Casale Toscano is an extraordinary and beautifully restored villa, thoughtfully renovated by its current owners an Italian architect and his Australian wife. Nestled in a breathtaking, secluded valley in the heart of the iconic Chianti wine region, the villa offers the ideal balance of privacy and convenience. Just 20 minutes from the historic city of Siena, an hour from Florence, and only five minutes from a charming local village with a renowned restaurant and essential amenities, the location is both tranquil and accessible. The current owners have preserved the villa’s authentic Tuscan character while seamlessly integrating modern comforts and luxurious finishes. Natural local materials have been used with creativity and care, allowing the home to blend harmoniously into its magnificent natural surroundings. Just a short stroll from the house, the villa’s elliptical, heated infinity-edge swimming pool offers a spectacular panoramic view across the valley. It’s an idyllic setting for relaxation and indulgence. There is a covered patio equipped with table and chairs for al fresco meals. The gentle sound of the river running through the estate’s 50 hectares creates an atmosphere of total serenity—ideal for an aperitivo or a restful afternoon. Inside, the villa features fully ducted air conditioning and luxurious king-size bedding in every en-suite bedroom, ensuring comfort throughout. The classic Italian covered loggia at the entrance sets the tone for the rest of the property. The main living areas are adorned with handcrafted Tuscan terracotta tiles and include a grand entrance foyer, a spacious double lounge with an open fireplace, a sun-filled dining room, and a contemporary gourmet kitchen. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, equipped with polished Travertine countertops, a central island, double fridge/freezer, ice maker, wine cellar fridge, and an expansive cooktop. Five sets of French doors open from the main living spaces to the villa’s elegant outdoor areas, including a traditional Tuscan pergola with a custom-built oak table that seats up to 20 guests—perfect for al fresco dinners under the stars. On the first floor, a second living room with a working fireplace and hardwood Chevron parquet leads to a spectacular covered loggia, offering comfortable seating and sweeping views over the valley. Three of the five en-suite double bedrooms are located on this floor, including the master suite.
