Casaccia was originally built as the stables of a farmhouse, designed by the architect Cecil Pinsent, who also created the La Foce gardens. The main house belongs to the son of Donata Origo, a painter who is living there with his wife and their three children. The old stables were renovated and used by the owner as his artistic studio until last year.

Then the family decided to change this intimate place of art into a modern and comfortable holiday house, which offers a warm and friendly atmosphere and a beautiful view over the Orcia valley.

The Casaccia is completely separated from the main house which ensures the privacy with a private terrace for meals outside and sunbathing in the summer. As guests of Casaccia you are welcome to use the private pool (mt. 12 x 6) of the main house, as well as the playground area with sand in the garden. A perfect place for kids! Paths leading from the house invite you to wonderful walks through the property and beyond. A typical Tuscan wood burning oven can be used for pizza nights or for baking your own fresh bread.

The house has just been renovated and furnished by the family, who carefully selected the design of each room. A charming mix of modern comfort and typical Tuscan furnishings gives the bright rooms a very individual note. From the private terrace, you can enter directly the spacious living area of the house. Two cozy sofas invite to relax and the open kitchen with the dining table offers a perfect location for family dinners and cooking events. The house has two double bedrooms and one twin bedroom, each with their own bathroom.

Casaccia lies about 300 mt. south of Chiarentana, where the guests can have dinner three times a week.
