The first of the Casali along the country road leading to the Castello, Casale La Casa, offers the first enticing glimpse of the restored farmhouses. Its pool reaches off the hilltop into a vineyard and a stately lane leads to the compound of primary and guest residences. With views in every direction, especially over rolling countryside to the southeast, this neighbor to the Castello is surely one of the great homes in all of Tuscany. The residence is large, and comfortably accommodates 8-10 family members and friends.

The La Casa main residence is organized around a long, open living area with exposed stone walls subtly sectioned off by arched doorways and windows. It is airy and open, yet very intimate. The textures are rich with barrel vaulted ceilings, wood beams, and travertine floors. At La Casa, the main residence is complemented by two beautiful guest homes, which share a common courtyard leading to the infinity-edge pool whose ledge disappears off the hilltop over the vineyards below.
