Description
Property Summary
Nestled on a gentle hill on the border between Tuscany and Umbria, Casale Bella Vita is a splendid and classy stone-and-brick residence that offers an exceptional vacation rental experience in the heart of the Italian countryside. Situated in the small hamlet of Moiano, this beautifully restored property lies halfway between Città della Pieve and Chiusi, immersing guests in a serene rural landscape far removed from the rhythms of everyday life. The result of a meticulous restoration completed in 2021, the house showcases a remarkable attention to interior detail, where a skilful selection of colours, furnishing accessories, and natural tones come together to create what can only be described as a "harmonious whole." Wrought iron, wood, and four-poster beds lend the bedrooms an intimate and romantic atmosphere, while the overall design reflects the natural beauty visible through every window. The property is set within a well-kept garden of approximately 3,000 sq m, offering guests generous outdoor living spaces that complement the refined interiors. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available throughout the property, ensuring guests remain connected during their stay. Ample parking is provided across 2 dedicated areas, the first in front of the house accommodating up to 10 cars and the second behind the house with space for up to 25 cars, both accessible via an automatic entrance gate. Casale Bella Vita is particularly well suited to groups of friends or families seeking spacious, elegant surroundings with the added benefit of privacy and independence.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Casale Bella Vita are among its most captivating features, offering a rich variety of settings for relaxation, dining, and recreation across a beautifully landscaped garden of approximately 3,000 sq m. The grounds are planted with a largely flat, lush lawn bordered by olive trees, tall trees, peach, apricot, and cherry trees, as well as lavender, jasmine, herbs, and flowers of every kind, creating a fragrant and colourful natural environment throughout the seasons. In front of the house, accessed via 3 stone steps, a generously sized shaded pergola with a wooden-beamed canopy provides an elegant alfresco dining area furnished with tables and chairs, positioned adjacent to the hot tub for a seamless outdoor experience. A second outdoor relaxation area, located just a few metres from the swimming pool, is equipped with a table, benches, and a brick barbecue, offering an ideal setting for informal gatherings. An outdoor gym area is situated on a slightly lower terrace for guests who wish to maintain their fitness routine even while on holiday.
