Casa Castagna

Wow what a gem of a find Tuscany. My wife and I visited Casa Castagna in September with some friends for a relaxing getaway. We were greeted with a beautiful gift bag with local honey, award winning local olive oil and hand made soap all in a hand printed bag, a lovely touch. The house is stunning, sympathetically restored with stunning views of the valley and a great terrace for a meal and or aperitif. The beds were very comfortable with lovely linen with the name of the house embroidered for another lovely touch, The kitchen has everything you would want or need.

So I said in Oct 19 that Casa Castagna is a gem, best place we’ve stayed, and we’d return… and so we have! Post pandemic, and even more excited as I knew the standards that delight. Michelle and husband have created something truly special with this restoration town house up in the Tuscan hills. A design enthusiasts dream, luxury details, and you will be transported to a beautiful and authentic pocket of Tuscany. Favourite parts of the days are sunsets on the terrace, espresso in the morning and spa like luxury of the bedrooms and en-suites.

I had such an enjoyable stay at the house. If you want a true experience of what it’s like to be in a magical hill town in the heart of Tuscany then this place is perfect for you. The house itself is exquisite, the detailing and the quality of all the finishes and superb linens - it really felt like a stay at a 5-Star Hotel. The communication was perfect from start to finish and they even have a fantastic app for your phone that tells you everything you need to know. The restaurants just three minutes away down the hill are perfect in every way serving pizza and wood-fired grilled specialties.

We had an absolutely wonderful holiday. Michelle could not have been more helpful, I could not praise her higher. We loved the house and the views were to die for. We will definitely be visiting again.
