Tuscan villa, luxury, comfort & quiet, Sleeps 15

Description from the owner

Casale Camparone is a unique farmhouse the can host 12 to 15 people in absolute luxury and comfort. The villa sits amidst a manicured wine estate of 2500 acres of vineyards, olive groves and woods, about 20 km from Siena.

This property guarantees privacy while at the same time provides the most magical setting for a Tuscan vacation, as the estate that surrounds it, known as the Tenuta di Arceno, preserves a historical, architectural and natural environment that goes back more than four thousand years to the Etruscan times. In order to arrive to Casale Camparone, one has to drive up through a 200 year old cypress lane one kilometer long..., which makes for a grand drive towards a grand villa!

Casale Camparone exists since the XV century and is recognized by the Italian Office for the Protection of the Cultural Patrimony (the Sosprintedenza ai Beni Culturali) as a historical property whose architecture and beauty must be protected; for this reason when the villa was restructured 10 years ago there was extreme care and attention for details paired with the will to maintain tradition. The exterior still remains the same as during the renaissance period when it was first built while the interior has all the modern comforts that luxury can provide.

The property is a fully fenced with a beautiful garden with many different outside living areas, with pool, vegetable garden and surrounded with breathtaking views.
