This highly exclusive 4-person cottage has been set up in a former hay-loft with a usable area of 98m². It is very private since it is built right next to the hill a good way from the main building. It also has a large 45m² patio. The view overlooking the surrounding hills is breathtaking.
Ideally situated at a stone’s throw from Volterra and San Gimignano, Monte Casone is a veritable haven of peace blessed with a view which is worthy of the most beautiful of postcards. Rest assured, you will experience moments of complete fulfilment, which you will be happy to share with your loved ones in the large overflow swimming pool or during unforgettable evenings with a good glass of Brunello wine. Whether you are a golfer, a walker, a passionate historian or whether you are simply looking for peace and tranquillity, you will find what you are looking for in Monte Casone.
HOLIDAY ACCOMMODATIONS UNLIKE ANY OTHERS
The Pendolino villa (201m2) and the Frantoio cottage (104m2) are located within the farm complex, whereas the Moraiolo stand-alone cottage (98m2) is to be found on the site of an old hayloft. Each accommodation has a furnished private patio.
The three spacious lodges enjoy superior privacy and are designed and equipped to make you feel at home. From the Nespresso machine to Netflix and the Bose portable speaker, you will find everything you need for your well-being. Because luxury is in the detail.
COMFORT ALL YEAR ROUND:
Monte Casone can welcome you all year round with the highest level of comfort and respect for the environment. To achieve this the farm holiday accommodation has been renovated recently with green technologies which have brought the buildings to the highest level of energy performance (A+). Extremely efficient and comfortable in winter (up to 24°C in every room), the geothermal system uses the under-floor piping equipment for cooling purposes in summer. This technology is healthier and more comfortable than flowing cold air. The temperature inside the accommodation is typically kept around 8°C to 10°C cooler than peak outside temperature. Also, all bedrooms windows are equipped with mosquito nets, so as to take maximum advantage of night coolness. The use of these technologies, which is extremely rare in this region of Italy, offers you the possibility of visiting Tuscany out of season and thus to avoid overcrowding in the high season in the popular tourist destinations.

Amazing stay for our family. Lovely reception and welcoming. The view is breathtaking from the pool and our kids enjoyed that only few other guests are there if at all.
The property is modern, clean and easy to use with easy access to everything you need to have a fantastic, quiet family holiday. The kitchen was well equipped and easy to use.The check-in was quick and easy.

Dear Christopher,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. Niccolò and Lisa have been truly delighted to read your kind comments in their regard!
We hope to see you again soon at Monte Casone.
Best regards from Tuscany, Elisabeth
We loved this villa and it's surroundings. If you're looking for a remote getaway, this is a definite winner. The roads leading to the villa are a little sketchy but as long as you have a decent vehicle you will be fine. Great place to stay if you have a car and are wanting to do day trips.
The cottage was more than comfortable for two couples. We enjoyed using the outdoor BBQ and gorgeous pool most of all. Great place to just unwind. The property is remote—but plenty of charming towns within a 15-30 minute drive away.
You couldn’t possibly ask for anything better than this Villa! It is clean, rustic, authentic, and the VIEWS are amazing! We didn’t have weather that allowed us to enjoy the pool but it was nice. Simply amazing!
This property was a Tuscan dream. Breathtaking scenery in a comfortable and meticulously updated former hay shed. Sarah and her family are warm and kind. We couldn’t have picked a more perfect location to explore the Tuscan countryside.
A stunning location. Endless views, peaceful and easy comfort. A spectacular pool, better than most resorts. All the conveniences of home and exceeding our expectations. Short drives to San Gimiano and Sienna. The nearby town of Ghizano it a surprise in itself. We can’t wait to return.
We have just enjoyed the most relaxing week at Monte Casone. The villa was spotless and equipped beyond expectation. Due to a late flight we didn’t arrive until 11pm but communication with the host was excellent and we were still greeted and shown around upon arrival!The villas themselves are set in a stunning rural Tuscany location. The infinity pool was spotless and offered beautiful views out onto rolling hills! Would we come again? In a heart beat!Tip: Monte Casone is very rural and accessed by a long steep gravel track. A hire car and confident driver is definitely recommended!
Overall we loved the cottage and the area. The views were amazing. Easy access to Florence, Pisa, etc. We enjoyed the solitude, the pool to ourselves, and sitting on our private terrace for coffee or afternoon drinks. The shrubbery around the terrace could be trimmed down to provide a better view. It was very warm during our stay, and with no A/C the cottage was quite warm. The fans helped, but noisy. We did not see the caretakers much after check-in, but knew they were there if we needed them. A lovely few days in Tuscany!
It was a hot several days and the beautiful pool and shade umbrellas were very appreciated. The kitchen was well appointed, the bed was comfortable. 2 little trays of ice in the freezer. The washer is very small, but effective. There is no forced air AC, system is geothermal and was comfortable at night due to the cooler nights. I don’t know about mid-summer. No dryer but a clothesline outside. Overall a very nice cottage in a secluded area. Important to plan ahead any siteseeing, it is not an easy location.

