Tucked away on a 4,200 acre historic estate is Castello di Casole, a luxury Tuscany fractional interest opportunity. Set amongst olive orchards, vineyards and wild Tuscan land, this magnificent Timbers Italy property is comprised of a 41-room boutique hotel and 30 restored farmhouses, each with a private pool and available for whole or fractional ownership. There is nothing quite like this piece of Italy real estate, which you will see as soon as you drive up the cypress-lined driveway.

Owners and their guests enjoy a plethora of luxurious amenities and services at Castello di Casole, starting with estate produced wine, extra virgin olive oil and fresh flowers placed in your villa upon arrival. The staff stocks your refrigerator and pantry with local sundries and products, along with practical necessities. Daily housekeeping services and an attentive on-site concierge will attend to your every need and request. The various amenities offered at Castello make this property the best in Italian real estate.

The spa and wellness center offers the perfect reprieve after a day of sightseeing, hiking and wandering through Tuscan villages. Relax your muscles in the warm waters of the spa, enjoy a wonderful massage or aromatherapy treatment, and kick back at the pool with a glass of Chianti afterwards. Your senses will be delighted and you will leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. All of these wonderful services are located in the Castello hotel, just a short stroll away from your Tuscany, Italy villa.

For breakfast, lunch, dinner and a mid-day aperitif or coffee, there are several gathering spaces and dining options at your disposal on the Castello di Casole property, because afterall, food and wine are an integral part of the Tuscan lifestyle. The main restaurant mixes rustic and modern decor and influences, and can seat approximately 70 people in the interior space. Serving homemade pasta and meat mixed with fresh local produce from the hotel gardens, the food is always seasonal and delectable at these luxury villas in Tuscany. During the warmer months, outdoor cocktail and dining areas open out to overlook the hotel’s vineyard and the town of Casole D’Elsa.

At the other end of the spectrum is the on-site Pizzeria, complete with a wood burning oven, espresso bar and gelateria, for those casual and cozy family nights in Tuscany. This restaurant features exposed brick mixed with Italian antiques and is a perfect stop for a pizza, sandwich, coffee or homemade ice cream.

In addition to the formal restaurant and Pizzeria is the Castello bar, overlooking the dining terrace and pool. This gathering space has ample seating outside either under the covered loggia of the courtyard, or over the pool and dining terrace, featuring fabulous sunset views. With intricate Italian details in the decor, this bar is a unique and beautiful setting to enjoy cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. Lastly, room service is always available in your Tuscany fractional residence, and you can also arrange for a private chef to cook the feast of your dreams right in your villa.
