Location:

Perched between the Val d'Orcia and the Val di Chiana, amidst the gentle undulations of Tuscany, Casa Castano is a haven of tranquility, offering the perfect setting for a serene break and an opportunity to explore the unspoiled, natural beauty of the southern part of Tuscany. Here, you can immerse yourself in the countryside and the quaint villages that dot the landscape.
 
With a plethora of walking trails, bike paths, and horse riding opportunities in close proximity, Casa Castano is a gateway to outdoor adventure and a chance to bask in the Tuscan sunshine.
Just 2 km from the villa, San Casciano Dei Bagni is a charming town that beckons with its food shops, restaurants, and bars. It's the perfect place to savor an artisanal ice cream in the large square, while enjoying a breathtaking view of the surrounding countryside.
 
Also in San Casciano Dei Bagni are the various spas for which the area is renowned. You can visit the Fonteverde spa, an award-winning spa complex with various thermal pools and unique treatments. If you love natural places, a bath in the waters that flow freely under the town in the original Roman pools or going to Bagni San Filippo will be an opportunity for a nice trip in nature.

This area of Tuscany is famous for its scenic beauty; many places have been filmed or photographed for advertising, and you will have fun finding them again. Suppose you love wine and are in the company of Montepulciano and Montalcino with their cellars of fine wines, such as Vino Nobile of Montepulciano and Brunello di Montalcino. In that case, there will be places for excellent wine tours.

The villa's strategic position offers 360-degree itineraries: the Val d'Orcia with the beautiful Pienza and all the smaller UNESCO heritage villages, and the nearby Maremma with Pitigliano and Sorano are incredible towns that seem to be part of another time.

Cortona and Arezzo are nearby, and Siena is 80km away—you can't miss it.

The nearby Umbria offers Perugia, one hour from the villa, and Assisi shortly after.
Orvieto, a beautiful town and Lake Bolsena offer other opportunities for fantastic day trips.

Upon returning from your trip, the villa will welcome you with its sense of peace, and swimming in the pool surrounded by nature will be an unparalleled refreshment.
