Oase der Ruhe

I Casali ist ein sehr schönes rustikales Haus mit 3 Wohnungen. Zwei sind vermietet, die dritte wohl zeitweise vom Besitzer genutzt. Das Haus liegt sehr ruhig, nur ein kleiner Weg führt vorbei. Bis zum nächsten Ort fährt man mit dem Auto über kleine, kurvenreiche Straßen gut 20 Minuten. Dort gibt es dann zwei kleine Supermärkte (Wir haben alles was Sie brauchen, was wir nicht haben, brauchen Sie nicht...) , Bäcker, Fleischer, Bar, Tankstelle... Einfach mal auf eine Pizza losgehen ist also nicht. Dafür ist die Küche komplett ausgestattet und auf den Märkten gibt es natürlich alles was man sich vorstellen kann. Uns hat das sehr gut gefallen. Es gibt einen gemeinsamen Grillplatz für beide Apartments, jede Menge Sitz und Liegeplätze unter Bäumen, in der Sonne, um den Pool. Jetzt wird es abends auf dem Berg dann schon kühl, wenn der Wind aufkommt noch schneller. Am Tage, in der Sonne, mit dem weiten Ausblick in die Berge ist es fantastisch. Conny und Ihr Mann haben uns super informiert und auch wenn es mal irgendwo klemmt, gibt es Unterstützung am Telefon oder von Luigi, der sich vor-Ort um alles (Garten, Pool, Glühbirnen, etc.) kümmert, Wer die Ruhe in der Natur sucht ist hier absolut richtig! Vielen Dank...

Von hier aus kann man den Strand in 30min erreichen und natürlich viele malerische Städtchen besuchen . Wir haben hier mit der Familie eine wunderschöne Zeit verbracht.

Monte Paradiso

Wahre Freiheit impliziert, dass man nicht darüber nachdenken muss, ob man frei ist… Genauso kann man nicht des Entspannens wegen entspannen. Wenn man sich fallen lassen kann, dann fällt man - ganz ohne Plan und Ziel. Es passiert einfach von selbst. Man verlässt die Ebene der Bekümmertheit und versinkt in einem Meer aus Leichtigkeit. Einen solchen Moment hier erleben zu dürfen, war erhofft, aber eben nicht geplant. Es ist einfach passiert. Diese überwältigende Schönheit lässt einen in Dankbarkeit genießen. Mensch und Natur passen hier irgendwie zusammen, allein weil es scheint, als könne der Mensch der Natur nicht das Wasser reichen. Die Kraft von Bergen und Tälern, das Meer in „Riechweite“, die tierischen Begegnungen - eine göttliche Symbiose - und mittendrin man selbst… ganz klein und marginal. I Casali - oh Monte Paradiso Hier zu verweilen ist ein Geschenk

Eine Woche in I Casale

Wir haben unseren Urlaub in I Casale genossen. Es liegt auf einer Anhöhe, von der man traumhafte Ausblicke in die Umgebung hat. Da wir wussten, dass es sehr abgelegen ist, hatten wir uns entsprechend organisiert und bereits auf der Hinfahrt eingekauft. Danke an Gastgeberin Conny für ihre wertvollen Tipps und an Luigi für die Betreuung!

Toller Blick und schöner Garten

Wir hatten eine schöne Woche in der wundersbaren Toskana. Die Wohnung ist deutlich kleiner, als erwartet und eher für 4 Personen geeignet, als für 6. Wir waren mit 4 Kindern da und hatten somit kein Wohnzimmer und die Küche ist recht klein. Aber wir konnten jeden Morgen in der Sonne im Garten frühstücken. Der Pool war wetterbedingt leider noch nicht geöffnet. Wir haben viele Auflüge gemacht und auch wunderbare Spaziergänge direkt vom Haus. Luigi war sehr nett und hat uns bestens versorgt.

