Here’s Where You’ll Stay: San Casciano Val di Pesa

Why we love this villa: Its charm, its history, its proximity to Florence, the ability to walk into town, the staff, the expansive areas to gather, the food, the on-site winery, the comfortable beds, and of course, the amazing views! This beautifully restored 400-year-old farmhouse comes with a private swimming pool and stocked with Principe Corsini wine. Some mornings you may even catch a glimpse of the hot air balloons in flight!

An outdoor patio with wicker furniture where three people are sitting and talking. The patio has a stone wall, a small chimney or oven on the left, and is shaded by a wooden pergola. There are tall cypress trees and rolling hills in the background.

This villa is a show-stopper with it’s unbelievable location on the Villa Le Corti Estate, owned and still resided by the historical and esteemed Corsini family. When you stay here you are immersed within the olive groves and vineyards of Principe Corsini. Their wine and olive oil are delicious and plentiful within the villa. With the estate so close, it’s only a short walk down the driveway to enjoy the fine dining at their Osteria, partake in a winery tour and tasting or get your hands messy in the chef-led cooking class.

Note: Due to the old, historic nature of the villa, it contains many sets of uneven stairs. Guests must be comfortable walking up and down uneven stairs and carrying their own luggage to their rooms.
