Full Description


Restored property spanning 16 hectares/41 acres with certified olive grove, woodland, panoramic views and photovoltaic system, minutes from La Verna Sanctuary. Set among ancient parish churches, medieval castles and the Casentino National Park, this charming hilltop location at 450 metres/1,476 ft sits between Arezzo and Florence, just a few minutes from the Sanctuary of La Verna and the Monastery of Camaldoli. Easily accessed via a private driveway, Casale La Verna is an elegant 19th-century villa in traditional rustic style, accompanied by three additional farmhouses — all beautifully restored for guests and staff. They feature classic stone façades, terracotta roof tiles, porticoes, garden terraces for al fresco dining, brick archways, wooden window frames and exposed beam ceilings, faithfully reflecting the authenticity of 19th-century Tuscan estates. All rooms are equipped with air conditioning, heating via both a thermo-fireplace and pellet boiler, and, more recently, a newly installed photovoltaic system with state-of-the-art solar panels. The main villa offers a spacious living area on the ground floor with reception rooms featuring brick arches and fireplaces, a portico, and four bedrooms with parquet flooring, including a particularly unique room in the tower, with eight small windows, a Jacuzzi bath and a private terrace. The guest farmhouses are set slightly apart from the main villa and contain various types of apartments with one or two bedrooms, as well as a 130 sq m/1,399 sq ft party hall with fireplace and open views of the garden and pool. The extensive landscaped grounds feature lawns, pathways bordered by Mediterranean flowerbeds and mature trees. They frame the buildings and include the swimming pool, technical rooms, and access to three garages, storage rooms and a cellar. The olive grove, orchard and vegetable garden are certified organic, cultivated in harmony with nature and following the most traditional Tuscan farming methods. Move-in ready and set within a private, fully fenced area with an automatic gate, this property is perfect for family living and entertaining, as well as for agritourism activities.
