About this property

Casa Cavalli: Charming Cottage on beautiful estate in Tuscany

'Casa Cavalli' is close to many family-friendly activities, the art and culture of the Renaissance Tuscan cities, fabulous inexpensive restaurants, and the coast is only 30 minutes away with miles of beaches. Casa Cavalli is on a large family estate dominated by the 15th century 'Villa Padronale'. You will love the charm of the flat, its setting in the Tuscan countryside with stunning views, and its convenient location in the Maremma. On two sides it is surrounded by a large garden with wide sweeping views. The newly renovated (though typically Tuscan - in keeping with the rest of the estate) apartment is ideal for couples, solo adventurers, and families (with children). It makes a great summer base especially, but is rentable all year round. The apartment is about 85sq metres.

We have many years experience in renting out our family properties. On the estate we have rented out our 6 bedroom luxury villa through the high end London agency CV Villas for nearly 2 decades. We have decided to continue this trend and have recently continued to renovate our other properties. Another two cottages available for rentals on the estate are: a 2 bedroom cottage called Casa Chiesa (8369630), and a 2 bedroom cottage called Casa Amiata (6722787).

We have a large staff on the estate who have experience in hospitality, and we can help organise some extra services/activities: station & airport pick-ups and drop-offs, simple private cooking lessons and help with recommending what to do and see, and etc.

Check In FROM 16.00-1930, Check Out is BY 09.30 (am), unless agreed to prior. Please note there is a surcharge of €25 for late check-ins after 1930 as if out of work hours someone will have to be called in. Late check-ins can also be very inconvenient so to be avoided if possible.

NB. There is also a swimming pool that belongs to the main villa - it is not officially included in the the rental agreement or rental price, but guests are invited to use it should they want to. (Guests must sign a responsability/liability waiver form before use, children MUST be supervised, and the pool closes at 7pm). THE SWIMMING POOL OPENS ON THE 1ST JUNE, THOUGH SUBJECT TO THE WEATHER CONDITIONS.

In the local village, Paganico, there are banks, bars, a chemist, restaurants, a small train station, shops and tennis courts.

DUE TO THE NARROW ROADS, CARAVANS AND CAMPERS ARE NOT PERMITTED ON THE PROPERTY EVEN IF YOU HAVE RENTED A PROPERTY !

Tuscany at its best
Beautiful unspoilt Tuscan estate . The owner and the staff were most welcoming with nothing too much trouble for them. The property is family owned and has been for many years so Luca and his staff know the area inside out and are more than happy to to share that knowledge with their guests. Also the swimming pool was midway for cooling off during one of the hottest weeks of the year !!!

Beautiful location, fabulous apartment
We are a family of 4 with 2 older teens. Casa Cavalli has been perfect for our stay. We arrived after a busy few days in Rome and it has been a perfect place to relax and recharge. The apartment is very well equipped, the pool is lovely and the scenery is breath taking. Luca was extremely helpful and gave us a lot of local tips and suggestions. This place is special! We highly recommend and hope to return there sometime.

Wonderful!
From the moment we arrived, we were made welcome. The estate and accommodation were even more beautiful than the photographs. We had everything we needed to make our 12 day stay comfortable. Casa Cavalli was spotlessly clean and fresh bread, butter, oil and milk we provided to start us off. Thank you Luca for being there when we needed you. Hope to see you next year.

Highlight of our trip in Italy
We very much enjoyed our stay, in fact it was the highlight of our three weeks traveling. The facilities were excellent, the property very well presented, immaculately clean and very thoughtfully furnished. We wanted for nothing. The wider property and grounds gave us an opportunity to relax, explore and unwind. The views from each window across the valleys are the fondest memories of our holiday. The sounds from the villages in the distant hills are a charming backdrop and glimpse in to rural Italian life. We were able to meet Luca himself. He provided wonderful local information and proved to be a gracious and host. I travelled with my 11 y.o. son and even he was wowed by the charm and tranquility but most importantly the warmth of this property.

Accueillant, reposant et authentique
L’accueil a été super, l’appartement était très confortable, très bien entretenu et très bien équipé. Nous y avons passé 17 jours au calme, vraiment reposant. Nous vous recommandons grandement ce domaine magnifique plein d’authenticité. La piscine, qui n’est pas un luxe en plein mois d’août, est vraiment belle, avec une vue imprenable sur les vignes et les oliviers aux alentours. Il n’est pas forcément nécessaire de quitter le domaine pour se dépayser complètement. En plus, lors de notre séjour à Casa Cavalli, la cour principale de la propiété s’est animée à deux reprises pour la fête d’une partie du village de Paganico, et pour l’anniversaire de l’un des collaborateurs du domaine. A chaque fois, Luca et sa famille nous ont accueilli chaleureusement. Nous ne pouvons que vous recommander les appartements de ce domaine merveilleux où nous retournerons très certainement. Encore un grand merci à notre hôte, sa famille et son équipe !

About the host

Hosted by Luca

Host profile image
Luca Savelli is the owner of the large Tenuta di Monteverdi, a family estate bought in 1916 by his grandfather, who turned it from a backwater into a national model-estate for farming.

Based in London, Luca visits the estate on a frequent basis spending longer periods there in the summer, though otherwise works as an archaeologist, primarily in Ethiopia and Italy,

Why they chose this property

The property is newly renovated (2016) but very much in keeping with both the Renaissance era estate it is on, and also with the style and standard that people expect when staying in Tuscany: in addition, it has lovely views and is very quiet. While the 85m2 apartment is traditional, it has been renovated in 2016 with all the comforts one would expect: fully fitted and equipped kitchen, sitting/dining areas, comfortable beds and bed linen, bathroom with bath/shower, clean energy pellet stove, efficient hot water supply, Wifi, TV/DVD, secure etc.

The surrounding land, which is a large estate of historical interest with stunning views, is a working estate and has woodland, farmland, olive groves and vineyards, producing a variety of produce (including olive oil which we sell).

The location, in the middle of the Maremma, is exceptional, with easy access to many famous cities, including: Siena, Montalcino, Pienza, Montelpulciano, Arezzo, Florence, San Gimignano, Volterra, Chianti, and even Rome, while the miles of beaches are within easy short drives. Added to this are numerous activities: walks, riding, national parks, skiing (in winter), natural sulphur baths, golf, polo, tennis and much more, not to mention the fantastic and inexpensive cuisine!

What makes this property unique

The benefit of this property is so that it can be used as a very convenient base to explore Tuscany, its coast, culture and cuisine. We believe that the prices are good value in compared to the competition, and we also have many years experience in rentals on our family estate. Lastly, we have a large staff on the estate and so we can make your visit enjoyable as possible. Upon booking, we offer a booklet with advice and information.
