of night coolness.
The use of these technologies, which is extremely rare in this region of Italy, offers you the possibility of visiting Tuscany out of season and thus to avoid overcrowding in the high season in the popular tourist destinations.
During your stay at this holiday home, you'll be close to Castelfalfi Golf Course. Features include an outdoor pool. The holiday home includes amenities such as free WiFi and a kitchen.
  • Air-conditioned home with kitchen, washing machine and 3 bathrooms
  • Free WiFi
  • Take a swim in the outdoor pool
  • 2.6 miles (4.2 km) from Castelfalfi Golf Course and 7.4 miles (11.9 km) from Monastery of San Vivaldo
LUXURY COTTAGE WITH POOL & BREATHTAKING VIEW - NEXT TO A GOLF COURSE (PENDOLINO) offers its guests an outdoor pool, barbecue grills, and a garden. The front desk is open around the clock.

Villa in the heart of Tuscany
We absolutely loved the villa and it met all of our expectations. It is beautiful on the inside with all modern accessories we needed except there was no freezer and no ice. We had to buy ice and place in the refrigerator. It melted by morning. This property is surrounded by an incredible view of the surrounding hills, valleys, fields and olive groves. The sunsets are stupendous and we saw a double rainbow over the pool after a rain shower one afternoon. It is remote and somewhat difficult to get to. You will need a driver (as we had) or a car to leave if you wish to tour. I highly recommend this property to anyone who wishes to experience rural Tuscany.

Perfect location for exploring Tuscany
This is a beautiful property thoroughly enjoyed by three couples. The views of the Tuscan hills surrounding the property are expansive. The location was great for our exploration of Tuscany which included day trips to San Gimignano, Siena, Volterra, Florence, Lucca, Peccioli, Ghizzano , Lari and other destinations in surrounding area. The property is secluded with a partially paved and gravel road for access but even our driver with a large Van was able to traverse same with no significant problem. The Villa is loaded with amenities and was a wonderful home away from home.

In the heart of the Tuscan countryside
We stayed in main house - facilities were first class - everything you needed was there. When we needed something Sara provided it quickly. All the rooms were very comfortable- even though it was 33-37 degrees everyday - the house cooled down that sleeping was not a problem. The pool was sensational- but I suppose it is pot luck who is renting the other 2 houses. We had great fellow renters so the pool was a great place to cool off. The large TV room was used once during a thunderstorm- great fun and the table for outside eating was around the side - so very private. Visited Pisa, Firenze, some local villages and hill top towns - all so interesting. Golf played - the Mountain Course was great but very pricey, they have tennis and Padel as well. We had a great week - thanks to the team. Jerry & family

Lovely villa
The villa and view were very nice, the road to the villa was a little challenging as was getting through the small village to get to the villa. We had a storm one night and alarms went off and we later found out there had been a fire and damage to the thermal cooling system which meant we were without cooling and hot water for several days, the host did compensate us for our inconvenience. We hired a private chef to cook for us one night and it was very nice and recommend it. One note the listing mentions it is provided with thermal cooling and lists it as A/C when in fact it is not like US A/C, it would be ok for cooler months but not for summer months if you are used to US A/C, you would need to open the windows at night to get comfortable which we could not do as my wife has a medical condition. overall a nice villa with great views.

We had a very happy stay at this home. I am someone who notices quality levels of things and I am very amazed at how every detail of the house and property are of the highest quality with never any expense spared. The pool area and views are beautiful. The outdoor dining table under the pergola was like an area from a movie or travel show. At times the view seemed so beautiful that it felt unreal - But it is real. I enjoyed the nearby small town of Ghizzano. It is very non-touristy and a lovely place to walk around or stop and have some espresso. I am from the USA, and I loved my time in Italy and the beauty and the people. I am admittedly very spoiled when it comes to ease of getting a large variety of groceries. That was something I did not figure out how to do in this region. I am not saying that as a problem, as we were out most of the time for lunches and dinners and I think it is more of a different way of food shopping than what I am accustomed to. Of the Etruscan walled towns within an hour or two, I liked Voltera the best. We also did an hour drive to Pisa to the train station and took the train to La Spezia to visit Cinque Terre. That was a long day but worth it. We went to Florence by catching the train from Pontedera. And also drove to the winery at San Gimignano where we greatly enjoyed the wine and the town. The owners were quickly responsive to messages. And the property manager, Sara, was also very sweet and responsive. Thank you.

First Class experience.
This is a truly special property which we thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend. We were three couples looking for a relaxing stay after busy days in hectic Amalfi coast. Here it was like being in a zen spa! The infinity pool with views of iconic Italian country side was a total amazement. The pool is shared with two other rentals on same property. Three bedrooms with two baths en suite were good for our group. We cooked in every night and the kitchen was well suited to a group our side with a perfect outdoor seating area for meals. Recommend you do your shopping before you get to the villa as it is a 20 minute drive into the grocery store in Peccioli. Be sure to purchase basic condiments for meal prep. The Villa is indeed well off the main road but this was part of the charm of the experience for us. Such peace and quiet at night! Property manager was very helpful and advised us of some unusual visits in the area which we enjoyed, to include the Vespa Museum!

Beautiful Country Villa in Northern Tuscany
A ways off the main roads, this villa will not disappoint those willing to make the drive. Situated atop a hill with 360 degree vistas of the rolling hills. Very spacious “apartment” (1 of 3 on the property) but lots of privacy and very quiet. Modern furnishings in a restored old farm building. The master suite is huge; the other 3 bedrooms are quite adequate in size, one with en suite. Large modern kitchen with all the essential cookware, large refrigerator with separate large freezer in the adjacent laundry Very well maintained and clean. Larger than expected. All in all a wonderful place to stay in the countryside !

Best vacation ever
The listing does not do this rental justice. If you are looking for a beautiful quiet place in the middle of Tuscany ( there were 5 of us staying here). Easy to get to all areas of Tuscany. The property is absolutely beautiful and the pool is the best I’ve ever seen. Anna is fantastic manager. It was like a home away from home. Would definitely rent again. Rental had everything we could need as we did cook many meals. You do need a car as most things at least 10-20 minutes away . Nearby towns charming with great restaurants, grocery, e- bikes, etc. One of the best vacations I have ever had, was hard to,come back to reality. Thanks for everything!

Spectacular property!!!
This was our first trip to Italy and my husband and I only wanted to stay in villas/apartments. This property went above our expectations. There are 3 villas on the property and we stayed in the largest. There are 4 bedrooms and 3 1/3 baths. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING was perfect. The kitchen (dishes, pots, etc.) is very well stocked. The laundry room is enormous! We immediately regretted only booking for 3 nights. We have traveled to many countries and rarely do we feel that we want to go back to a place that we have stayed in the past. We are already thinking about how we can include a stay here the next time we visit Europe. The views from the property and the surrounding area is simply stunning! We did not see the inside of the other two villas, but I am sure they are just as wonderful. We were not sure how private it would feel, but trust me, the layout of the 3 properties provides a lot of privacy. Pool is much larger than we anticipated and stunning views of the Tuscany landscaping. Anna, the host was wonderful. Highly recommend this property!
