Autumn Vacation Rentals in Capannori
Description
Property Summary
Casale Fienile is a beautifully restored Tuscan country house nestled within the exclusive organic farm estate of "La Mandriola," situated on the outskirts of the charming borgo of Lajatico, in the heart of Tuscany, Italy. Born from the careful renovation of an ancient ruin once used as a barn, this exceptional vacation rental retains all the character of its origins through its distinctive stone-clad exterior and warm, rustic interior, while offering every modern comfort expected of a refined countryside retreat. Covering a total area of approximately 170 square metres across 2 floors, the property is enveloped by a lush private yard of around 1,000 square metres, thoughtfully landscaped with manicured lawns and framed by olive trees, cypresses, and pines that create a serene and picturesque setting. Guests benefit from a dedicated parking area conveniently located near the house, accessible via a private driveway from the entrance gate, as well as high-speed Internet Wi-Fi connectivity throughout the property, ensuring a seamless stay whether for leisure or remote working. The estate of "La Mandriola" spans 400 hectares cultivated using a strictly biological and biodynamic approach, entirely free from chemical products such as herbicides, desiccants, or pesticides, making it a truly unique and environmentally conscious destination in one of the most captivating corners of Tuscany.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Casale Fienile are as thoughtfully designed as the interior, offering a harmonious blend of relaxation, dining, and natural beauty. In front of the main entrance, 2 covered porches are equipped with tables and chairs, providing ideal settings for leisurely alfresco dining or simply unwinding while taking in the surrounding countryside. The private yard, extending to approximately 1,000 square metres and delimited by a hedge screen that ensures complete privacy from the adjacent property, is a tranquil haven of manicured lawns interspersed with olive trees, cypresses, and pines lining the garden paths.
The non-heated swimming pool is a true centrepiece of the outdoor experience, open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October. Facing south and positioned on a private terrace approximately 30 metres from the house, it is reached via a short flight of steps and enjoys unobstructed views of the rolling Tuscan countryside, as it is bounded by a low hedge screen that preserves the panorama rather than concealing it. The rectangular pool measures 4x8 metres with a constant depth of 1.10 metres, features Roman steps for water access, and is lined in clear PVC with a stone-paved border and chlorine purification. Surrounding the pool in the lawn area, a gazebo and a stone structure housing a barbecue create a perfect setting for poolside meals and social gatherings. Adjacent to this, a raised platform with synthetic turf offers an ideal sunbathing area from which to savour the sweeping landscape that extends in every direction across the Pisan hills.
