Casa Farsetti - Exclusive villa with private pool between Siena and Florence

Casa Farsetti estate has been included inside the historical gazzette named 'Valdelsa Viva' among the forty cultural itineraries in the Valdelsa area, and it is located in the same site where once was the old Pieve(the name comes from the latin word plebs that means people's church).
The church had been consecrated Collegiata by Pope Innocenzo II in 1136, when , due to the schism, he was forced to leave Rome and was welcome by Pievano Bianco.
The property was partially ruined during the decades, then became a convent and was finally turned in to the priest's house during the 70th century, at that time,in 1706, they built the small curch,Cappella, that
is next to the main house,in memory of the Pieve.

The estate is one of the few that still keeps all the traces of the ancient times and its fascination.
It lies in the charming tuscan hills, sorrounded by cypresses, olive trees and vineyards.
The house has three floors: on the first floor there's a big kitchen with fireplace,living room , dining room and cellar.
On the second floor there's and ancient kitchen with a big fireplace, living room, library with fireplace and bed, two bathrooms(one with the thub, the other with the shower).
The third floor has four double bedrooms.

The owners live there now and then during the winter time, so it is completely furnitured with antique stuff.
The place is sorrounded by 30.000 square meters of land, in a very secluded and safe neighbourood, with a 6 x 12 private pool.
It is 2km from Castelfiorentino centre(Firenze) a nice town in the heart of Valdelsa, that has shops, supermarkets, a museum, hospital, railway station
with trains leaving for all the main destinantions(Siena30km.Firenze 45km,Pisa 45km,Livorno 55k)and all the tuscan coast.

Wonderful stay in Tuscany
We had a fantastic stay, the house has so much character and charm, and we really felt at home. We enjoyed cooking in the well equipped kitchen, chilling out in the lovely pool, which has the most amazing views of the Tuscan countryside, and using the house as a base for fantastic day trips to towns like Volterra, Sienna or Lucca. Andrea was really easy to communicate with and was extremely helpful when one of our family members was ill. Highly recommend staying here!

Historic Tuscan Villa
We enjoyed the large comfortable space, including the separate building next to the villa that features a lovely covered outdoor space. The villa is set in the hills around Castelfiorentino, where a large Coop has excellent food and drink selections. The owner, Andrea Farsetti, was very responsive to messages and helped with recommendations on restaurants, orienting us to the property, and making us feel at ease. The property also features grapes that are used for making Andrea's three wines, olive trees that are harvested for oil, and fig, pomegranate, and lime trees.

Dreamy, authentic, family friendly Tuscan villa and pool, secluded, but close to shops
We spent a very relaxing two weeks at this beautiful old home, which was an ideal spot to "get away from it all" while being able to do easy day trips to Florence, San Gimignano, Volterra, Siena and the secret gem that is Certaldo. There's a Coop grocery store 10 minutes away in Castelfiorentino. The house and pool feel very private, with lovely views and charming spots in the grounds for meals and picnics. The pool has no fence but if your kids are swimming a bit it is fun for them as there is more shallow than deep. The house feels very authentic and it's easy to imagine living there in another era - in a good way! The library was perfect for passing a few hours in the heat of the day. The kitchen is well kitted out, but still enjoys a lovely old marble sink. Andrea, the host, arranged a cookery class at the house, which the whole family enjoyed. The chef was very sweet with the kids who lovely rolling out the pasta etc. Comfortable beds and nice linen made sure we slept well. Andrea, was relaxed and helpful and popped by every few days to check on us, clean the pool etc. but didn't interfere or feel intrusive. He also booked us into a local agritourismo for a dinner one evening. We were very sad to leave and definitely hope to return to what felt like the dream Tuscan holiday.

