About this property

Casa Chiesa: Charming Cottage on beautiful estate in Tuscany

'Casa Chiesa', named after the 17th century church that sits opposite, is close to many family-friendly activities, the art and culture of the Renaissance Tuscan cities, fabulous inexpensive restaurants, and the coast is only 25 miles away with miles of beaches. Casa Chiesa is on a large family estate dominated by the 15th century 'Villa Padronale'. You will love the space and charm of the newly renovated flat, its setting in the Tuscan countryside with stunning views, and its convenient location in the Maremma. On three sides it has lovely views, and close by is the semi-formal garden with wide sweeping views. The spacious and traditionally Tuscan cottage (in keeping with the rest of the estate) is ideal for couples, solo adventurers, and families. It makes a great summer base especially and is about 85sq 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 two cottages available for rentals on the estate are: 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, private cooking lessons and help with recommending what to do and see, etc.

Check In FROM 17.00-19.30, Check Out is BY 09.30 (am), unless agreed to prior. Please note there is a surcharge of €40 for late check-ins after 19.30 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.

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.

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

Perfetto
My family and I stayed at the apartments for 4 days. The accomodation was perfect for us and the host Luca and housekeeper Nicoletta made us feel very welcome. The grocery essentials provided was a nice touch and the apartment had everything we needed, including the comfortable beds. The swimming pool was a relaxing way to cool off at the end of a warm tuscan day. This property is stunningly beautiful and we would love to return someday.

Peaceful and authentic Tuscany
This property was beautifully clean and quite spacious for the two of us. We used it as a homebase to explore the area and we really like an authentic experience. The restaurants in the local town were excellent. The communication with the property owner was always very prompt and helpful.

Peaceful retreat
Casa Chiesa at Monteverdi was just the relaxing spot we needed with the history and charm we were looking for. Our apartment had all the comforts you would expect. The location was the perfect, driving distance between Rome and Florence. We wish we had stayed longer to learn more about the place. Luca and Nicoletta were attentive, taking very good care of us. Thank you! We will definitely return.

A beautiful and relaxing stay!
We spent our one week honeymoon at Casa Chiesa and we had the most perfect time there. The house with its outdoor area and the pool is ideal for relaxing in the sun and enjoying the Italian way of life. The communication with Luca and the housekeeper Nicoletta was so easy and they made sure to fulfill all of our wishes. The apartment was very clean and had everything that we needed. Especially the kitchen was really nice and we even got a couple gifts to try (fresh olive oil, milk, butter, bread and coffee). We absolutely had a wonderful time at this place and we recommend it 10/10!!!

Séjour dépaysant en campagne toscane
Très jolie propriété familiale située sur une colline avec vue sur la campagne. Grande piscine dans un cadre bucolique, jardin avec cyprès magnifiques, aménagements extérieurs pour déjeuner et prendre un verre. Luca, le propriétaire, très accueillant, nous a fait découvrir l’ensemble de sa propriété et l’histoire de sa famille, et nous a fait bénéficier de l’accès à sa plage privée sur la côte. Lit 2 places un peu dur. Nous avons passé 8 jours dépaysants et relaxants.

Beautiful Tuscan Villa and Setting
We stayed at Luca’s villa for eight days with our two teenage children. It was very relaxing and we had use of the pool throughout our stay, which was very welcome in the heat. Luca couldn’t have been more helpful with booking restaurants, information about places to visit, arranging wine tasting etc. The villa was very comfortable and clean with excellent housekeeping service and the setting in the hills was stunning. I would thoroughly recommend this villa for a stay in Tuscany.

Relaxing and Beautiful Stay in Tuscany
From arrival to departure this property is amazing. We were greeted warmly by the staff and given a tour of the property and even found the kitchen stocked with a few essentials for our stay. The apartment was beautiful, clean and spacious with incredible views of the surrounding area. The swimming pool which is just steps from the apartment was large, well maintained and we used it every day during our time there. Both the staff and Luca were very helpful in providing area recommendations and also helped schedule some wine tastings at near by vineyards. The location of the property makes it a short drive to just about everything in Tuscany which made day trips easy. Before we left we were already talking about when we could find time to come back next.

Traumhaft schön
Dieser Ort hat einen ganz besonderen Zauber. Wer Erholung, Ruhe, Entspannung und Abstand vom Alltag sucht ist hier genau richtig. Das gesamte Anwesen hat eine wunderschöne Lage mit einem Blick über die gesamte Umgebung. Luca und sein Team schaffen eine überaus freundliche und komfortable Atmosphäre, Luxus im ursprünglichsten Sinne. Die Zeit scheint still zu stehen und man kann hervorragend abschalten. Wenn man das Anwesen überhaupt verlassen möchte ( und man möchte eigentlich nicht) , dann gibt es natürlich zahlreiche Möglichkeiten wunderschöne toskanische Orte und Sehenswürdigkeiten zu besuchen, die zentrale Lage ermöglicht dies relativ unaufwendig (sowohl das Meer als auch berühmte Städte wie Siena) Wir bedanken uns sehr herzlich für diese wundervollen Tage und kommen bestimmt wieder!

About the host

Hosted by Luca

Host profile image
Luca Savelli is the owner of the large Tenuta di Monteverdi, a family estate bought in 1912 by his grandfather, who turned it from a backwater into a national model-estate for farming.

Based in London, Luca visits the estate on a monthly basis spending longer periods there in the summer, though otherwise works as an archaeologist, primarily in Ethiopia and Italy.

Why they chose this property

The property is newly renovated (2017) but very much in keeping with both the Renaissance era estate it is on, and also with the style and standard that people expect when staying in Tuscany: in addition, it has lovely views and is very quiet. While the 100m2 apartment is traditional, it was renovated in 2017 with all the comforts one would expect: fully fitted and equipped kitchen, sitting/dining areas, comfortable beds and bed linen, bathroom with shower, clean energy pellet stove, efficient hot water supply, Wifi, TV/DVD, secure etc.

The surrounding land, which is a large estate of historical interest with stunning views, is a working estate and has woodland, farmland, olive groves and vineyards, producing a variety of produce (including olive oil which we sell).

The location, in the middle of the Maremma, is exceptional, with easy access to many famous cities, including: Siena, Montalcino, Pienza, Montelpulciano, Arezzo, Florence, San Gimignano, Volterra, Chianti, and even Rome, while the miles of beaches are within easy short drives. Added to this are numerous activities: walks, riding, national parks, skiing (in winter), natural sulphur baths, golf, polo, tennis and much more, not to mention the fantastic and inexpensive cuisine!

What makes this property unique

The benefit of this property is so that it can be used as a very convenient base to explore Tuscany, its coast, culture and cuisine. We believe that the prices are good value in compared to the competition, and we also have many years experience in rentals on our family estate. Lastly, we have a large staff on the estate and so we can make your visit enjoyable as possible. Upon booking, we offer a booklet with advice and information.
