Description
Set high on a ridge in the most secluded part of Santo Stefano, Le Cascine benefits from simply outstanding views by having a 360 degree panorama of the olive groves, woodland, cornfields, lakes, distant villages and farmsteads nestling in the countryside around the estate.

French windows open out from the reception room and ground floor bedrooms to the beautiful lawned gardens dotted with olive trees, cypresses, lavender, rosemary and other aromatic shrubs, beyond which is the immense mosaic tiled infinity pool with a separate hydro massage area and a large stone sunbathing terrace.

The open-air pool loggia has a large barbecue and outdoor kitchen with ample wrought iron tables, cushioned dining chairs and sofas. This is a perfect spot to shelter for long lunches in the heat of the day or gather for drinks watching the effects of the changing evening light on the countryside.

Accommodation:
up to 29, 24 or 21 persons (the villa can be rented in smaller units at certain times)
4 salons, (five if you count, main villa and 4 apartments) 17 bedrooms, 13 shower rooms, 1 bathroom

The interiors have been inspired by the natural beauty of this rural setting and are decorated in an elegant contemporary style in intense tones of sage green, sky blue, deep red and rich terracotta. A fa�ade of French windows leads from the south facing terraces to the reception room that runs almost the whole length of the ground floor, which is painted in a deep sunflower yellow and has typical brick arches, beamed ceilings and vast fireplace. This is a truly magnificent and luminous space. A few steps lead down to the spectacular kitchen, which is fitted with the best Italian appliances, perfect for amateur chefs!

This stylish and contemporary theme of the reception rooms and kitchen is continued in the bedrooms, with cream bed linen and ivory coloured wardrobes and chests of drawers offset by distinctive straw headboards, terracotta bedside lights and colour washed walls in striking tones.

The Area
Tuscany is a charmed land, equally blessed by the genius of man and nature. Rows of baby green vines manage somehow to march in arrow-straight formation up the gently rolling hillsides, bounded by single files of darker green cypress trees.

Symmetrically rounded hilltops surmounted by towns so homogeneous as to seem one single building. Every inch of land has been sculpted, first by the elements and then by generations of inhabitants whose goals were always to make the land produce as much as possible whilst keeping the land as beautiful as possible.

We have recently discovered some wonderful villas located in a private 1000 acre estate, 50 kilometres from Pisa, Florence and Sienna.

There is plenty to do and see in the area; artisans' workshops, churches and museums at the nearby historic towns of Montopoli, San Minato and Certaldo, as well as a good many sporting facilities in the vicinity. The English estate manager is happy to arrange wine tours, fishing trips, golf and even American horseback riding.

There is plenty to do in the area. The art centres of Florence, Siena and Lucca are within easy reach while close at hand are the evocative hill towns of San Gimignano, San Miniato. Keen walkers will enjoy strolling through the glorious landscape to neighbouring hamlets.

The management team have excellent local knowledge and contacts and are delighted to make bookings for restaurants and golf courses. Visits can also be arranged to local wineries and olive oil mills. Personalised tours of vineyards, historic villas and private collections with guides can also be arranged on request.

In summer there is an open-air cinema in Castelfiorentino and spontaneous festivals in local villages. There are also plenty of bars and tried-and-tested ice cream shops!

A selection of restaurants, from family-friendly trattorie to the internationally renowned, lie within easy reach. All have wine cellars with exceptional Tuscan wines.

The market towns of Castelfiorentino (population 17,500) and Montaione (population 3,500) lie 6 kms from Santo Stefano. They have a wide range of facilities including cafés, restaurants, a weekly market, banks, internet points, boutiques, good shops, hairdresser.
