From the owner

One hour from Rome, 1.5 hours from Florence, and 350 meters above sea level on a nature-made terrace sits the beloved Casale Prato delle Coccinelle: sustainable farmhouse retreat, organic olive estate, and unforgettable getaway for 8.

FIRST, THE VIEW

From golden sunsets on the olive groves to night skies brimming with stars, our farmhouse presents one incredible panorama after another.

But the near-infinite view from the terrace is the most exceptional of them all.

Select a bottle of wine, head to the terrace’s al fresco dining table, and savor a quiet moment overseeing an incredible landscape of rivers, lakes, mountains, and the towns of Ancient Etruria.

SUMMER WEEK GUESTS

Where you occupy the entire property:

BEDROOM & BATHS

Four bedrooms at Casale Prato delle Coccinelle each have their own complete, new bathroom decorated with handmade Assisi tiles. All bedrooms boast magnificent views and their own distinctive color scheme inspired by the natural world surrounding us here.

::The Zafferano Suite:: King-size bed (handmade in Brazil); large adjacent bath.

::The Celeste Suite:: King-size ‘baldacchino;’ ensuite bath with shower; enter through the library.

::The Salvia Suite:: Upstairs honeymoon suite; king-size 'baldacchino;' meditation space; large ensuite bath.

::'Rosa Suite:: Both a living room and a bedroom, thanks to a Parisian sofa that converts to 2 single beds or 1 double bed.

GATHERING

Take a dip in a sparkling pool, tucked into the 3000 sq. m. garden and set before the countryside panorama.

Inside, rack up at a 1950s handmade Marani billiards table from Sienna in the billiards room. A fireplace and flat-screen television add to the room’s relaxed ambiance. Retreat to the piano room and play a 1930's Pleyel 'mezzacode' from Paris.

Our stocked library presents another quiet space.

CUISINE

Eating well is a given at Casale Prato delle Coccinelle.

Sample our estate’s simple pleasures, from the local wine collection in our cellar and extra-virgin olive oil from our groves, to the fresh herbs and organic fruits and vegetables from our garden.

Our kitchen—a former bread bakery—holds a place of honor in the house. The fireplace marks the opening of the original bread oven, and we re-opened the bread cooling window to let in the incredible view.

Serious chefs will feel at home here, with SMEG appliances including a 6-fire stove/convection oven, an electric pizza oven.
