About this farm stay rental
PODERE CASAROTTA is a private villa in a XVIII century farmhouse, that has been restored, divided in six apartments, and provided with a swimming pool immersed in the silence of the countryside. Halfway between Florence and Arezzo, on the cliff of Pratomagno mountain, with a stunning sight on the whole Valdarno valley and the Chianti hills. Immersed in nature and surrounded by olive trees (we still make our own organic olive oil).
The house features six apartments that have one or two bedrooms each, living room with equipped kitchen, private bathroom and private outdoor garden area. Each apartment can sleep 2/4 persons, together they accommodate any group up to 24 persons (14 in double beds + up to 10 in added beds/sofabeds). Perfect for groups of 12-16.
One of the apartments (the stand-alone Hayloft) has a large dining room with 16 seats and a large private terrace with view where even larger groups can comfortably eat altogether in an unforgettable setting.
Thanks to the privileged position, you will find a perfect balance between rest & relaxation and moving around to visit Tuscany. The house is secluded, silent and peaceful, but at the same time it's near to local town and villages: the nearest shopping point is Castelfranco, just 4kms away, and the A1 motorway is just at a 10 minutes drive.
Podere Casarotta will be your luxurious, comfortable and relaxing starting point to enjoy Tuscany! Whatever you are looking for: art, history, culture, parks and nature, wine and food routes, or just perfect relax, you will find them all at hand!

The apartment was large and well equipped. It had a lovely sunny terrace and its own private garden. The views are fabulous. The manager could not have been more helpful with giving us local information. The villa is in a beautiful location. Perfect to visit Florence and Pisa. There are some lovely bike rides too. I would recommend these apartments to anyone.

Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Woche in unserem Appartement "Il Gelso".
Das Apartment ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und sehr sauber.
Das besondere an diesem Ort sind einfach die Stille und der Ausblick.
Das gesamte Anwesen ist sehr gut gepflegt und auch die Angestellten sind nett und hilfsbereit.
Wir würden wiederkommen.

A very quiet and beautifull location, ideal for making long walks in the Pratomagno, and to visit Toscane. The apartments are very good and cool. The swimming pool and the area is beautifull, and the manager is very helpfull.

We had a fantastic week at Podere Casarotta. We stayed in Il Loggia, a one bedroom apartment. It is very spacious, with a comfortable bed and a lovely shower. It also has a private area immediately outside with views over the valley, the Valdarno. Simone and everyone there could not have been more helpful. Simone welcomed us and showed us around, and he and his partner cooked us a delicious and memorable meal one evening. There is a lovely 15m+ pool which is shared with the other residents, but it is easily big enough with plenty of loungers by the pool. The information folder provided gave us lots of interesting and useful information about the area - for example it told us clearly how we could travel by train to Florence, which we did very successfully one day. There is a range of shops in Castelfranco di Sopra, including a friendly bakers shop. All in all, this is a great place to stay!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, fantastic place, stunning views, relaxing and chilled throughout our stay. Easy to get to places such as Florence, would recommend a trip to Lucca and the Il Conto de Maggio restaurant. If you're looking for a place in the hills away from the hustle of day to day life with great views and weather this is the place for you

We have 2 children (5 and 9) and love decent self-catering accommodation holidays. This place was fantastic and I have have already recommended friends and family to go. We stayed in "I Baldacchini" which was perfect for a family of 4. The pool is lovely, everywhere is safe and clean and everyone who we came into contact with were friendly. We will definitely be back, great job.

We loved every minute of our stay at Podere Casarotta. We stayed in the converted hayloft, which was not only comfortable but had everything we could possibly need. There was a perfect mix between relaxation and sight seeing, and the apartments were located by some really pretty towns and within easy train ride to Florence and other big towns.. Wish we were still there!

We had a wonderful time at Podere Casarotta! The apartment was clean, comfortable and very good equipped. Simone was a perfect host and gave us very good hints concerning restaurants and sightseeing highlights nearby. There has also been a nice welcome package including wine and water. Also coffee, tea, olive oil, pasta and cosey towels as well as bathrobes and slippers are offered in the apartment.
The view down the valley was really awesome. Also the garden with the pool and the barbeque place were in excellent state! It is a very good starting point to visit Florence, Siena, Arezzo and the Chianti valley, but a car is necessary!
It is a perfect place to leave everything behind and forget about the stressful everyday life. We all agreed that we would definitely come here again!! Thanks to Simone and Podere Casarotta for the great vacation!

We stayed here for a week after having been travelling around Italy. Beautiful place, lovely surroundings and very peaceful. Simone was extremely helpful, and the gardener was lovely. Everything was clean and we'll maintained and the views were exceptional! Top tip: Ask Simone to prepare for you one of their home cooked meals. WOW! It was the best meal we had in the whole trip! This was a perfect tuscan escape for families and couples and we would recommend it to anyone, I would rate it 10 if I could!

My husband and I stayed at Podere Casarotta in May 2013. It was lovely rural retreat with stunning views. We stayed in apartment 2 and benefited from our own private terrace, which we used every evening. Simone - the manager of the property - was incredibly helpful in the run up to our holiday, and during the break. He even taught us how to cook some Italian foods, which was a real highlight! We would happily recommend this property.You need a car to get there (and the drive up to the property was a little nerve racking the first time round) but the views are amazing and the peace and tranquillity on offer should not be underestimated.

If you are looking for a chance to get away from it all, then look no further. This collection of seven properties is situated in the hills and olive groves, with beautiful south facing views down in to the valley, and has a rustic charm to match. The main house was tastefully converted about 20 years ago and the gardens are immaculate thanks to Enzo, the gardener. Simone couldn't do enough for us. Would definitely recommend,
5.0 / 5.0
We booked not knowing where exactly the Podere Casarotta was, all we knew was that it was in central Tuscany which is where we wanted to be.
We were a party of four and we had booked apartments three and four for a whole month. When we arrived we were met by Simone who showed us around the property and gave us advice about the surrounding area, things like where to shop where to eat the best places to visit etc..
To say that we were pleasantly surprised at the accommodations would be an understatement, we were overjoyed, the apartments were very clean and had all the basics for a comfortable holiday in Italy. Simone offered to cook a typical Tuscan meal for us and the other guests which was a marvel in culinary delight (far too much food for me) and the wine was excellent, Simone could not do enough for his guests. The actual Podere is situated about a mile off the Setti Ponte Road above the Arno Valley, and is surrounded by olive groves and grape vineyards as far as the eye can see, each morning we were awakened by the sound of birds singing, and the view of the Arno valley was stunning. Each apartment has its own garden spot where you can sit, there is also a beautiful swimming pool and sun beds to laze on while you work on your tan.
All in all I would go back in a heartbeat, and I highly recommend the Podere Casarotta as a base of operations if you want to see Tuscany, everywhere you would want to go is within easy driving distance.
