From the owner

The villa sits on the side of the hill overlooking the town & the river valley. Higher up on the hill is the Castel San Niccolo which gives its name to the district. Casa Castello is constructed of local stone & the origins of the house date back to the 13th century when it was the servants quarters to the castle.

The Casentino district is famous historically as the home of painter Piero della Francesca, for the battle of Anghiari, as birthplace of Michelangelo and site of the Franciscan abbey at la Verna. Its local cuisine features wild game including wild boar, hare & rabbit as well as being a distinctive wine growing district where you can travel the "Strada da Vini".

The town boasts a local swimming hole & picnic spot on the river & swimming pool, and a 9 hole golf course in only 5K away in Poppi. The town is well serviced with shops, butchers, fruiterers, banks & a weekly market.

Further details

Access from the bottom of the hill is limited to pedestrian access or small 4 wheel drive or quad bike. You will need a reasonable level of physical fitness to walk the path into the property.

Further details indoors

The villa offers complete privacy and is located in extensive grounds with gated entry. There are 2 double bedrooms upstairs and a downstairs bedroom with 3 single beds (as is usual in Italy all double beds will separate to become twins & 2 singles can be combined to become a double).

The lounge room overlooks the town & the river and each of the bedrooms have sweeping views of the valley.


The kitchen is fully equipped with oven & cooktop, pantry, cooking implements & crockery for everyday use & more formal dining. Kitchen has table & chairs for 4 & an open fireplace.

Bathroom has a bath with shower over the bath, toilet & bidet and a separate laundry has trough & washing machine. Dining room has table & chairs to seat 10.

Further details outdoors

The villa has a huge outdoor terrace area which overlooks the town & the river valley with sweeping panoramic views. The grounds are extensive and totally private with a lockable gated entry.

The block is on the side of the hill and has some steep sections & is heavily wooded. While it is an adventure playground for older children it is not recommended for small children as some sections of the pathways are unfenced with steep drop offs.

    Response from the owner
    We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Casa Castello and made the most of the lovely Casentino district. The weather was strangely changeable this year but sounds like you coped and made it work for you. Hopefully you may be able to have a return holiday sometime soon.