La pace dei sensi

Appena si entra nella proprietà di Pietro ci si sente subito in un altro mondo, ma anche a casa. Abbiamo passato una settimana all'insegna del relax immersi nel verde e nel silenzio, a pochi km da paesi e vigneti tutti da scoprire. Un'esperienza da consigliare e appena possibile da replicare!

Erholung pur

Wir waren in der Nachsaison dort und hatten das ganze Areal für uns allein - die exponierte Lage des Steinhauses ist ein Traum, allein der Blick vom Frühstücksplatz ist unbezahlbar. An den Wochenenden waren Pietro und Eva mit ihrem süßen Sohn jeweils für einen halben Tag gekommen. Sie sind wirklich unwahrscheinlich freundlich und sehr liebenswürdige Gastgeber. Via Smartphone standen wir immer in Kontakt und haben sofort Hilfe bei Fragen bekommen. Der Pool wurde auch im Oktober täglich gereinigt und war auch bei leicht herbstlichen Temperaturen einladend, weil er konstant auf 24 Grad beheizt war. Durch die Gegenstromanlage konnte man toll trainieren. Da man ja ab und zu Ausfüge unternimmt, war es auch kein Problem, dass die nächsten Einkaufsgelegenheiten etwas weit sind, das haben wir dann immer auf der Rückfahrt erledigt. Außerdem gibt es einige sehr schöne und auch preiswerte Lokale in 15-20 minütiger Entfernung. Wir können I Casali wirklich empfehlen!!!

Great host, great location , great stay

One little week but enough to fully relax at Eva and Pietro’s little oasis. For us beach lovers , it was a deliberate choice to try a new place a little bit more inland and discover Tuscany’s medieval towns as we please, yet with the luxury of a great pool when we were back from our little excursions. Being away from mass tourism in the middle of July was greatly enjoyable and spending time with our family and two little dogs at I Casali is an experience we will remember with lots of fond memories. See you next time!

zauberhafte Toskana, liebevolles Anwesen

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in Pomarance sehr genossen. Vom Vermieter erhält man im Vorfeld viele nützliche Hinweise. Die Unterkunft und das Grundstück sind traumhaft! Es gibt viele Ecken auf dem Gelände, wo man je sich je nach Tageszeit und Sonnenstand platzieren kann. Es war alles da, was man braucht. Besonders hat uns der Swimmingpool gefallen! Von Micciano aus ist es auch nicht weit zum Meer. Ruhige kleine Dörfer liegen auf den Bergkuppen in unmittelbarer Umgebung. Zu den touristischen Orten, wie Siena, und Pisa kommt man angenehm mit dem Auto in kurzer Zeit und ist dann abends wieder in der bezaubernden ruhigen ländlichen Atmosphäre jenseits der Toristenmassen. Wer die Toskana mit seiner Unterkunft abseits vom Trubel der Städte erleben will, ist hier genau richtig aufgehoben. Wir empfehlen Pietro und Evas Unterkunft gern weiter und würden jederzeit wiederkommen! Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit!

Relaxation in the most beautiful surrounding Tuscany countryside

We were a family of 5, 2 adults and 3 children (10,10 & 13) from the minute we booked the communication was excellent. We arrived late at night due to an issue with our Car hire company but Eva greeted us with such a warm, natural welcome. Due to our lateness we didn’t have time to stop and buy basics for breakfast but Eva kindly arrived with a basket of essentials for our family to have breakfast which was so kind and thoughtful. We visited Volterra, Pomerance and San Gimignano and for the rest of the time we chilled by the pool at the farmhouse relaxing in the most spectacular surroundings you can imagine, the peace and quiet and privacy was blissful and it is all wired in and gated so children have great freedom to roam around and play, or relax and read in the hammock or splash in the pool. Highly recommend this letting and if I could give any advise to families coming to stay it would be don’t over do the traveling to medieval towns for the kids as they unfortunately are not as interested as us adults are - we found the days where we had breakfast and lunch at the farmhouse and let the kids relax, play in the pool and then went somewhere like Volterra in the evenings for food and ice cream then a stroll around the beautiful shops were definitely the best days spent in I Casali - as voted by our children. I hope we will make it back again.

