Il Casale
Il Casale (the Farm House) at Casa Nova sleeps 8-16 people (plus infants) and has its own heated pool which is open from May to September. The house is available for holiday rentals all year round.
Casa Nova means “new house” but that’s a relative term around here. In the course of the restoration in 2014 we uncovered a centuries old cobble stone floor on the ground floor, originally the cattle stalls. We used these beautifully worn stones for an outside terrace and turned the wood from the mangers into shelves and benches. The ground floor has now been transformed into living space, a beautiful internal staircase added, and the whole has been finished to a very high standard, providing spacious and luxurious accommodation for groups of up to 16 (plus infants).

Key features
The interior design of Il Casale combines the best of traditional local materials, such as chestnut, marble, terracotta and ceramics, with the elegance of modern design, for a result that is at once elegant and unfussy. We have preserved traditional architectural elements, whilst introducing energy saving technology to ensure the house is environmentally sound. The layout of Il Casale is perfect for large groups of people who want to be able to choose when to be together and when to be independent of one another. The house is airy, spacious, and light, with exceptional views towards the landmark mountain, Monte Acuto, and across the Niccone valley. The mature garden offers plenty of shade:
