About this property

Apartment Torre. Beautiful garden, AC, 2 bedrooms 1 bathroom, near the sea.

La Casa Toscana is a beautifully restored 18th century Tuscan country house located on ‘The Wine Road’ between Castagneto Carducci and Bolgheri.
The property has two levels:
- the bottom, where my family lives and where I teach my cooking classes.
- the top, where TWO spacious apartments, with independent entrance and equipped with AIR CONDITIONING, are rented for holidays.

APARTMENT TORRE is located on the upper level of La Casa Toscana and it’s great for two couples or families with up to 3 kids, as there are two large bedrooms where is possible to add an extra bed.
The apartment is 90 mq (970 square feet) with a big living room 25 mq (270 square feet), a well equipped kitchen and 2 spacious bed rooms. The apartment is furnished with our family’s antique pieces to give you the same personal feeling that we have in our own home. The apartment overlooks the medieval tower and the Tuscan countryside ending into the Mediterranean sea.
Air conditioning and wifi connection are provided for free.

THE PROPERTY: The property is dominated by the medieval village of Castagneto Carducci famous for top class vineyards, rolling hills and incredible cycling roads. It’s a perfect position for a holiday: several sandy beaches few minutes drive away, cypress-lined cycling routes, tiny villages nestled between the sea and the hills. Everything is very close even though we are in the countryside and the property is ideal for a family vacation, relaxing or an active holiday!

THE GARDEN: The property is surrounded by one hectare (1/4 acre) garden with an olive orchard, fruit trees, fresh herbs and typical plants of the Mediterranean. The garden is equipped with dining tables and chairs. In several strategic points around the garden, comfortable sitting areas have been arranged, equipped with deckchairs and armchairs, perfect for simply relaxing in complete peace and quiet. It is the ideal place to spend many magic moments with your family or friends. For fun, visit our recreational area where we have a bocce ball court and a foosball table equipped with outdoor lighting. Adults and children alike will enjoy this area and our large back lawn where all can play with our three friendly cats and loving dog. There is a parking place in the shade, very comfortable when it is hot.

THE BEACH: The beach is only 7 km away. It’s also possible to ride your bicycle to the beach through very safe small country roads.

THE AREA: The village of Castagneto is reachable in twenty minutes walking from the house or 5 min driving. This quiet and charming village offers all the services (pharmacy, bank with ATM, etc.) and little restaurants to taste a delicious bruschetta served with a glass of wine from a local producer.

Donoratico, 4 km from the property, offers big supermarkets, all kind of shops and the railway station to get to the main cities (Rome, Pisa, Florence, etc.). Siena, Pisa, Florence, Volterra, San Gimignano and many other beautiful destinations are about 1-2 hours away by car, perfect for a day trip. There are few sandy beaches, and our favorite is very safe for children with shallow water for many meters.

Bolgheri, 8 km from the property, is an enchanting hamlet with bars and restaurants, for your morning coffee or special dinners.

THE WINE: We live in a wine region where some of the most famous Super Tuscan wines are produced just few km from our property. We can help you to organize a visit to world-class vineyards and cellars, learn about the prestigious Bolgheri DOC region and enjoy superb wines.

MY FAMILY: We live at the bottom level of the farmhouse and I teach Italian cooking classes. My husband lives between Chamonix and Tuscany, and he is always ready to give you all the information to enjoy the area. We are passionate cyclists, and this area is famous for cycling. We can help you to find the perfect roads!

COOKING CLASSES: We would love you and your party to join one of our cooking classes. Our classes are completely hands-on, where you will be involved in every stage, making everything from scratch and having a great introduction to Italian culinary traditions and cuisine.

This is the perfect place for food, wine and cycling enthusiasts!

A little paradise ♡
We had the most wonderful time at this charming Tuscan apartment. The space was spacious, comfortable, and located just above the hosts' home, giving it a cozy yet private feel. The hosts were incredibly welcoming, greeting us with warmth and passion for their beautiful region. They provided us with a wealth of information about the best places to visit, hidden gems, and local traditions, making our experience truly special. A highlight of our stay was participating in the olive harvest at the casa—it was an unforgettable and authentic experience. This place is truly a little paradise in Tuscany, and we can't wait to return!

An incredibly experience in Tuscany. The location is so convenient and picturesque because it is 1 minute off the Bolgheri wine road. The apartment and spacious property are charming and well -maintained. The outdoor spaces among the olive grove is perfect for a meal or glass of wine. The host and her partner were friendly , helpful and knowledgeable. I will return!

