Description:


"I Casali" consists of a large property perfect for an exclusive farmhouse's holiday ,far from the frenetic rythm of everyday life, immersed in the beautiful Tuscan countryside. The old property has been entirely restored and transformed into residential apartments gravitating around a beautiful green garden; a rare accomodation  from which lead off naturalistic, artistic and cultural itineraries.

 

The Tuscan farmhouse holiday or agriturismo is not a fad, its a way of being, a way of having a completely free vacation. It's having a home away from home and having desire to rediscover the world at peace. The importance of treating yourself… balanced between the past and the future.

Here you will experience a magic encounter between art and soul, and life-harmony and friendship. Our pleasure of giving hospitality is particularly great.
