Rustic farmhouse, Casale di Cellole, is an ideal base from which to explore Tuscany, and an equally delightful place in which to laze away the day, either by relaxing in the pretty garden, soaking up the sun on the private patio, or enjoying a refreshing dip in the small pool. Both the location and views are unrivalled – guests can look forward to stunning sunsets and a peace and tranquillity that’s broken only by the sound of crickets.

The old farmhouse has been converted into 3 apartments for the guests: apartment Moon for 2 - 4 people, apartment Zoo for 2 people and River for up to 6 people. There are also two detached houses on the domain: Canopy (6 pers) and Africa (2 people). A total of 20 guests can stay on the property. The eclectic mix of furniture, art and antiques is unique and very tastefully done.

The pretty, well-maintained garden is brimming with flowers and conceals a small swimming pool that was once an ancient cistern used to irrigate the surrounding orchards. Next to the pool, which is cleaned with salt rather than chlorine, is a lovely sun terrace complete with sun beds and, once again, that breath-taking view.

The owners are both extremely friendly and highly knowledgeable about Tuscany, and more than happy to provide guests with recommendations for some of the finest restaurants, pizzerias, bars and wineries in the area.

All in all, a holiday accommodation that we gladly recommend!
