beautiful tuscan villa with pool, ideal for groups

Casa Casale is idyllic for relaxing and enjoying the mountains in the southern part of Tuscany. A traditional Tuscan house, located in a peaceful area at 700 m above sea level with 25 hectares of land extending to the valley. Impeccable location for families and small groups as it offers a lot of space and options for all needs: enjoying each others’ company, sports and games, and for relaxation lay back and forget the world. The hiking paths start as you step out of the door, near to Cortona leading to many cities of artistic, cultural and historic interest in southern Tuscany and Umbria. These are also easily accessible by car.

Facing the eastern side of the lake there is a large flat square, with great views of the countryside and the mountains,
A covered garage for 3 cars, a table tennis table shaded by a 60 sq.m pergola with wisteria where you can sit and dine comfortably even in the warm midsummer climate.
The southern side has a paved 80 sq.m terrace with a table, sun loungers and an almond tree that gives shade, where there is a sun kissed dining area, sheltered in the autumn and springtime. In the garden there are a few terraces with chairs and sun loungers.
The pool (9 x 4.5 m), with solarium, features sun loungers, parasols and shower, as well as two charming terraces which you can stumble across as you take a step down from the house with picturesque views, infused with the scents of lavender, thyme and rosemary. Poolside there are swings for children and a large grassy area with a volleyball net and the old horse riding school nearby, ideal for any type of ball game imaginable. Garden, terraces, pergolas and swimming pool are at your disposal.
The house was completely renovated at the turn of the century, with typical ceilings with wooden beams, terracotta floors and Tuscan country house chimneys, but it also offers contemporary and modern facilities. This house has been in the Attwood family for over 25 years and has a lot of old photos, books and furniture that create a unique atmosphere; warm and comfortable.
From the Piazza, you step through the main door towards the cloakroom and the stone staircase to get to the first floor. Here you will find a warm trattoria-style kitchen with an antique marble table where the 'mammas' rolled out the sheets of pasta; in addition there is a fully fitted kitchen. Whilst waiting for your meal, you can have a glass of wine next to the chimney, or surf the internet from the desk in front of the windows. Through the cloakroom there is direct access to two bedrooms (both with double beds made with Tuscan steel, and one with an extra sofa bed) and a bathroom with WC and bidet. A small bedroom with two single beds can be found along the corridor that leads to the second floor.

On the second floor there are two more bedrooms, a bathroom and a living room (45 sq.m) where you can make a fire and relax on one of the sofas, watch TV or a DVD after doing sporting activities or cultural excursions. Or indeed you can take a pew at the chestnut table and play board or card games.

In the old stables and storeroom on the lower floors there is the separate lodging for the housekeepers with a private entrance and garden at the rear of the house. The couple who manage the property maintain the pool, the garden and the property and are always ready to help out and full of all sorts of useful information. You will be able to enjoy the delicious Tuscan specialities and the products from the garden. Cleaning is charged separately.

The house belongs to John and Sabine who have spent alot of time here with their son Robby, although they live in Munich. John, who grew up in Kenya, trained in England, where he worked in many places as a builder and carpenter and he has renovated our house with a lot of love and attention. Since we retired we have taken charge of running and renting out the house.

Sublime Villa in Tuscany
If you are looking for a perfect Villa in Tuscany, this is it. Set in a magical hillside location, the view from the pool is a magnificent panorama of the Tuscan countryside. The house itself easily has four large double bedrooms and one twin. It's ideal for groups - there's space for large social gatherings as well as different areas to provide privacy for separate groups. We can't wait to go back one day!

Paradies in den Bergen
Unglaublich schöne Unterkunft mit tollem Haus, Pool, Weitblick und sehr sehr viel Platz. Der Garten ist großartig mit Salbei, Lavendel und Rosmarinfeldern. Die Gastgeber sind sehr herzlich und hilfsbereit. Sie haben uns mit frischen Salat, Gurken, Bohnen und Mangold aus dem eigenen Garten versorgt. Der Pool ist ein Traum! Absolut zu empfehlen für Familie, größere Gruppe auch mit Kinder!!!

Magical location
A wonderful property, submerged in beautiful natural surroundings, the flora and fauna were fantastic. Our whole family were delighted by the swifts, starlings and kestrels nesting at the property, my parents described the place as simply magical. Wonderful location for my Father's 80th birthday celebrations, John and Sabine are welcoming and warm hosts. We all felt very relaxed in this comfortable, spacious home. The outside is as well equipped as inside with lots of seating and a great pool to enjoy. To awake each morning to the view of the woodland and sounds of nature and breath deep, wonderful. A huge thank you to our lovely hosts.

