About this property

Casa Civetta: Charming Cottage on beautiful estate in Tuscany

'Casa Civetta' is close to many family-friendly activities, the art and culture of the Tuscan cities, fabulous inexpensive restaurants, and a coast that is only 30 minutes away with miles of beaches. Casa Civetta is on a large family estate dominated by the 15th century 'Villa Padronale', yet in a completely private setting with no immediate neighbours. You will love the charm of the cottage, its setting in the Tuscan countryside with stunning views, and its convenient location in the Maremma. The property has a pretty garden, is surrounded by olive groves, wide open spaces and views and is a two minute walk from a swimming pool in the main villa garden. The newly renovated cottage is ideal for couples, solo adventurers. It makes a great summer base especially, but is rentable all year round and has air-conditioning. The apartment is about 55sq metres.

We have many years experience in renting out our family properties. On the estate we have rented out our 6 bedroom luxury villa through the high end London agency CV Villas for nearly 3 decades. We have decided to continue this trend and have recently continued to renovate our other properties. Another three cottage-apartments available for rentals on the estate are: a 2 bedroom cottage called Casa Chiesa (8369630), a 2 bedroom cottage called Casa Cavalli (6715725) and a 2 bedroom cottage called Casa Amiata (6722787).

We have a large staff on the estate who have experience in hospitality, and we can help organise some extra services/activities: station & airport pick-ups and drop-offs, and help with recommending what to do and see.

The swimming pool belongs to the main villa and used by the agritourism - it is a private communal pool that is only shared amongst guests staying at Monteverdi. Please note that the pool is 11mx5m and has a max depth of 2.20m: there is NO lifeguard at the pool, and while the pool is fenced in, parents or guardians are responsible for keeping unattended children out, and to keep the gate locked. Guests will need to sign a responsibility/liability waiver form before use. Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied and supervised at all times.
The consumption of alcohol is strictly forbidden at the pool.
The pool opening times are 8am – 6pm everyday.
The pool is opened for the summer season from the middle of June until the middle of
September – the pool is not open to guests outside of this time unless agreed to with the owners.

Check In FROM 17.00-1930, Check Out is BY 09.30 (am), unless agreed to prior. Please note there is a surcharge of €40 for late check-ins after 1930 as if out of work hours someone will have to be called in. Late check-ins can also be very inconvenient so to be avoided if possible.

In the local village, Paganico, there are banks, bars, a chemist, restaurants, a small train station, shops and tennis courts.

DUE TO THE NARROW ROADS, CARAVANS AND CAMPERS ARE NOT PERMITTED ON THE PROPERTY EVEN IF YOU HAVE RENTED A PROPERTY

Perfect!
Our stay at Casa Civetta was truly perfect! The owner Luca and the housekeeper Nicoletta were the nicest people, giving us so many helpful tips for restaurants and helping us organize several trips. Besides that, Casa Civetta and the whole property are super pretty, well equipped and clean. I can just highly recommend it and hope to come back one day!

Wunderschönes kleines Haus
Das gesamte Anwesen und das kleine Haus liegen sehr ruhig und von den anderen Gästen hat man sehr wenig mitbekommen. Luca und Nicoletta haben uns ganz toll umsorgt und waren immer erreichbar. Leider hatten wir ein kleines Ameisenproblem, was wir aber mit Hausmitteln einschränken konnten. Ein größeres Problem waren für uns aber die zwei großen Huckel im Kiesweg zum Anwesen. Hier hätten wir definitiv vorher die Info gebraucht, dass ein Auto dafür geeignet sein muss. Leider haben wir so immer aufgesetzt und die Kunststoffverkleidung unter dem Auto beschädigt. Dass Luca und Nicoletta uns dabei nicht weiterhelfen konnten, war natürlich klar. Eine Info vorab wäre aber hilfreich gewesen. Ansonsten waren wir aber sehr sehr zufrieden mit allem und würden bestimmt irgendwann gerne wiederkommen - mit einem anderen Auto :)

Absolut perfekt
Unbeschreiblich, die Lage, das niedliche Haus, die Toskana, alles wie wir es uns vorgestellt haben. Die Lage ist recht abgeschieden, es sind ca 1,7km über einen Holperweg bis zum Haus, aber dort hat man dann auch Ruhe und Entspannung. Das Haus besitzt eine voll ausgestattete Küche, es gibt eine Klimaanlage, schönes Badezimmer und nur italienisches Fernsehen und kein wlan. Also alles, was man zum entspannen zu zweit braucht. Wir sind in knapp 14Tagen ca 2.000km gefahren, jeden Tag eine andere Sehenswürdigkeit in der Toskana besichtigt, die Entfernungen lassen sich nicht wegreden, aber trotzdem war jeder Tag wundervoll.

Parfait !
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans ce charmant cottage, très bien rénové, avec une magnifique vue en prime. Il est idéalement situé pour visiter Sienne et les jolis villages du Val d’Orcia. Nous avons testé plusieurs restaurants cités dans le carnet d'accueil du gîte et ils étaient tous excellents. L'accueil était parfait! Merci à Luca et Nicoletta qui sont vraiment à l'écoute et aux petits soins pour les vacanciers. C’est une adresse à recommander.

