Escape to the Tuscan countryside and a gloriously restored original farmhouse. Casale Gabbro sits in the heart of an estate, surrounded by orchards, vineyards, and golden wheatfields. With historic artefacts, bespoke furniture, and a spiritual atmosphere that brings peace and tranquillity to your heart, this wonderful four-bedroom farmhouse can easily accommodate up to eight guests.

The kitchen is a sumptuous affair that just begs to be filled with the smells of real Italian cuisine. The central marble station is truly impressive, while the modern amenities provide you with everything you need to unleash your culinary creativity. The outdoor dining area allows you to go al fresco, and a traditional outdoor forno (wood-burning oven) gives your homemade pizzas that proper Italian flavour. The lounge area is spectacular, with the farmhouse’s original arches a real feature throughout. It even has a wood stove formerly owned by the noble Visconti family, and several items that started life in the nearby castle. Outside, a glass tile swimming pool is the perfect place to cool off and is surrounded by a large sun terrace.

The four bedrooms are spread throughout the main building and the two annexes, allowing a greater amount of privacy for couples. The king-size master suite is on the upper level of the main villa and is a mix of old and new, with a carved and ornate four-poster bed that has to be seen to be believed. Natural features such as raw stone walls and polished floorboards hark back to this farmhouse’s ancestry, while modern touches such as the exclusive ensuite lined with marble give it an air of elegance and refinement. The upper mezzanine houses a second bedroom with a king-size bed and genuinely astonishing views over the valley and rolling countryside. In the two annexes, you’ll find two more king-size beds and cosy, rustic surroundings complemented by boutique furniture and personal living spaces.

With immaculately maintained grounds, this villa sits easily within the landscape, taking you back to a simpler, more gentle time but with no compromise on the modern comforts of everyday life. With delightful features such as original rolltop baths, acres of marble, quirky and unusual furniture and of course, those incredible views, Casale Gabbro gives you an authentic Tuscan experience that you’ll never forget.
