The private park, which spreads around the house and is for the complete and exclusive use of guests, covers approximately 3,000 square metres and is largely flat, featuring well-maintained lawn areas enlivened by roses, olive trees, aromatic herb bushes, and fruit trees. A large loggia extends directly from the French window of the living room and serves as a magnificent outdoor living area, furnished with a comfortable seating arrangement and a dining table shaded by large umbrellas, alongside a traditional stone barbecue, making it an ideal setting for alfresco meals and relaxed evenings. The vineyard borders much of the park, adding a picturesque and authentically Tuscan character to the surroundings.

Property Summary

Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, Le Caselle is an extraordinary vacation rental that combines the grandeur of a historic manor house with the refined comfort of a fully restored countryside estate. This imposing property, which underwent its most recent renovation in 2014, comprises a main manor house and 2 charming outbuildings — an old tobacco drying kiln and a former communal bread oven once used by the sharecropper families of the estate — all seamlessly transformed into an elegant and welcoming retreat near Cortona. The interiors celebrate the timeless beauty of traditional Tuscan craftsmanship, featuring terracotta floors, exposed stone, rustic fireplaces, and vaulted ceilings, harmoniously paired with modern touches such as a professional kitchen with a central island and high-end electrical appliances. The property sits within a magnificent 50-hectare estate of vineyards, tobacco fields, olive groves, wheat fields, and sunflower meadows, producing top-quality gastronomical products and offering guests an immersive experience in authentic rural Tuscany. A generous yard surrounds the estate, enclosed by a high hedge and dotted with tall cypresses, pines, and firs, providing both privacy and natural beauty. Guests benefit from Wi-Fi internet access throughout their stay, while a dedicated gravel car park with both covered and open-air parking spaces ensures convenient and secure accommodation for vehicles.

The swimming pool, which is non-heated, measures 7 x 15 metres with a constant depth of 1.40 metres and is lined with ceramic tiles. Access to the water is via ladder or Roman steps, and the pool is equipped with a chlorine purification system. It is situated on the same level as the main house, just 15 metres away, and is easily accessible from both the house and the annexes thanks to the flat terrain and the complete absence of steps.
