Description
Property Summary
Casale Fienile is a beautifully restored Tuscan country house nestled within the exclusive organic farm estate of "La Mandriola," situated on the outskirts of the charming borgo of Lajatico, in the heart of Tuscany, Italy. Born from the careful renovation of an ancient ruin once used as a barn, this exceptional vacation rental retains all the character of its origins through its distinctive stone-clad exterior and warm, rustic interior, while offering every modern comfort expected of a refined countryside retreat. Covering a total area of approximately 170 square metres across 2 floors, the property is enveloped by a lush private yard of around 1,000 square metres, thoughtfully landscaped with manicured lawns and framed by olive trees, cypresses, and pines that create a serene and picturesque setting. Guests benefit from a dedicated parking area conveniently located near the house, accessible via a private driveway from the entrance gate, as well as high-speed Internet Wi-Fi connectivity throughout the property, ensuring a seamless stay whether for leisure or remote working. The estate of "La Mandriola" spans 400 hectares cultivated using a strictly biological and biodynamic approach, entirely free from chemical products such as herbicides, desiccants, or pesticides, making it a truly unique and environmentally conscious destination in one of the most captivating corners of Tuscany.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Casale Fienile are as thoughtfully designed as the interior, offering a harmonious blend of relaxation, dining, and natural beauty. In front of the main entrance, 2 covered porches are equipped with tables and chairs, providing ideal settings for leisurely alfresco dining or simply unwinding while taking in the surrounding countryside. The private yard, extending to approximately 1,000 square metres and delimited by a hedge screen that ensures complete privacy from the adjacent property, is a tranquil haven of manicured lawns interspersed with olive trees, cypresses, and pines lining the garden paths.
The non-heated swimming pool is a true centrepiece of the outdoor experience, open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October. Facing south and positioned on a private terrace approximately 30 metres from the house, it is reached via a short flight of steps and enjoys unobstructed views of the rolling Tuscan countryside, as it is bounded by a low hedge screen that preserves the panorama rather than concealing it. The rectangular pool measures 4x8 metres with a constant depth of 1.10 metres, features Roman steps for water access, and is lined in clear PVC with a stone-paved border and chlorine purification. Surrounding the pool in the lawn area, a gazebo and a stone structure housing a barbecue create a perfect setting for poolside meals and social gatherings. Adjacent to this, a raised platform with synthetic turf offers an ideal sunbathing area from which to savour the sweeping landscape that extends in every direction across the Pisan hills.
Unit Layout
Casale Fienile is configured to comfortably accommodate up to 8 guests across 4 generously proportioned bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom, for a total of 4 bathrooms throughout the property. The house is arranged over 2 floors, with the ground floor serving as the social heart of the home.

Each of these rooms is served by a private bathroom, one equipped with a bathtub and the other with a shower. Air conditioning is available in all bedrooms, ensuring comfort throughout the warmer months of the year.
Amenities Included
Casale Fienile is equipped with a comprehensive range of amenities designed to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay for all guests. The property features air conditioning in the bedrooms, providing a cool and pleasant environment during the summer months, while heating is also available for cooler periods, making the house a welcoming retreat throughout the seasons. A private patio offers an additional outdoor space for relaxation and al fresco enjoyment in complete privacy.
In the kitchen, a dishwasher is available to simplify meal clean-up, and the laundry room is fitted with a washing machine for added convenience during longer stays.

Property Summary
Nestled in the serene Val di Chiana between Siena and Arezzo, Albachiara is an exceptional vacation rental that places you just minutes from the enchanting hilltop town of Cortona, one of the oldest Etruscan settlements in Tuscany, rising 600 metres above sea level in the heart of Italy. This beautifully restored stone farmhouse, originally a farm shed belonging to the adjacent Leopoldine villa, has been completely renovated with meticulous attention to conservation and the careful salvage of all original materials. The result is a refined and welcoming country house where natural tones echo the colours of the surrounding earth, and simply yet elegantly furnished rooms create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The property sits on approximately 1 hectare of fully fenced grounds, offering guests complete privacy amid fields of sunflowers and sweeping views over Cortona. A lush, well-tended garden frames the outdoor living areas, while a non-heated swimming pool provides a refreshing centrepiece to the estate during the warmer months.

The grounds of Albachiara are a celebration of the Tuscan countryside at its most generous and picturesque. The entire property is enclosed within a double border of leylandii hedging along the full perimeter, and from the entrance gate, a driveway lined with cypress trees and bushes of lavender and rosemary leads gracefully to the parking area and into the heart of the park. A large grassy expanse houses a rich and varied orchard featuring plums, cherries, peaches, and grapevines, while holm oaks, lime and lemon trees alternate with aromatic herb bushes and climbing roses throughout the garden. On one side of the house, embellished with camellias, rhododendrons, and hydrangeas, a wooden gazebo has been set up as a comfortable sitting area with a table and chairs. Close by, directly in front of the dining room French window, a wood oven and mobile barbecue invite al fresco cooking and leisurely outdoor dining. At the centre of the garden, framed by 2 majestic weeping willows edged with white roses, a large wooden portico structure draped in porcelain vine and furnished with a table and benches provides the ideal shaded outdoor living area. A wooden structure beneath the portico, accessible from the outside, houses the laundry room. The non-heated swimming pool, reserved exclusively for the use of guests, is open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October. Located in a central area of the park approximately 40 metres from the house and reached by 4 stone steps, the rectangular pool features a stone border, PVC lining, and Roman steps for water access.

Lighting is provided both inside the pool and throughout the surrounding grounds.
