About this house rental
Casolese | Where History Meets Timeless Luxury
Nestled among the rolling hills of the Tuscan countryside, just a short drive from Florence, Casolese is an extraordinary historic estate whose origins date back to the fifteenth century.
First documented in 1427, this remarkable property has preserved the authentic soul of Tuscany while embracing contemporary comfort and refined elegance.
Surrounded by ancient olive groves, forests and breathtaking landscapes, the estate takes its name from the Latin word casulae, meaning 'small houses', referring to the two beautiful stone buildings that have defined this unique setting for centuries. Today, Casolese offers an exclusive retreat where history, nature and luxury come together to create an unforgettable Tuscan experience.
Elegant Living Spaces Designed for Togetherness
The estate is composed of two independent residences that perfectly balance shared living with complete privacy. The main villa welcomes guests into spacious interiors where exposed wooden beams, Pietra Serena stone and timeless Tuscan architecture blend effortlessly with modern comforts. Bright and beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with private en-suite bathrooms, overlook the surrounding valley and woodlands, while the generous living room and fully equipped professional kitchen create the perfect setting for gathering with family and friends. Every space has been thoughtfully designed to celebrate conviviality without compromising elegance or comfort.
Private Suites in the Restored Hayloft
Across the charming courtyard stands the former hayloft, now transformed into three elegant independent suites that offer an additional level of privacy for larger groups. Each suite features its own private entrance, a welcoming living area, a contemporary bathroom and a spacious double bedroom on the upper floor. This unique layout allows every guest to enjoy the intimacy of a private retreat while remaining connected to the warm atmosphere of the estate.
Infinity Pool
Panoramic Gardens
Surrounded by fragrant rosemary, jasmine and strawberry trees, Casolese's beautifully landscaped gardens lead to a spectacular infinity pool overlooking olive groves and the rolling Tuscan hills. Here, guests can spend peaceful days immersed in nature while enjoying uninterrupted panoramic views that stretch across the countryside. The shaded pergola and panoramic terrace provide the perfect setting for outdoor breakfasts, leisurely lunches and unforgettable dinners beneath the stars, while the barbecue area invites guests to embrace the relaxed lifestyle that defines Tuscany.
Italian Design
Artistic Heritage
Every interior reflects a refined balance between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary Italian design. Natural materials, elegant furnishings and carefully curated decorative pieces create warm, sophisticated spaces enriched by the artistic vision of Simone Boni, whose murals celebrate the nine historic districts of medieval Florence. Bitossi design objects and beautifully illustrated books complete an atmosphere where culture, creativity and authentic hospitality are seamlessly woven together.
