CASALE IL CANTAGALLO

Nestled in a silent valley in the heart of the Chianti hills, Casale il Cantagallo embodies the perfect harmony between tradition and modernity. This architectural gem, sensitively restored by its current owners—an Italian architect and his Australian wife—is a celebration of the timeless beauty of the Tuscan countryside, seamlessly blended with contemporary comfort. Just 20 minutes from magnificent Siena, an hour from Florence, and five minutes from a charming village with its excellent trattoria, the estate offers absolute tranquillity without sacrificing life’s pleasures.

History and legend intertwine within these walls: once home to a renowned American writer and the filming location for the BBC series Summer’s Lease, the farmhouse has been transformed into an oasis of refinement. The restoration, respectful of the original architecture, has enhanced every detail—from the handcrafted terracotta floors to the gourmet kitchen with its travertine island, wine cellar, and high-end appliances.

A Space Designed for Harmony

Beyond the classic Italian entrance loggia, the interiors unfold with understated elegance: a double living room with a fireplace, a bright dining area, and a state-of-the-art kitchen where five French doors open onto the garden. Here, an oakwood pergola invites guests to linger over long meals as the sunset bathes the hills in gold.

Upstairs, a second living area with herringbone parquet flooring and another fireplace invites relaxation, alongside a covered loggia—perfect for admiring the view or enjoying an aperitivo to the sound of the stream winding through the estate’s 50 hectares.

The Bedrooms: Sanctuaries of Understated Luxury

The five suites, each with king-size beds and air conditioning, are intimate havens of comfort. The first-floor master suite, with a fireplace and spa-like bathroom (freestanding tub and double shower), opens onto the loggia, blurring the lines between indoors and out. Two additional bedrooms with travertine ensuite bathrooms complete this level.

On the ground floor, a second master suite overlooks the olive grove, while the tower bedroom—accessed via an antique wooden staircase—offers breathtaking 360-degree views of the vineyards, a truly enchanting escape.

Between Pool and Stars

The elliptical infinity pool, heated and overlooking the valley, is the perfect place to unwind. As night falls, the outdoor fire pit becomes the stage for unforgettable evenings, with only the sound of crickets breaking the silence.

-Casale il Cantagallo is more than a home: it’s an experience that nourishes the soul. An invitation to slow down, find inspiration, and rediscover yourself in the golden light of Tuscany.