Fantastisk hus og beliggenhed .
Vi var 4 voksne og 4 børn og vi har haft en super skøn ferie. Ejerne af huset tog i mod og var meget behjælpelige. Hbos jeg skal nævne noget som ikke skal have 5 stjerner. Lidt hårde senge . Men ellers var alt perfekt og sikke en udsigt Vi kommer gerne igen. ( lige en blødere seng😊)

Fantastic house away from it all.
We were 2 families (4 adults, 5 children) and we really enjoyed our stay at this fantastic villa for a week. Both the inside and the outside of the villa is decorated with respect to the house and the surroundings. The view of the valley is fantastic. We would gladly, with out any reservations, recommend the house to anyone and we would be happy to come back again.

PRECIOSA CASA EN LA TOSCANA
Hemos pasado unos días muy bonitos en familia en Palazzo Casale. Los dueños muy amables y pendientes de que no nos faltara de nada. Todo muy bien cuidado, y la piscina digna de disfrutarla. Desgraciadamente el tiempo se nos hizo corto...teníamos que habernos quedado más días. Lo único que se nos hacía duro, era el camino a casa. Muchas curvas... Gracias por todo, esperamos volver!

Prachtig huis in zeer rustige omgeving
Een prachtig oud huis met heel veel ruimte, zowel binnen als buiten. Het huis heeft 5 grote slaapkamers met veel kastruimte. Een grote keuken met afwasmachine. Twee grote badkamers, 1 met bad en toilet en 1 met douche en toilet. In het aparte washok (met wasmachine en strijkplank) is nog een apart toilet. Buiten heeft het huis vele plekken waar je heerlijk kunt zitten/liggen. Bv in de 2 hangmatten of in de mooie schommelstoel. Ook bij het zwembad staan lekkere ligbedden. Het huis staat midden tussen de heuvels.

Erg mooi rustige Toscaanse vakantiewoning
Wij hebben met de ganse familie (wij, onze 3 gehuwde kinderen en 4 kleinkinderen 10jr, 7jr, 5mndn en 2 mndn) een schitterende 14-daagse vakantie gehad in deze prachtige woning. Palazzo Casale ligt 10 km boven Cortona, een flinke klim maar de moeite waard met onderweg een prachtig zicht op het Trasimeense Meer. Het uitzicht is prachtig en de ligging staat garant voor een rustige vakantie. Je wordt door de eigenaars hartelijk ontvangen en de woning is perfect proper en van alles voorzien. Er is eetgelegenheid op het overdekt of het pergola-terras, binnen in de gezellige eetkeuken (1ste verdieping) en boven (2de verdieping) in de prachtige living. Geregeld werden wij door Sabine en John verwend met verse groenten en kruiden uit de tuin. Het volleybalveld, de grote tuin en het zwembad maken het vakantieverblijf compleet. Er is in de woning heel wat informatie aanwezig voor uitstappen. Voor wie in het anders toch wel drukke Toscane, een rustig oord zoekt is Palazzo Casale een echte aanrader. Peter en Cecile

Familienurlaub in einem stilvollen Landhaus
Wir haben zwei Wochen in diesem Landhaus mit unserer Familie (8 Erwachsene, 2 Kinder und 2 Babys) gelebt. Das Haus ist sehr geräumig mit einem sehr schönen Wohnzimmer für etwas kühlere Abende. Auch die Terrassen, unter der Pergola oder unter freiem Himmel, sind sehr geräumig und bieten einen herrlichen Blick auf die Landschaft. Der Garten ist ebenso sehr schön auf dem Hang gelegen und bietet genügend Platz für Rückzugsmöglichkeiten (z.B. in der Hängematte). Für Abkühlung sorgt der Pool und im Liegestuhl duftet es nach Lavendel, der gleich nebenan üppig wächst. Kurz gesagt: alles ist vorhanden um einen wundervollen Urlaub zu erleben!

A beautiful property in an amazing setting.
We had a fabulous time in our 3 weeks at Casale Palazzo. We were travelling through Italy with a 4 year old, 2 year old and 6 month old and had arranged for two separate groups of friends to come and visit us while we were there. At the most we had two other adults with a 12 year old, 10 year old and an 8 year old. The first thing to say is that the house has an incredible view…mountains, greenery, and barely another house in sight. The house is a beautiful old villa that has been lovingly restored over decades by the owners, John and Sabine, who are on hand to offer advice on things to do, and- in our case- kindly had our children get involved in helping with planting the veggie garden and tractor rides!! The house is fully equipped with everything we could think of (and easily sleeps two families with lots of space), and the grounds are fantastic- a lovely big sun terrace, an expansive front garden, an area with hammocks, a huge grassy paddock (once a menagerie) now equipped with a volleyball/football/badminton net, a lovely pool with plenty of sun loungers…and views that are extraordinary in every light. The house is 10 km up a mountain road, but the drive is easy, and the location well worth it. It is close to Cortona, a beautiful walled town (setting for Under Tuscan Sun film), and trips to Montepulciano, Sienna, Florence, Rome, the hot pools at Rappolano Terme, and lots of other places are all within distance…and if we could handle it with three small children in the car, it should be fine for you!! It is a true destination property. We were very sad to leave!

