Project description

The 4,200-acre estate of Castello di Casole is a treasure in the heart of the Tuscan countryside. Not far from Florence and Siena, Castello di Casole is set in the rolling hills of Italy’s most romantic region, its past rich with history, its present inspiring and inviting, while its future holds great promise.Since its origins, Castello di Casole has been an agricultural estate and to this day produces a reserve label wine from its working vineyards and extra virgin olive oil from its groves. A model game reserve, the estate is home to a variety of wildlife from pheasants to boar.
The view that welcomes visitors today along the road from the neighboring hilltown of Casole d’Elsa towards the Castello is an intimate reflection of its original Tuscan landscape in the 18th Century - a landscape every bit as pastoral and pristine as it was over 200 years ago. Two grand cypress-lined lanes ascend to a historic castle, which is currently undergoing restoration and will emerge a 41-suite boutique hotel in the spring of 2011 replete with restaurants and a bar, a luxurious spa and fitness center, artisan shops including a bike shop, espresso café and gelateria; terraces, courtyards and more.

Project details

Dotting the estate are restored Casali farmhouses featuring modern amenities such as contemporary kitchens and lavish bathrooms inside while outside are dramatic, glass-tiled infinity-edge pools surrounded by private terraces. Each farmhouse is individually named, uniquely designed and set apart from the others for the ultimate in convenience and privacy. The farmhouse residences are available through residential interest program or as whole ownership. The concept of fractional vacation home ownership is very popular nowadays,it is one of the fastest-growing segments of the luxury residential market. By providing the pampering services and rich amenities of a five-star resort, the Castello di Casole experience offers practical and convenient ownership options. The ownership concept makes a great deal of sense for many people because it provides all the benefits of owning a vacation home of the highest quality, without any of the associated hassles. The trials of second-home ownership, especially one in a foreign country, are replaced with security, services and amenities only found in the world's finest resorts.
