About this property

Wonderful holiday home with spectacular views of Caprese Michelangelo.

Casa Rosa is nestled among the Tuscan hills with spectacular views of Caprese Michleangelo - the birth home of the great artist, Michelangelo.
The grounds have been lovingly landscaped with ponds, olive grove, vineyard, fruit trees and flowering plants and are for your enjoyment. Casa Rosa is an independent stonehouse that has been beautifully restored to the highest standards, retaining the Tuscan charm, with wooden beams, chestnut doors and windows, title flooring around the house with exception of the master room that has wood flooring. For winter you can enjoy the wood fireplace located on the living room. Your private holiday home is designed for relaxing and comfortable living for all seasons.

Casa Rosa is the realization of the true Italy we all dream about. The property is located in the genuine Italian countryside, far enough from the major tourist centres, so that authentic Italian life can be experienced. In our little corner of Tuscany you will find the essence of Italy.

Among the rolling Tuscan hills, explore the nearby hills, fields and streams bountiful with wild-life, chestnuts, walnuts, cherries, prunes, apples, grapes, blackberries, mushrooms, rare ferns and wild flowers.
The house overlooks a small tranquil village in which its proud residents have lived for generations in their family homes. Straight and elegant cypress trees, mountain streams with rapids and waterfalls adorn this charming little Italian village. A famous Tuscan restaurant, 'Il Rifugio', that attracts patrons from Milan and Florence, is within a 5-minute walk of your holiday home. Additionally you can also eat in Caprese Michelanelo at "La Buca di Michelangelo"or "Ïl Cerro". On the Weekends the Museum Casa Natale di Michelangelo is open.

The house is surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds that provide a peaceful and secluded retreat. The natural spring fountain on the property, just outside your front door, was a source of drinking water for the villagers in the old days. The terrace is an amazingly relaxing place to sunbathe, read, have romantic meals or stargaze into the night.

There are outdoor sitting areas where you can choose to spend the time with a bottle of wine, or dine under the grapevine covered pergola.

The house is a charming Tuscan home on two levels. On the first level you will find an open kitchen with dishwasher, electric oven, gas stove, small fridge, coffee maker, electric kettle, toaster, kitchen supplies, baking supplies and dishes, a wood dining table up to 4 people, on the living area you will have a double sofa, one chair, a table of chess and a wood burning stove for intimate and relaxing settings. On the upper level it is located the bedroom room with a double bed, two sofas, drawer, security box, an extra camping twin bed. The bathroom has a toilet, bidet, bath tub and hand sink. From the staircase are you will enjoy the amazing views of Michelangelo's birth home and the small village of Lama below and the vineyards.

Your vacation home is of course equipped with everything you could possibly need to feel 'right at home'. This includes a fully equipped kitchen, TV, DVD player, and WiFi Internet up to 120 GB access throughout the property.

We are centrally situated within easy access to major attractions. You can easily take day trips to Florence, Pisa, Bologna, Cortona, Siena, Perugia, Assisi, Rome, or many of the infinite charming unknown Italian villages.

At Casa Rosa, it is our goal to make your stay the most memorable possible.

Very nice quiet place to stay
We had a lovely time. The house is perfect if you want to stay in a quiet environment. The places nearby are not yet discovered by tourists. During the hot temperature of the summer the house is cool, and the garden is perfect to have a lazy afternoon. Carol and Rick are perfect hosts!

Ein Paradies mitten in der Natur
Wir haben hier die schönste Woche ever in der Toscana verbracht. Herzlichen Dank an die Besitzer, Carol und Ricardo, ihr wart so wunderbare Gastgeber - alles hat perfekt geklappt und es war sehr spannend, euch kennenlernen zu dürfen! Das Haus ist genau so toll wie auf den Bildern, liegt unglaublich ruhig und wirklich inmitten einer wunderschönen Landschaft. Die Innenausstattung lässt keine Wünsche übrig, die Küche ist mit Allem ausgestattet, das Bad ebenfalls - auch Pflegeprodukte, Putzmittel, Tücher, alles da. Man fühlt sich gleich zu Hause. Wir haben herrlich geschlafen, dank Fliegengittern auch stechmückenfrei. Es hat einige gute Restaurants (Il Rifugio, il Cerro) in der Nähe, die einen Besuch lohnen. Aber am schönsten war es, den Gartengrill anzufeuern und draussen zu essen. Einen gut bestückten Supermarkt (Gala) hat es in Pieve Santo Stefano (10 Min. PW). Einige Sehenswürdigkeiten gibt es ebenfalls in der Nähe und auch die grossen Städte sind nicht weg weit. Wir hoffen, dass wir bald wiederkommen können- es war einfach zu schön!

Countryside Paradise
Casa Rosa is a lovely (spacious) Italian cottage set in romantically crafted gardens. Looking out towards Caprese Michelangelo on the opposite hillside was a perfect setting. The October sun shone for most of the time & this gave our in the countryside experience a wonderful & much appreciated boost. At this time of year it’s always a lottery. We had only one rainy day in 15. The house is lovely & we arrived to find a very generous welcome pack of milk, tea, coffee, bread & fruit etc. Plus a fabulous bottle of wine & Prosecco ! The bedroom is well appointed, charming & has a wonderful comfy bed (So often the ruin of a holiday rental !!). The bathroom was roomy, well appointed & boasting a powerful hot shower. For those relaxing evenings, the DVD & book collection was the best I’ve seen offered to HomeAway renters. The kitchen lounge was great & had everything we needed to make our own meals, no different from home. Everything had been thought of. The amazing log fire burner in the lounge was much needed at this time of year as the nights fell very cool. So a satisfying evening in was made complete once I’d completed the daily cleaning ritual of last nights embers & relite from the ample wood stores at the back of the house. The location in Lama May be a bit remote for some but a car rental made Anghiari, Arezzo, Cortona & Siena easily accessible. So a hire car was essential. We also parked at Arezzo & took the marvellous train service to Florence for the day, which was a great alternative. Overall, we give Casa Rosa 10/10. Thank for a wonderful home base. It couldn’t have been better. Gary & Marion

Hi. We are a Colombo-American family who love to travel, meet new people, and learn about cultures. We enjoy a spiritual and simple life, being surrounded by beautiful landscapes, great wine, and delicious food. We speak fluent English and Spanish, have a decent understanding of Italian, and speak the basics

Why they chose this property

When you enter the grounds you are immediately surrounded by the peaceful beauty of the property including the beautiful landscaping, our amazing vineyard, the many different fruit trees, the olive trees, the ducks, rabbits, ponds, etc., etc. And just look up and there is the house where the famous Michelangelo was born and the amazing surrounding hills.

What makes this property unique

In this region of Tuscany, you find the Italy everyone dreams about. Of course, our amazing local restaurants serve the wonderful, reasonably priced food you expect; however, in addition, just strolling down to the local grocery store you will meet the most wonderfully genuine Italian neighbours who will be so happy to share a few words with you (in Italian of course).
