Chianti
A restored Tuscan farmhouse among the olive groves of San Casciano, with a heated pool, private spa and Florence fifteen minutes away.
Casa Bachicche is a former Tuscan farmhouse in the hills of San Casciano Val di Pesa, fully renovated in 2026 and set within 3.7 acres of private gardens and olive groves. It sits in the northern tip of Chianti, just 9 km from the centre of Florence, with views that roll out across vineyards and cypress-lined ridges.
Eight en-suite bedrooms sleep sixteen guests, and the interiors pair beamed ceilings and limewashed walls with sculptural freestanding tubs, contemporary art and a marble-island kitchen built for cooking together. Outside there is a heated pool beneath a vine-covered pergola, a hot tub, long shaded dining terraces, and a separate spa building with a fully equipped gym and private Turkish bath. Villa Tavernaccia is 500 metres away, so the two can be rented together for up to 32 guests.

Property

Two living rooms on the ground floor, one with a large fireplace and one opening onto a dining area that seats twelve. At the heart of the house is a cooking-school kitchen with a long marble island and professional stainless-steel shelving, designed for cooking classes and big family dinners. Beamed ceilings, limewashed walls and oak floors run throughout, with contemporary artwork in almost every room.

Eight en-suite bedrooms across two floors: three on the ground floor and five upstairs. Several suites have sculptural freestanding bathtubs, and two have four-poster beds (see Rooms).

A heated swimming pool under a wisteria and vine pergola, a hot tub, landscaped gardens, olive groves, and covered terraces with two long dining tables and two outdoor lounges. Barbecue, pizza oven and private parking.
Wellness
A separate spa building with a fully equipped gym, a private Turkish bath and a treatment room — arched windows frame the olive groves while you work out.

Chianti
A morning at a small Chianti Classico producer — Castello di Ama, Felsina, Fontodi, or a family estate without a sign on the road. Cellar tour, four wines, and lunch with the winemaker.
Chianti
A nonna and a long wooden table. Fresh pici, ribollita, tiramisu, and a bottle of the house red. Half a day, ending with the meal you made.
Chianti
An hour east toward Casentino with a truffaio and his Lagotto Romagnolo. Two hours of slow walking in the woods, then truffle pasta for lunch at the farm.
Chianti
The two-lane road from Florence to Siena that threads through every postcard view of Chianti. Sixty kilometres, half a day if you stop for lunch, a whole day if you stop for tastings.
Chianti
Late October and early November. Pick olives in the morning, watch them go into the press in the afternoon, taste the green-gold oil within hours of pressing.
Chianti
Saturday and Tuesday mornings in Piazza Matteotti. Cheeses, cured meats, fresh ricotta, vegetables from the surrounding farms — the building block of every great Tuscan dinner.
Pricing is per week, Saturday to Saturday. Diagonal cells mark changeover Saturdays — morning departure / afternoon arrival.
Available Booked Changeover (Saturday)
