Villa Casagrande
Steeped in history and bursting with rustic charm, this romantic 14th-Century farmhouse has beautiful gardens, pretty courtyards and a charming cloister. Take a short uphill walk to the outdoor pool, which is free for hotel guests, although there is a charge for the hire of sun loungers and parasols. Inside the Villa, there's an indoor pool, plus a sauna, steamroom, Jacuzzi and Turkish bath. The wellness centre offers a wide range of treatments designed to soothe, rejuvenate and relax. The noble floor of the Villa is an actual museum adorned with Florentine, Sienese and Umbrian paintings alongside other interesting artefacts. Wine lovers will be fascinated by the wine cellar, still complete with antique machinery and large oak barrels used in ancient production.
The restaurant serves authentic Tuscan cuisine along with international dishes and, during the summer, the pretty ivy-draped courtyard provides a delightful setting for meals. During the winter months you can dine in the evocative antique hall.
The renovated rooms feature classic décor and modern amenities including air-conditioning and free Wi-Fi. The Classic Rooms are located on the second floor and are accessible via a small courtyard while the Comfort Rooms are set in the main wing.
