PODERE CASALONE is a very old farmhouse, recently restructured by our family with great care, in full respect of the typical Tuscan architectural style.
It is situated in one of the most fascinating areas in the Tuscan countryside.
The farm is located on a green hill called MONTALBANO, surrounded by olive groves, vineyeards and woods.
The farm PODERE CASALONE is ideal for those who like relax and contact with nature. You can walk in the woods or you can cycle if you prefer (we rent mountain bikes).
From the farm it is possibile to reach even by car the most important Tuscan cities: you can reach Florence in only 30 minutes by car, Pisa in only 40 minutes, Siena and San Gimignano in 50 minutes.
It is easy to reach even the famous thermal centre Montecatini Terme and many sea places (the Versilia is only 50 minutes by car).