A great Spring stay in a wonderful Tuscan house
I have just had a great stay at Palazzo Casale near Cortona and I only have good things to say. The house is light, spacious, peaceful, tastefully furnished in a comfortable rustic style and has everything you need for a relaxing stay...terraces, garden, pool, walks, magical views, fully equipped facilities in the house and enough room for up to 10 to twelve people comfortably. The house is well-maintained and clean but as the owners live on site in a separate apartment, it has the feel of a home...past photos of the house, well-thumbed books...... The house is about 15 minutes from Cortona by car but there is a great pizza restaurant on the way. There are many walks nearby and the house is well situated for both a lazy quiet stay but near enough to Cortona to go for dinner, shopping, spend a morning etc If you are lucky enough to coincide with the owners they can be as discreet or as helpful as you need them to be......The house is organised in such a way that if they are there sometimes it is only obvious because you can see their car! They are a great source of information, kind and approachable! Spring is a great time to stay as weather is beautiful and good enough to eat outside sometimes, the trees are starting to blossom and there are fewer people around....Magical hearing the cuckoos in the morning..... The house also has great Internet in case you have to keep in touch with work as I did..... To sum up, I would have absolutely no doubts recommending this house for a family stay or for a large group of friends....at any time of the year.

Eine tolle Zeit im Casa Casale
Wir waren eine Gruppe von 10 Leuten im Alter von 23- 29 Jahren. Wir haben für den ersten Abend das toskanische Abendessen gebucht und waren absolut begeistert davon! Nach dem Essen konnten wir John und Sabine kennen lernen und uns die ersten Tipps für den Urlaub geben lassen. Das Haus ist sehr grosszügig, sauber und toll ausgestattet, so dass es an nichts fehlt. Die Außenlagen sind sehr gut und liebevoll gepflegt und bieten genügend Raum um die Ruhe auch in einer grossen Gruppe zu geniessen. Es war ein toller Urlaub in einem tollen Haus mit sehr netten und hilfsbereiten Vermietern, den wir jederzeit immer wieder machen würden und wärmstens empfehlen können!

Perfekte Oase für Freiheitsliebende und Kreative
Das goßzügige und in jedem Zimmer wunderbar individuell gestaltete tradidionelle Ferienhaus liegt in traumhafter Hügellage Nähe Cortona. Das Grün der Vergetation rund um, der wilde weitläufige Garten, der in die Bewaldungen übergeht, ein paar Strassenkurve weiter der Blick hinunter in die toskanische Ebene und auf den trasimenischen See, all das alleine ist schon ein Fest für das Auge und die Seele. Ein Frühstück unter dem wilden Wein lässt den Tag gemütlich beginnen und gibt Raum für die Abstimmung der verschiedensten Interessenslagen der Urlauber: Wir haben zum Beispiel eine der umgebenden Städte,Perugia, sowie das auf der Stecke nach Cortona verwunschen daliegende Kapuziner-Kloster besucht, man kann Wandern, Mountainbiken, am Pool (was für ein Luxus!) mit einem guten Buch entspannen und in den Himmel träumen, danach der nahe gelegenen Trattoria mit sensationellem Ausblick einen Besuch abstatten....Die Besitzer des Hauses beraten mit der Leidenschaft von Lebensgenießern bezüglich kultureller und lukullischer events (es gibt sehr lohnende saisonale Ereignisse im Umland). Nach einer vielleicht längeren Anreise gibt es übrigens auch den besonderen Service sich mit einem original italienischen Wellcome-Essen verwöhnen zu lassen, ansonsten kann man sich in seinem Haustrakt völlig ungestört selbst versorgen - alles ist für Familien, einen Freundeskreis oder auch kleine Gruppen ideal ausgerichtet, die Terassen laden zu "Freiluft-Meetings", gemeinsamen Essensvorbereitungen und ausgedehnten Tischgenüssen ein, können mit Nischen und Ecken (unter dem Nussbaum ist ein wunderschönes Plätzchen !) aber auch zum Schmöckern und Dösen verführen. Das unter gewaltigen Balken bei schlechterem Wetterauch mit Kaminfeuer gewärmte und wirklich großräumig in langen Jahren von John ausgebaute Wohnzimmer hat uns sehr beeindruckt! Draußen vor den Fenstern saußen mit erstaunlicher Geschwindigkeit die Mauersegler ums Eck, es pfeift geradezu! Wir waren rundum glücklich und das Wiederkommen ist keine Frage!