Beautiful, tranquil setting for a relaxing holiday
We have just returned from our 1 week stay at Monte Casone – Moraiolo and had a wonderful time. We arrived after 4 busy days in Florence (only 1-1.5 hour drive away) and were given a warm welcome by Elisabeth & Mathieu. The villa was immaculate - very clean, with all the amenities we could have wanted, a real home from home. The shared infinity pool was beautiful and a very welcome relief from the hot July weather. The villa is situated along an undulating track, which did seem longer than we thought, but didn't put us off driving to nearby Ghizzano for bread most mornings. Peccioli - about 20 mins drive from the villa has a new Coop that allowed us to buy the supplies we needed. Can't fault the property at all, the location is great for visiting many towns with lovely tavernas (although some via pretty rough tracks rather than fully tarred roads). The area has lots to see, but if a relaxing holiday by the pool is all you want in stunning surroundings, then this is the place for you. Thanks for our holiday it really was a Tuscan Dream.

Beautiful spot to get away and relax, enjoy beautiful countryside.
My group of 3 stayed for 3 nights in early June and would love to have stayed longer. Location is even more beautiful than pictures displayed. We had the separate cottage, and it was immaculate. We enjoyed the pool and patio area to the side very much, especially to watch sunsets.
Lisa and Nick met us right as we arrived at about 4 pm and were very helpful and friendly, offering advice or any assistance we needed getting situated. We did ask for some recommendations and directions later, and they were super helpful and we very much enjoyed meeting them.
We arrived in Florence by train from Rome and rented a car to drive to Monte Casone. We had no troubles navigating or finding our way, although we had read where some people thought getting in and out of Florence was difficult. GPS took us right to Monte Casone without a hitch.
We'd recommend taking an afternoon or so and driving to Volterra. It's located up high and offers some beautiful views of the countryside, as well as nice walking and exploring while visiting.
We'd love to return and bring more family members with us, it was such a wonderful location and experience.

Dear Mark, thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star rating! We appreciate the time you took to write this review and appreciated even more having you as guests!
We are delighted to know that you've enjoyed Monte Casone and felt welcomed by Lisa and Niccolò. We certainly look forward to welcoming you back with more family members. Our 8-person accommodation Pendolino would be the perfect option!
Geschmackvoll eingerichtetes Ferienhaus bei dem es an nichts fehlt.
Lage traumhaft mit Blick auf Olivenhaine und die toskanische Landschaft.
Einziger Wermutstropfen ist die Zufahrtsstraße zum Ferienhaus, diese war durch den Regen sehr ausgespült.
Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.
Flot, flot ejendom med skøn beliggenhed. Perfekte faciliteter.
Man føler sig virkelig velkommen som gæst - der er generelt bare kælet lidt mere for detaljerne end mange andre steder.
For os er beliggenheden god mens andre nok synes, der er lidt langt til restauranter (og supermarkeder), men hvis du prioriterer ro og "hjemlig" hygge med madlavning og afslapning, så er det et perfekt sted.
Very easy rental process and a beautiful property. Very difficult to get to as it’s a long and winding dirt/gravel road with not a lot of signage. But well worth it!
Anna was extremely helpful and informative. Had some great recommendations as well. More pillows/pillow options would be nice but that’s minor in the scheme of things.
Would definitely return if travel plans allowed.
Stunning property, super clean, comfortable beds and pillows, high-end everything, breathtaking vistas and pool, lovely and charming Anna was so helpful. Will absolutely come back again one day, and will recommend this place without reservation to everyone I know.
Nous avons apprécié l'accueil et la gentillesse d'Anna, sa délicatesse et sa disponibilité à répondre à nos questions et nos demandes.
Nous avons beaucoup aimé la maison (ancien fenil) qui correspondait aux images et à l'information du site internet. Bien équipée, bien située, dans un environnement tranquille et bucolique.
Nous aurions une petite suggestion constructive qui pourrait être appéciée: mettre davantage de linge de maison à la disposition des invités: nappe ou napperons, linges de vaisselle et guenilles...
Sinon, tout était parfait...

Fantastische plek, van alle gemakken voorzien, met een adembenemend uitzicht!
Moraiolo is een fantastische plek om te verblijven. Het is een luxe huisje op een schitterende plek, veel privacy, prachtige vergezichten. Ontzettend vriendelijke beheerders, die op de achtergrond altijd beschikbaar zijn. Schoon, veel gemakken, er is veel aandacht besteed aan vele details (denk aan een draadloze Bose speaker, stopcontact op het terras, ventilatoren in alle slaapkamers, uitgebreide inventaris, Nespresso machine, leuke wijnproeverij op het terrein ...). We hebben ontzettend genoten van de rust en de omgeving. Twee hele kleine minpuntjes: stoelen op terras waren niet heel erg comfortabel (daarentegen kon gebruik gemaakt worden van de loungeset naast het zwembad) en voor je verse broodjes ben je even onderweg (maar dat kon je van tevoren weten - er is een oven en broodrooster).
Concluderend: een aanrader voor een ieder die van rust, luxe en een prachtige omgeving wil genieten!
