Overview

Casale di Larniano sits among the pristine rolling hills of the Crete Senesi on the edge of Chianti. It's a tranquil holiday refuge within easy driving distance of Siena and Florence. The myriad vineyards and picturesque hill towns of Chianti can be reached on beautiful country roads.

This luxuriously restored seventeenth century farmhouse oozes light and style. The textures are rich, the colors are soothing and traditional materials have been used throughout. The original beamed ceilings have been retained on both levels and the lovely stone facade is evocatively strewn with roses.

The large, tranquil grounds are planted with fragrant rosemary, lavender bushes and fig trees and offer unblemished views over the Tuscan countryside. There is a delightful pool with a broad pergola for dining or lounging in the shade.
