Farmhouse with Pool, Olive Grove and Eco-House in the Heart of Tuscany

On the hills of Casole d'Elsa, in the heart of the most authentic Tuscany, stands this family-run stone farmhouse — a place where nature sets the pace, sunsets do the talking and silence is broken only by birdsong and fireflies on summer evenings. Away from mass tourism but within easy reach of Siena, San Gimignano, Volterra and Florence, the property offers three independent units — a stone apartment for four with a private panoramic rooftop terrace, an intimate studio for couples carved into the historic body of the farmhouse, and a brand new, fully sustainable eco-house — with a panoramic pool, an estate olive grove and direct access to the protected forests of Berignone, one of Tuscany's most extensive natural areas. The ideal destination for those seeking an authentic hideaway in the Tuscan countryside, away from it all yet close to everything.

Three Independent Accommodation Units: Stone, Wood and Sustainability

The property offers three independent apartments, each with a private entrance, exclusive terrace or outdoor space and a well-defined character. From the exposed beams of the main apartment to the hand-crafted stone of Il Nascondiglio, through to the clean modern lines of the eco-house in sustainable materials, each unit tells a different story of life in the Tuscan countryside.

Panoramic Pool with Views over the Tuscan Hills

The panoramic pool, nestled in the hillside landscape, is one of the property's highlights. A place where time slows, the eye wanders across the slopes and Tuscan sunsets become the evening's entertainment. Available to all guests, it is the heart of outdoor life in this unspoilt corner of Tuscany.

Estate Olive Grove and Extra Virgin Olive Oil Production

The farmhouse is also an agricultural estate with its own olive grove. The property produces Tuscan extra virgin olive oil from the olive trees that surround the house and give the landscape its characteristic silver light. Guests can explore the olive grove, immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the seasonal harvest and purchase the oil directly on site — an authentic product to bring home as a souvenir of this corner of Tuscany.

Berignone Forest: Hiking, Cycling and Swimming in the Cecina River 

Behind the property lie the protected forests of Berignone, one of the most extensive and unspoilt natural areas in Tuscany. The numerous trails offer endless possibilities for hiking and cycling, while the Cecina river — with its clear waters and swimmable stretches — is reachable directly from the forest paths. A paradise for nature lovers, hikers and eco-tourists.

Villages, Vineyards and Cities of Art: Central Tuscany within easy reach

The farmhouse's location is strategic for those wanting to explore the best of Tuscany. The hilltop medieval villages of the area offer cobbled streets, ancient churches, local restaurants and an authentic life still far removed from mass tourism. Quality restaurants are nearby — with the closest just 5 minutes by car — and the region's main cultural destinations are all within reach:

• Siena: the Piazza del Campo, the Palio, the Cathedral — approximately 40 minutes away
• San Gimignano: the medieval towers and Vernaccia wine — approximately 30 minutes away
• Volterra: the Etruscan historic centre and alabaster cliffs — approximately 30 minutes away
• Florence: museums, the Renaissance, the Arno — approximately 1.5 hours away
• Chianti: vineyards, wineries and white gravel roads — in the immediate surroundings

Why Choose This Farmhouse in Tuscany?
