Nestled on the Chianti hills between forests and streams, La Casata is an organic farm, with an historic wine cellar in operation since 1404. Halfway between Florence and Siena, La Casata appears, in an uncontaminated landscape of streams, forests and ancient hamlets scattered on the hills surrounding it. La Casata is an estate with magnificent gardens, forests and agricultural land that covers over 400 hectares on the hills between Greve and Panzano in Chianti. The heart of the estate is its renaissance villa, built in 1300 by the Gherardini family, and surrounded by gardens that fill the spaces between rows of cypress trees, vineyards and olive groves. A marvellous location, nestled within the lavish woodland, olive groves and vines, Estate La Casata offers a perfect country escape. Its unspoilt location, set between Greve and Panzano in Chianti, each 10 minutes drive away, makes this splendid farmhouse the perfect choice for those wishing to explore Tuscany and all that it has to offer. The panoramic terrace, shaded by olives and an ancient mulberry tree, is also the perfect spot for an aperitivo or for lunch. Estate La Casata consists of two separate houses with nine bedrooms. A distinctive contemporary design, with natural colour schemes and Italian designer furniture, is combined with the typical elements of the traditional Tuscan farmhouse.
