"A Heavenly Oasis in the Tuscan Hills! Fantastic Location and Breathtaking Views: Casanovina sits on a hilltop surrounded by rolling hills with vineyards and olive groves.. The panoramic views of the Chianti region are simply stunning. At sunrise and sunset, I felt as if I had stepped into a painting. The Pool: An Oasis of Tranquillity. The large pool is a true delight. Surrounded by greenery and overlooking the hills, it offered the perfect place to relax and cool off after a day of sightseeing. The ping-pong table regularly offered much-needed relaxation. Pleasant Town Within Reach: The charming town of Castellina in Chianti is just 5 minutes away by car. Here you will find cosy cafés, local shops and restaurants where you can enjoy delicious Tuscan dishes. Warm Welcome: The host and his daughter greeted us with warmth and hospitality. They gave us valuable tips on the area and made us feel at home right away. Ideal Location: Casanovina is strategically located between Siena and Florence, making it a perfect base for day trips. Nearby San Gimignano is also worth a visit. Honestly, we were not able to discover a single flaw during our stay. Everything was just perfect." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I loved visiting Villa Ombrone on my visit to Tuscany, what stood out most was the synergy between Villa Ombrone and its owners. The owner, an engineer, meticulously crafted the villa's technical features, and spoke passionately of their solar panels, while his wife, an artist, designed its stunning interiors. The terrace provides some of the finest views in Tuscany, with the Monte Amiata volcano on one side and Elba Island visible on the horizon. Guests can enjoy a range of exclusive experiences, including private chef services, cooking classes, and wine tastings." - Mikolaj, Villa Specialist.

Villa Ombrone truly excels in every aspect. Olive oil is produced onsite; olive oil, which recently won two gold awards at the International Olive Oil Competition in London and a silver medal at the Amsterdam International Olive Oil Competition. (Pretty impressive if you ask us!)
