Casa San Casciano

About this property

Framed by olive groves and rolling Chianti hills, Casa San Casciano is a 15th-century stone farmhouse steeped in history, once part of the Medici estates and now reborn as a welcoming retreat for family gatherings and relaxed celebrations. As you arrive through the gates and along the gravel drive, the villa rises gently from the landscape, with tall cypresses standing sentinel and terracotta pots spilling with blooms. A deep sense of tranquillity fills the air, broken only by birdsong and the distant hum of the countryside. 

Set within three hectares of fenced gardens, this is a home built for outdoor living. A wide, lawned garden stretches out towards the valley, where a generous 17-metre swimming pool sparkles in the sun. Sun loungers line the poolside terrace, while an elegant arbor draped with climbing roses offers a shady corner for reading or drinks. Closer to the house, a loggia with vaulted stone arches opens to a dining terrace, ideal for leisurely lunches and long evening meals under the Tuscan sky. 

Inside, the villa is spread across two spacious floors, filled with warm light and rustic character. Wooden beams, terracotta floors and curved archways speak to the building’s noble past, while inviting furnishings and thoughtful touches make it feel like a lived-in home. The ground floor flows from a large living room to a sitting-dining area with a fireplace, then into a traditional Tuscan kitchen with stonework counters and everything needed to cook with ease. A small study, a bathroom and a full laundry room complete the floor. 

Upstairs, five bedrooms and five bathrooms provide space and privacy for up to ten guests. There are sweeping views from the upper floor windows, and even a sauna for two tucked into one of the bathrooms for a quiet moment of indulgence. 

Located just a few minutes from San Casciano and within easy reach of Florence, Siena and the towns of Chianti, Casa San Casciano is as well placed for exploring Tuscany as it is for unwinding. Whether you’re hosting a special gathering or simply seeking a slower rhythm, this is a villa where history, nature and comfort come together effortlessly. 

Casa San Casciano enjoys a wonderfully peaceful setting just outside San Casciano in Val di Pesa, a charming Tuscan town nestled in the hills between Florence and Siena. Surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, this stretch of the Chianti region is known for its timeless landscapes, rich winemaking heritage, and gentle way of life. You’ll find everything from rustic trattorias and family-run vineyards to grand Renaissance villas within a short drive. 

San Casciano itself is just 5 km from the villa and provides all the essentials, supermarkets, cafés, pharmacies, banks and a lively weekly market where you can stock up on local produce. It’s a town that has preserved its small-scale charm while offering modern conveniences, making it ideal for easy day-to-day living. 

Beyond San Casciano, the Florence–Siena motorway offers quick access to some of Tuscany’s most beloved destinations. Florence is just 30 minutes away by car, with its world-class museums, vibrant markets, and Renaissance architecture. Spend a day exploring the Uffizi, climbing the Duomo or simply wandering the cobbled streets with a gelato in hand. 

Head south and you’ll reach Siena in about 40 minutes, a city rich in medieval atmosphere, famed for its fan-shaped Piazza del Campo and the annual Palio horse race. In between, the Chianti region unfolds with towns like Greve, Radda and Castellina, each offering wine tastings, scenic drives and historical charm in equal measure. 

Golf lovers will find the Montelupo Golf Club 16 km away, while beach days are possible too, with the sandy shores of Versilia reachable in under two hours. The villa’s location offers the best of both worlds: immersion in the calm and character of the Tuscan countryside, with access to art cities, culture and coast all within day-trip distance. 

Whether you're browsing antique markets, tasting Chianti at the source, or taking scenic routes through the vine-laced hills, Casa San Casciano is ideally placed for making the most of Tuscany’s many sides.
