About this property
Farmhouse villa with private swimming pool, terrace, garden, stunning view
PODERE CASAROTTA is a private villa in a XVIII century farmhouse, that has been restored, divided in six apartments, and provided with a swimming pool immersed in the silence of the countryside. Halfway between Florence and Arezzo, on the cliff of Pratomagno mountain, with a stunning sight on the whole Valdarno valley and the Chianti hills. Immersed in nature and surrounded by olive trees (we still make our own organic olive oil).
The house features six apartments that have one or two bedrooms each, living room with equipped kitchen, private bathroom and private outdoor garden area. Each apartment can sleep 2/4 persons, together they accommodate any group up to 24 persons (14 in double beds + up to 10 in added beds/sofabeds). Perfect for groups of 12-16.
One of the apartments (the stand-alone Hayloft) has a large dining room with 16 seats and a large private terrace with view where even larger groups can comfortably eat altogether in an unforgettable setting.
Thanks to the privileged position, you will find a perfect balance between rest & relaxation and moving around to visit Tuscany. The house is secluded, silent and peaceful, but at the same time it's near to local town and villages: the nearest shopping point is Castelfranco, just 4kms away, and the A1 motorway is just at a 10 minutes drive.
Podere Casarotta will be your luxurious, comfortable and relaxing starting point to enjoy Tuscany! Whatever you are looking for: art, history, culture, parks and nature, wine and food routes, or just perfect relax, you will find them all at hand!

Beautiful peaceful Tuscany.
The apartment was large and well equipped. It had a lovely sunny terrace and its own private garden. The views are fabulous. The manager could not have been more helpful with giving us local information. The villa is in a beautiful location. Perfect to visit Florence and Pisa. There are some lovely bike rides too. I would recommend these apartments to anyone.

A beautiful place with very friendly and helpful staff
We had a fantastic week at Podere Casarotta. We stayed in Il Loggia, a one bedroom apartment. It is very spacious, with a comfortable bed and a lovely shower. It also has a private area immediately outside with views over the valley, the Valdarno. Simone and everyone there could not have been more helpful. Simone welcomed us and showed us around, and he and his partner cooked us a delicious and memorable meal one evening. There is a lovely 15m+ pool which is shared with the other residents, but it is easily big enough with plenty of loungers by the pool. The information folder provided gave us lots of interesting and useful information about the area - for example it told us clearly how we could travel by train to Florence, which we did very successfully one day. There is a range of shops in Castelfranco di Sopra, including a friendly bakers shop. All in all, this is a great place to stay!

Great place, great weather, great value
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, fantastic place, stunning views, relaxing and chilled throughout our stay. Easy to get to places such as Florence, would recommend a trip to Lucca and the Il Conto de Maggio restaurant. If you're looking for a place in the hills away from the hustle of day to day life with great views and weather this is the place for you

mooi, groot en rustig gelegen woning
De ontvangst was zeer vriendelijk. De woning was ruim, compleet en in een zeer mooie en rustige omgeving gelegen. Prima zwembad met voldoende ligplekken.
Erg mooi was de gezamenlijke buitenruimte met mogelijkheden voor te zitten en te BBQ'en en een geweldig uitzicht over de vallei.
Persoonlijk vond ik het jammer dat er alleen in een gezamenlijke ruimte WIFI was.

Erholung pur
Podere Casarotta liegt wunderschön mit Blick auf das Valdarno und die Hügel des Chianti. Um das große Haus befinden sich zahlreiche Olivenbäume und ein sehr schönes Pool-Areal. Die Ferienwohnung war großzügig geschnitten, wir wurden mit Nudeln, Tomatensoße, Wein, Keksen und allem Nötigen, was man in der Küche braucht, begrüßt. Die Kommunikation lief bestens. WIr kommen sehr gerne wieder.

Erholung pur !
Wer eine Unterkunft sucht, bei der man wirklich abschalten kann, ist hier richtig. Abgelegen, oberhalb des Valdarno Tals mit einem wirklich tollen Blick in das Tal und Umgebung.
Für Ausflüge in die Hotspots der Toscana relativ zentral gelegen. Florenz, Chiantigebiet, Siena usw. mit dem Auto innerhalb von 60 Minuten erreichbar.
Wir waren im "Il Loggiato". Der Wohnung mit einer überdachten Terrasse, auf der man besonders die Abende toll ausklingen lassen kann und auch für sich ist.
Für 2 Personen ist die Wohnung perfekt. Das Gästesofa im Küchen/Wohnbereich ist als Schlafsofa allerdings nur für Personen bis Teenageralter empfehlenswert.
Die Ausstattung und Möblierung ist wie beschrieben. Die Küchenausstattung war für größere Kochaktivitäten eher begrenzt. Als Kaffeemaschine steht u.a. eine Nespresso zur Verfügung. Dafür benötigt man allerdings die passenden Kapseln.
Toll ist auch der Swimmingpool, der nur einige Meter entfernt vom Wohngebäude liegt. Der Pool ist sauber und ausreichend groß, auch zum Schwimmen (ich schätze 15-20 Meter). Ebenfalls stehen Liegen und Sonnenschirme zur Verfügung.
Sicher auch abhängig von den anderen Gästen, konnten wir oft den Pool nur für uns nutzen. Auch unser Hund konnte/durfte sich in dem Bereich aufhalten. Auch das ist sicher davon abhängig wie man seinen Hund hält und wie die anderen Gäste das sehen.
No Go ist den Hund ins Wasser zu lassen und ihn seine Geschäfte dort verrichten zu lassen !
Falls es uns wieder in die Region verschlägt, kommen wir sicher wieder.

Einfach und richtig schön entspannen
Wir hatten einen sehr schönen und erholsamen Aufenthalt. Die Lage ist perfekt, um die Region zwischen Florenz, Arezzo, Siena und dem Val d'Orcia zu erkunden,. Alles ist gut zu erreichen, gleichzeitig genießt man absolute Ruhe in Alleinlage und einen wunderschönen Blick vom 530m hohen Berg auf das Tal. Die Anlage ist wunderbar gepflegt und Gärtner Enzo ist superfreundlich und einfach klasse. Der Poolbereich ist sehr großzügig und selbst bei weniger gutem Wetter ein Anziehungspunkt. Wir hatten das freistehende Haus und haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt. Es ist einfach eingerichtet, die Dusche wechselte wie bei unseren Nachbarn gern zwischen heiß und kalt, aber es ist alles im Haus, was man braucht - und auf der eigenen Terrasse zu sitzen und beim Frühstück oder Abendessen das ganze Tal zu überblicken, das war einfach toll. Man sieht von dort sogar die einzigartige Felsformation "le balze", die da Vinci für den Hintergrund der Mona Lisa verwendet hat. Wer Glück hat trifft auf der Fahrt vom/zum Haus sogar Stachelschweine. Vielen Dank auch an Verwalter Simone für die guten Tipps zu wirklich schönen Dorffesten und sehr netten Winzern mit gutem Wein in der Umgebung! Wir empfehlen die Anlage gerne weiter, insbesondere für Urlauber, die keinen Trubel oder Luxus suchen, sondern schlicht und einfach Natur, Ruhe und die schöne Region genießen wollen.
