Item Description

One free night after purchasing a 3 night stay in a delightful farm not far from Florence. Enjoy the old fashioned Tuscan hospitality!

Three bedrooms with stunning panoramic views. Podere La Casellina is a working farm in the beautiful countryside between Chianti and the Arno Valley, an area of chestnuts and oak forests, interspersed with ancient olive groves, orchards and gnarled vineyards. This is a small, organic farm, producing fine green olive oil, fresh fruit, seasonal vegetables and wine, and offering a comfortable stay, free of stress and commotion, and not too far off the beaten track.

Here you can picnic beneath the olive trees, gather chestnuts and wild mushrooms in the woods or simply sit back and enjoy the view of Monti del Chianti and Pratomagno. The farm is a short drive from Florence, the most important among the Tuscan Cities of Art, and is convenient to reach the vineyards of Chianti and the other major cities of central Tuscany. The farm has belonged to the family for four generations, and the hospitality reflects the traditional easy warmth of local contadini or countryfolk. The owners are eager to satisfy any requests, appreciating that people come to this part of the world to enjoy the easy pace of life and the beauty of the surroundings. The stables and hayloft have been carefully restored and converted into three simple, bright bedrooms with bathrooms and excellent views.

Breakfast is provided by the family, who live in the old stone-built farmhouse. Delicious, home-cooked evening meals, prepared by the owner's mother from La Casellina's products, are also served in the farmhouse dining room.
