About this property

La Fornace, San Casciano in Val di Pesa, Florence and Chianti

Once an industrial building with kilns, this extraordinary villa now combines historic charm with modern comfort. Set in the picturesque Val d’Elsa countryside, La Fornace is surrounded by olive groves, woodland and vineyards, ensuring complete privacy. It is the perfect choice for couples seeking a relaxing stay in an authentic Tuscan setting. Some of Tuscany’s most famous sights are within easy reach.



The nearby village of Tavarnelle Val di Pesa, about 6 km away, offers a Coop supermarket, small shops and restaurants. The charming medieval hilltop town of San Casciano is also close by, with further shops and places to dine. Wine enthusiasts will enjoy visiting the renowned Marchesi Antinori winery, just ten minutes away by car, where tastings and lunch at the Rinuccio 1180 restaurant can be enjoyed on a terrace overlooking the vineyards. Memorable day trips include Florence, San Gimignano, Volterra and Siena.

La Fornace sits peacefully in the countryside and features a façade of brick and natural stone. The fully private garden includes a well-kept lawn, terracotta flower boxes and a covered terrace for al fresco dining. Guests can enjoy table tennis, a whirlpool and the pool. In the evening, the surrounding pine and cypress trees are softly illuminated, creating a magical atmosphere.



The single-storey villa has been carefully restored. Wooden beamed ceilings and terracotta floors have been preserved, while skylights and large windows fill the open-plan living, dining and kitchen area with natural light. Traces of the building’s original use as a historic site remain visible, giving the stylish and comfortable interior its distinctive character.

Ein Traum, Lage und Garten

Der Garten mit kleinem Pool und neuem Jacuzzi ist ein Traum. Die Anlage ist in einem kleinen Wäldchen versteckt, gibt aber einen freien Blick auf die wunderschöne Umgebung. Der Rasen perfekt, dank Bewässerungssystem. Dies alles ist dem Preis angemessen. Preis/Leistung stimmt unseres Erachtens bei Folgendem nicht: WLAN völlig ungenügend. Kein Ersatztoilettenpapier und gerade mal 2 Tabs für Geschirrspühler. Das Haus ganz allgemein dürfte besser gepflegt werden. Am Abreisetag konnte der Garten nicht mehr genutzt werden, da bereits um 8 Uhr mit den Gartenarbeiten begonnen wurde. Schade. Am Ende wurden noch 60 Euro für Stromverbrauch kassiert. Bei der hohen Miete hinterlässt dies einen falen Beigeschmack.

Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich die Zeit genommen haben, Ihr Feedback zu hinterlassen. Unsere Ferienhäuser sind für die Selbstversorgung vorgesehen und sind daher nur mit der Grundausstattung der nötigsten Artikel ausgerüstet. Die Stromkosten sind auf der Seite der Unterkunft und in den Unterlagen vermerkt und es tut uns leid, wenn dieses nicht klar ersichtlich war. Aufgrund der Abgelegenheit des Ferienhauses ist es leider nicht möglich, die Wifi-Stärke zu erhöhen. Wir hoffen, dass Sie trotzdem einen schönen Urlaub in der Toskana hatten und Sie können sich gerne wieder an uns wenden, wenn wir Ihnen in Zukunft behilflich sein können.
