Gaze upon endless hillside views, majestic sunsets, and the town of Casole from the tower-lookout of this Tuscan farmhouse. Escape to Casali di Casole’s 4200-acre vineyard and forest estate. Spend your days lounging poolside, dining alfresco, and learning to craft traditional Tuscan pizza in the wood oven. Then, plan out day trips to Florence, Siena, and beyond. 

The first building restored on the estate, Il Gabbro holds a special place in the Casali legacy. Marvel at the hallway’s chandelier, created by a master glassblower in Murano for an exhibition in Venice. It has since traveled to art installation all around the world. Your inner chef will fall in love with the kitchen’s original wood stove, fairytale-like stone walls, and timber ceilings. 

Follow stone pathways through the lawns to 2 separate guest houses and the swimming pool area. While you’re out amongst the trees, pick a spot in the shade and read, or work on your tan from a sun lounger. On cooler nights, warm yourself by the imposing fireplace or take a blanket out to the pergola and sip wine in the moonlight. 

After a vineyard tour, a trip to the spa, and dinner at one of the estate’s restaurants make your way west to Siena. Snap a few pics from the lookout of Tower of Mangia in the Pubblico Palace; from there you’ll have one of the best views in all of Italy. Then, head north to Florence and spend the rest of the day wandering through Renaissance masterpieces at the Uffizi Gallery.