Castagneto Carducci
We had a fantastic stay at Chicca's apartment rental in Castagneto Carducci! The apartment was very easy to find and Chicca was very easy to contact and communicate with. She gave us a long list of recommendations for things to do, places to eat, etc. before we arrived, which we found extremely helpful. Parking was very easy and the apartment was spacious and clean. Chicca took genuine interest in our plans and we could tell she really wanted us to have a great time. We felt at home while staying with her! We look forward to going back again in the future and spending more time there!

La Dolce Vita!!
Our 3 weeks in La Casa Toscana were a dream come true! We were welcomed with such warmth and hospitality that our weariness quickly subsided and we enjoyed our vacation from that moment we arrived in Castagneto. Apartments were beautifully designed, comfortable, clean with all amenties promised in the description. Chicca and Arnaud were gratious hosts, answering every questions, solving any problem or concern, and (most delightfully) recommending the best Tuscany has to offer. I highly recommend this property for anyone wanting an authentic, dolce vita experience of one of the most stunning areas of the world. Especially great for our family (my son, my wife and her family) I truly recommend this place for families. I also recommend booking Chicca's cooking classes: it was a wonderful experience to make pasta from scratch and collaborate on an authentic delicious Tuscan meal and then enjoy it in the shade of their lovely patio. I will be booking our stay for next year within the next couple of weeks ( a year ahead of time) and we plan on returning every year!!

Tutto perfetto. Soggiorno da sogno. Il posto è bellissimo e i proprietari sono gentilissimi ed i loro consigli si sono rivelati perfetti! L’appartamento è grande e spazioso e tutto funziona, il giardino ed il parco sono bellissimi e la zona in generale è perfetta. Cittadine e paesi bellissimi, spiagge meravigliose. Se avete un cane è una delle zone più accoglienti in Italia. Consigliatissimo!

Sehr schöne, familäre Unterkunft in super Lage
Das Haus und seine Vermieter empfingen uns warmherzig und gemütlich. Die Wohnung bietet alles was man braucht, das dazugehörige Grundstück ist riesig mit viel Platz für alles mögliche. Die beiden Hofhunde sind ganz liebe Tiere mit einem freundlichen Charakter. Tolle Städte wie Pisa und Florenz sind nach kurzer Zeit zu erreichen und auch der Alltags Einkauf lässt sich vor Ort problemlos erledigen. Lecker Essen gehen ist für ca 70,- Eur für 4 Personen auch kein Problem.

Appartamento in villa con padroni di casa al piano terra e altro appartamento adiacente. Giardino immenso con tavoli e sdraio. Alcuni accorgimenti lo renderebbero più accogliente oltre che una necessaria rinfrescata. Non adatta a chi ha paura dei cani.

Great relaxing place
We had 10 really nice days here in June. The spacious accommodation is tastefully decorated and equipped with everything needed. Good mattraces and effective mosquito nets in the windows. The garden is huge and offers plenty of nice places to relax and play. Our kids enjoyed to play there and our dog was as happy as can be due to the dogs Birra and Frida who welcomed her as a new friend. Chicca and Arnaud have been extremely friendly, relaxed and helpful. (Thank you! We are looking forward to our next stay at your wonderful place :-))

Super schöner Urlaub mit Hund⭐⭐⭐
Ja, was soll ich sagen... Wir waren 3 Personen und 1 Hund (Golden Retriever). Die Ferienwohnung (Torre) war genau wie beschrieben. Schöne Einrichtung. Alles da was man so braucht. Wir haben nichts vermisst. Prima sauber! Der Empfang war sehr nett. Und wenn wir Fragen hatten, waren wir immer gut beraten. Hunde sind herzlich willkommen. Und wie bei andreren Rezessionen erwäht, findet man dort ein Hundeparadies vor. Riesiger, eingezäunter Garten. Auch die 2 Hunde der Vermieter waren sehr freundlich und haben sich mit unserer Hündin prima vertragen. Im Garten gibt es sehr viele Sitz- und Liegemöglichkeiten. Es ist ein ruhiger Aufenthaltsort. Man ist schnell am Meer oder in wunderschönen Dörfern wie z. B. Bolgheri. Ja, wir haben diesen Urlaub sehr genossen! Und waren nicht das letzte Mal dort😊
