Here’s Where You’ll Stay: San Casciano Val di Pesa

Why we love this villa: Its charm, its history, its proximity to Florence, the ability to walk into town, the staff, the expansive areas to gather, the food, the on-site winery, the comfortable beds, and of course, the amazing views! This beautifully restored 400-year-old farmhouse comes with a private swimming pool and stocked with Principe Corsini wine. Some mornings you may even catch a glimpse of the hot air balloons in flight!

This villa is a show-stopper with it’s unbelievable location on the Villa Le Corti Estate, owned and still resided by the historical and esteemed Corsini family. When you stay here you are immersed within the olive groves and vineyards of Principe Corsini. Their wine and olive oil are delicious and plentiful within the villa. With the estate so close, it’s only a short walk down the driveway to enjoy the fine dining at their Osteria, partake in a winery tour and tasting or get your hands messy in the chef-led cooking class.

The villa boasts many comfortable areas for gathering and lounging, both indoors and outdoors, 7 well-appointed bedrooms, modern en-suite bathrooms, heating and air-conditioning. The villa has a well-equipped farmhouse kitchen, large dining room, and shaded outdoor courtyard which includes a large dining area for al fresco meals.
