Casa del Fiume, Tuscany

Description

Rustic, characterful and restored to the highest of standards, Villa Casa del Fiume is a luxury villa in Tuscany that just goes the extra mile.

Sitting in lush, green valleys and looking out over a really magical part of the Tuscan countryside, the villa offers peace, quiet and a chance to soak up the atmosphere. But the estate within which it is hidden has everything you’d expect of a luxury hotel, so you’ll never need to lift a finger. The experienced staff seem to be invisible and yet are always on hand when needed.

The villa itself exudes quiet and calm. The cool, shady living room with rustic, beamed ceiling and Tuscan fireplace is a lovely spot to sit and cool down in the afternoon or gather together with board games and drinks when the occasional storm passes through the valley. A traditional Tuscan kitchen is well-equipped for either you or your private chef to prepare delicious meals or snacks, perhaps using fresh vegetables from the estate’s kitchen garden.

Outside are spacious living areas where you and your fellow guests can enjoy long, leisurely meals as the sun sets, or relax with a book after a morning in the private pool. A dedicated pool house, which also accommodates one of the bedrooms, means you can easily spend all day chilling out at the water’s edge, with everything you need close by.

There is also a private tennis court for those wishing to enjoy something a little more energetic.

The villa is less than 5km away from the ‘borgo’ of the Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco estate, with its restaurants, sauna, steam room and much more. Also, a short distance away is the estate’s winery, where tastings and tours can be arranged and this is a must do on anyone’s list!

Eating

Food, as is the case all over Italy, is one of the cornerstones of Villa Casa del Fiume.

An in villa chef service can be arranged to give you your own private chef and waiter so you can enjoy fabulous local cooking without leaving your villa. Your chef will be on hand to prepare everything from light lunches to five-course dinners and special occasion cooking. The service is completely flexible.

The estate on which the luxury villa is situated is home to two wonderful eating spots, Ristorante Campo de Drago, which serves traditional Tuscan cuisine alongside the estate’s own wines. The interiors are neutral and contemporary, and if you eat outside on the terrace you’ll enjoy a wonderful view of the hills and woodland below. Then there is the more casual trattoria, Osteria La Canonica, ideal for a light lunch or a pizza in the evening. Both benefit from ingredients picked from the estate’s own kitchen garden and a rustic, local menu.

There is also a delivery service to your villa if you prefer, which includes a kids’ menu.

If you want to take a flavour of your holiday home with you, you can even take part in cookery classes at the estate’s cookery school and learn how to make everything from Tuscan favourites to fresh pasta.
