Cascina Rodiani - Green Hospitality

Fantastic place, great food, lovely team! Don't dare to write more otherwise it will be booked out all the time.

Such a friendly and welcoming special place to stay! Not only for the impeccable design and approach to sustainability, but also spending time with Samuel, Mima and Nicole - all truly lovely, kind and thoughtful hosts. The natural swimming pool left our skin feeling soft and refreshed, and our meals were prepared with local, in-season ingredients to the highest standards. Our visit was lived outdoors given the terrace, direct hiking trail connections, wide views, beautiful grounds, fresh figs from the trees and dinner on a "terrace on the edge of the world".

On our way to Tuscany we stopped for two nights at Cascina Rodiani. What a beautiful place set on a hilltop surrounded by a wonderful garden and a chestnut forrest. Samuel and Nicole immediately made us feel at home. They are wonderful hosts. We had a very nice dinner with locally produced antipasti, pasta and local wine and a fabulous breakfast with vegan croissants, homemade jam yoghurt, granola and a freshly made carrot juice with mint and ginger. The rooms are spacious with a very tasteful interior and elegant bathrooms. Cascina Rodiani is a wonderful place to stay.

Two more wonderful visits to the Cascina in early March 2020, blissful breaks to the journeys south and then north a week later. It's a remarkable combination of a beautiful, isolated hill-top situation and quite a short drive from the main route. This is unquestionably our favourite place to stay away from home. The peaceful surroundings and fascinating garden, the unusual and luxurious accommodation, the delicious local produce and cooking, the charm and kindness of Samuel and Mimma; all these create an atmosphere that is welcoming and unique.

Cascina Rodiani was our choice for the last two nights in Italy after a busy, bus-heavy 10-day tour that started in Rome and ended in Venice. Samuel made the reservation process easy and followed up with an email with details a few days before our arrival as he promised. He greeted us with an overview of the property and made several recommendations of activities to do on our short visit. We enjoyed talking with a couple that was also visiting for their fifth time (we understand why people keep coming back to this magical location). We enjoyed the grounds, the sauna, and the spacious roo
