Ein herrschaftliches Haus in schöner Lage! Sehr empfehlenswert!
Die Villa CASA NOVA mit Pool besticht durch ihren historisch anmutenden Charakter und liegt am Fuße eines wunderschönen Weingutes in Nähe Bucine/Montevarchi. Alle Zimmer des antiken Hauses sind liebevoll erhalten und haben jedes für sich eine ganz eigene persönliche Note. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und von Bucine aus das naheliegende Chianti Gebiet erkundet – für uns immer wieder ein Traum! Rita ist eine sehr freundliche und aufmerksame Vermieterin, sie wohnt auf dem Grundstück nebenan und hat uns mit ihren Erzählungen und vielen guten Tipps begeistert – ein liebenswerter Mensch. Sie ist stets um das Wohl ihrer Gäste bemüht. Wir können die Villa CASA NOVA auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen.

Wonderful Villa
We had a fantastic time staying at Villa Casanova. It is so beautiful there under the splendid oaks looking out over the beautiful Tuscan countryside we didn’t want to leave. Rita, our host was so warm, welcoming & charming and helped us with everything we needed to organise. The villa has a perfect location close to supermarkets and local restaurants and an easy train ride from Florence, while feeling so peaceful up in the hills. The villa itself was great for the kids as well, they loved playing table tennis & volley ball in the pool. There are lots of lovely walks too especially to the Tower Galatrona, from the top of which you can see the whole of Tuscany, just wonderful. Thank you Rita so much we had a truly beautiful holiday. Bryony and all the family.

Heavenly!
We visited during a July heat wave and had a fantastic time. Day trips to Siena, Florence, wineries with great local advice from our wonderful host Rita. Returning “home” to air conditioning and the wonderful pool was amazing. It was easy to cook meals at home or drive to local restaurants. Rita is a generous and attentive host, always checking to make sure we have enough towels for the pool, arranging a special visit to the Galatrona tower, sharing her spectacular family wine, and even taking in our laundry when it unexpectedly rained one afternoon while we were visiting Siena. We would love to return again to this magical place!

Wonderful rural property
Casanova is a perfect Tuscan farmhouse on a hill with gorgeous views and a lovely host. It is a classic Italian rural home but with a very efficient air conditioning which was an absolute godsend in the heat of 2022. Rita also kindly adapted one of the downstairs rooms for my daughter who uses a wheelchair. Thanks so much!!

Perfect Tuscan Vacation!
Just what you want for a Tuscan farmhouse vacation. Beautiful house, with rustic feel, but modern amenities. Air conditioning was really welcome because we were there during a heat wave. Rita is a great host and can give lots of recommendations. Highly recommended!

Dolce vita à Bucine
Rita est une personne délicieuse qui sait vous accueillir, en plus elle vous propose des activités comme par exemple les cours de cuisine avec Modesta. Allez-y c'est top ! En ce qui concerne la maison , elle est entre les vignes et les oliviers, à l'abri du bruit, proche du célèbre domaine viticole de Petrolo: un petit coin de paradis! C'est une maison différente des autres, avec beaucoup de charme et d'âme. De nombreuses photos familiales vous rappellent l'histoire de cette famille. Très bien pour les personnes en recherche d'authenticité. Nous, on a adoré ! Bon emplacement pour visiter Florence ( en train) Sienne, Pise et la région du Chianti.