Traumhafte Tage
Wir haben vier wundervolle Tage im kleinen Häuschen mit dem traumhaften Blick erlebt. Es ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und es fehlt einem an nichts! Die Küche ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man benötigt. Besonders toll war, dass wir mit frischer Brot, Eiern, Milch,… überrascht wurden. Der Empfang war sehr herzlich! Das komplette Anwesen, inklusive Pool, ist sehr gepflegt und die Aussicht rundum sowie die Ruhe unbeschreiblich. Wir würden so gerne noch einmal wiederkommen! Vielen Dank an Luca und sein Team.

Wonderful Place
Wir hatten wunderschöne Tage im schönen, ruhig gelegenen Cottage. Die gesamte Anlage liegt auf einem Berg. Schon die Anfahrt ist ein Genuss für die Augen. Das Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet und wir wurden herzlich empfangen und mit liebevoll zusammengestellter Erstausstattung ( Olivenöl, Brot und Kaffee, etc) umsorgt. Besonders nett fanden wir die persönlichen Empfehlungen ( Restaurants, Weinprobe) des Gastgebers, die auch gleichzeitig seitens des Personals organisiert wurden. Vielen Dank für die tolle Zeit!

Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit
Das kleine Ferienhaus ist perfekt für 2 Personen, die Ruhe und Erholung suchen. Man fährt einen ca. 1,5 km langen Schotterweg hinauf auf ein wunderschönes Anwesen. Das Haus liegt etwas abseits und man hat daher wirklich seine Ruhe. Der Pool ist "um die Ecke" und er ist wunderschön. Wir waren fast die ganze Zeit alleine am Pool. Das Haus ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet und man hat alles da, was man zum Leben braucht. Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit und kommen sehr gerne wieder. Wir wurden herzlich von Nicoletta und Luca begrüßt und verabschiedet!

Idyllic cottage in a beautiful place
This place is magical if you are looking for a quiet stay in a beautiful newly renovated cottage with amazing views of the hills of Tuscany. We felt very welcomed by both Nicoletta and Luca, who were very kind and always helpful. The cottage has all equipment needed and is a perfect place for two. Thank you for your hospitality and for a wonderful stay!

Perfect place for relaxed stay
Everything about our stay was excellent from the welcome by Nicoletta to the frequent information and checks by Luca, the host, that all was OK. The cottage is newly renovated tastefully and situated in a private corner of the estate with great views. It has a small kitchen area equipped for self-catering for two. I would definitely recommend this attractive accommodation to anyone who appreciates a quiet stay in the countryside.

Un cadre idéal !
Nous cherchions un logement dans une ferme agritourisme, un peu perdue dans la campagne pour aussi pouvoir profiter du ciel étoilé la nuit, tout en étant à proximité relative de la côte et de Sienne ainsi que les proncipales villes du Val d'Orcia. Nous n'avons pas été déçus. En fait, le logement nous a semblé même mieux que ce à quoi nous nous attendions. L'accueil fait par Nicoletta dans un premier temps, puis Luca ensuite, a été fantastique. Nous espérons pouvoir revenir ici pour de prochaines vacances, notre sejour ici a été memorable en tout points !

Haus für Zwei in traumhafter Lage
Das freistehende Haus liegt am Rande des Landgutes auf etwa 200 Meter Höhe, also sozusagen 'on top of the hill' und ist umgeben von Olivenhainen und Wäldern. Man hat eine rundum phantastische Aussicht auf die toskanische Landschaft samt dem Monte Amiata! Abends und nachts kann man Eulen und Zikaden lauschen und ansonsten absolute Stille genießen. Das Haus ist ein typisch toskanischen Haus und passt genau in die Gegend: Aus Stein, Ton und Holz erbaut fügt es sich perfekt in die Landschaft ein. Die Ausstattung ist sehr geschmackvoll, der Herd mit Backofen, der große Kühlschrank und die Spüle sind hochwertig. Es ist reichlich Platz für zwei Personen vorhanden. Ein Verbesserungsvorschlag zur sehr schönen, aber teilweise etwas unpraktischen Möblierung sei erlaubt: Möglichkeiten Kleidung aufzuhängen wären wünschenswert. Ach ja: Der Pool samt Umgebung ist einfach toll, sehr einladend und gepflegt. Und auch hier hat man einen traumhaften Blick in die Landschaft! Schließlich noch ein Wort zum Vermieter Luca und seinem Personal: Sie waren sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und stets erreichbar. Danke an euch alle! Wir haben uns bei euch sehr wohl gefühlt.

Tuscan Bliss
We loved staying at the property. The views and sunsets were spectacular and the cottage is so clean and well laid out. We would advise that there is a long unpaved road to the property and that there is no WiFi. These facts did not effect our enjoyment or rating but are things which are worth traveler’s consideration. Overall thank you Luca and the ever helpful Nicoletta, our stay with you was amazing.
