An Architectural Play Between Old & New Reinvigorates this Historic Farm in Siena
Tucked away among the rolling hills of Siena's Chianti region, Casale di Cellole is a traditional Tuscan farm that's been given a thoughtful contemporary makeover. Off the beaten track (but within 15 minutes of the historic city of Siena), it retains all the charms that the region is famous for, with the luxury of modern amenities.
Surrounded by olive groves, vineyards and woodlands that are home to deer, pheasants and hares, the property is made up of the main house, several converted barns, a lovely pool, and a covered barbecue area. It also has a verdant garden with bountiful herbs, succulents and seasonal flowers.
It's a perfectly secluded and peaceful location that offers endless possibilities for meanderings through both the garden and the woods, as well as dining al fresco. The restoration strikes an elegant balance between historical architecture and modern luxuries, interior and exterior. Large airy rooms boast high ceilings, a rotating collection of art, and found treasures.
Choose from Canopy, the most secluded and private barn, which has three levels connected by a steel staircase, three bedrooms, and panoramic glass doors; Africa, another independent barn with one bedroom, striking stone walls and an imposing central column; River, the largest apartment with three bedrooms, private garden, and sweeping vistas; Moon, a two-bedroom apartment accessed by a brick staircase within the main courtyard; and Zoo, a one-bedroom apartment with private garden and dining table under a romantic bloomng trellis. Please see individual units for further details.