Amazing Home With Breath Taking Views

We have a family of 5 and this home in the hills was amazing! It was roomy, very clean, updated yet it still had all the charm of a classic Tuscan stone farm house. It was about a 20 minute drive from the closest large town but there was a smaller town near by to get fuel, find a bank, pastry store, etc. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were updated. The owners, Pietro and his wife were very accommodating and kind. We would definitely come back here again and again!!!

Amazing property

In one word: STUNNING. We were on top of a Tuscan hill with a breathtaking views, in an uncontaminated setting, with a heated swimming pool. We couldn’t ask for a better place. There are only two apartments for rent, with very nice and well-kept furniture and all amenities included, which makes it very peacefull. The location is away from the cities but without been remote: It was so easy to travel to Volterra, San Gemignano and Sienna. The hosts, Pietro and Eva are wonderful , happy to help us but discrete. We’ll definitely come back! Highly recommended.

Lovely times in Lo Stallone

We, my brother and wife, myself and my partner, stayed for a week in I Casali. Pietro & Eva welcomed us and explained everything. We felt at home immediately. We had plenty of space the bedrooms are spacious and the beds are very good. We prepared breakfast every morning and enjoyed sitting around the kitchen table. Quite a few evenings we cooked. The kitchen is well equipped. We did a lot of sightseeing, visiting Lucca, Siena, Pisa and Florence as well as Volterra and San Gimignano. We had one lazy day hill walking in the adjoining nature reserve and lazing at the well kept heated pool. Another day we followed one of the many tips given by our wonderful hosts and drove to the beach at Marina di Bibbona, south of Cecina for a dip in the Mediterranean. Then we spent all day following the coast up to Livorno, stopping here and there. Our shopping we did in various supermarkets (e.g. Lidl) in Cecina. On the first day as we were coming down south from Pisa airport and we did another bigger shopping trip mid-week as wee were coming back from visiting Lucca. It was good to come back to the peace and quiet of I Casali after e.g. our our longer sightseeing trips to Lucca, Siena and Florence, when we were away all day. We did a lot of driving, but we shared the driving and took many wonderful scenic back roads. It was great and we saw a lot. An intensive week, a fun week. Wonderful Tuscany and I Casali. Highly recommended.

Perfect, tranquil and idillyic

We had the most amazing holiday. The accommodation is faultless and set in the beautiful Tuscan countryside, with far reaching breath-taking views. The villa is ideally located within an hour’s travelling distance of many places. The pool and gardens are tidy and well maintained. The nearby beaches are well worth a visit. The locals speak varying degrees of English but were always very happy and eager to welcome us. Pietro was a perfect host who was very helpful in suggesting places to visit, things to do and restaurants. We completely fell in love this place and will definitely return, leaving was very difficult! Highly recommended.

Unique

If you want rest and relaxation, this is certainly the place for you. As previous reviewers have pointed out, it is quite a way from anywhere. The nearest village, Micciano (which by the way is not a mere 10 minutes walk away), has a smart restaurant and a shop which we never actually found to be open, but is pretty. Much better for shopping is Ponteginori which has everything you need, including petrol. It's about 12-15 minutes' drive away. The house is wonderfully situated on the top of a hill with great views all round. It's a lovely old building surrounded by flower and herb beds, and a vineyard just below. Everything that we needed (there were 3 of us) was provided, including towels for the swimming pool, which was excellent. We visited many of the towns and villages in the area and would particularly recommend Montecattini val di Cecini and Casale Marittimo. Not to mention Volterra, San Gimignano, Siena and Lucca! Pietro and Eva were very welcoming as has been mentioned by other reviewers. As our heading points out, a unique getaway.