Schönes altes Anwesen - sehr netter Vermieter
Es ist ein sehr schönes, geschmackvoll renoviertes altes Haus. Der sehr nette Vermieter wohnt auf dem Grundstück mit seiner Freundin. Beide sind sehr diskret und lassen genügend Privatsphäre, sodass man den Pool und das weitläufige Grundstück ungestört genießen kann. Bei Problemen ist Andrea sofort tatkräftig zur Stelle. Die Küche und das Haus sind sehr gut ausgerüstet - selbst Mückenschutz hat er zur Verfügung gestellt. Die Lage des Anwesens eignet sich optimal, um von dort viele verschiedene Städte, wie z. B. Siena und Florenz, schnell erreichen zu können. Wir haben den Urlaub sehr genossen.

Scorching hot but quintessential Tuscany off the beaten track
Anyone up for an authentic country visit to a house steeped in history (including ancient steep stairways and open fireplaces) will appreciate this property. Renovated with an artsy vibe, wonderful pool, bug-screens to keep out the mosquitoes - just beware that modern luxury (airconditioning, polished hardwood floors) should not be expected. Mix with locals at the market in Castelfiorentino on Saturdays- fresh produce alongside household Knick-Knacks and boho clothing! Thank you to our host Andrea

Casa Farsetti - bella Toscana
Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit in Castelfiorentino. Leider fanden wir das Haus überteuert. Die Casa Farsetti ist ein sehr altes rustikales Haus - wunderschön - muss jedoch dringend "entstaubt" werden. Vintige ist top modern aber bitte ohne Ramsch und vor allem bitte sauber und ohne 10 jährigen Staub. Keine Kaffeemaschine, Kühlschrank der eine Pütze macht. Sehr, sehr steile Treppe ins Obergeschoss. Wunderschöner Pool! Andrea unser Host war nett. Er wohnt im Stallo neben dem Haus, immer präsent aber nicht aufdringlich. Ein italienischer Lebenskünstler.

Wir haben es genossen!
Wir (6 Erwachsene, 2 Kleinkinder, 1 Baby und ein Hund) haben unseren Aufenthalt in der Casa Farseti sehr genossen. Das charmante, historische Haus ist sehr geräumig und bietet auch für eine grosse Gruppe, wie wir es waren, genügend Rückzugsmöglichkeiten. Die Küche ist soweit gut ausgestattet. Wir empfehlen jedoch Küchentücher und -Lappen mitzunehmen, ebenfalls eine Grundausstattung an Gewürzen (sofern man sie nicht lokal einkaufen will). Casa Farseti liegt ideal für Ausflüge im Dreieck Firenze, Siena, Pisa. Sehr gute Einkaufsmöglichkeiten finden sich in Castelfiorentino (ca 15 Minuten entfernt). Unser Aufenthalt dauerte vom 3.-12. Juli 2023. In dieser Zeit war es sehr heiss (bis 38 Grad). Der prächtige Pool war daher eine willkommene Abkühlung. In den Schlafzimmern hat es 2 Ventilatoren, trotzdem waren die Nächte sehr warm. Die Toscana ist bekannt für ihre Mücken. Daher empfiehlt es sich für den Aufenthalt draussen Mückenschutzmittel mitzubringen. Das Haus ist prima mit Mückenschutzgittern ausgerüstet. Wenn man etwas achtsam ist, hat man im Haus praktisch keine Mücken. Bei Fragen haben uns Andrea und Maria-Virginia sehr hilfsbereit und unkompliziert unterstützt. Wir haben in der Ausschreibung festgestellt, dass auch ein privater Kochservice angeboten wird. Diesen Service haben wir an zwei Abenden genutzt und wurden mit vorzüglicher toskanischer Küche verwöhnt. Wir können dieses Angebot sehr empfehlen.

Very nice vacation
The house is charming, the pool is awesome, the location is in a good spot to discover Siena, Pisa, Florence and the coast - everything is just an hour away by car. Andrea is a super friendly and helpful host. We were looking for a relaxed vacation to recharge our batteries. This was the perfect vacation for this purpose.
