Casa Rossa

If you are looking for an ideal Tuscany location that ticks off all you envisioned, this is the place. Its terracotta red walls can be seen from miles away and the views from the terrace or its windows are breathtaking and unforgettable. It is rustic and does not have elegant furnishings, but it is cozy and immaculately clean. You will definitely need a car to get around and the roads are not for the faint at heart. If you are renting a car rent the smallest model as the roads are narrow. Unfortunately, we waited to the last minute to visit the Antinori Winery, a 5-minute drive from Casa Rossa. Reservations for tours and the restaurant are made months in advance but would be so worth it. It is an architectural marvel. Florence was just a short drive away and we were in Pisa in less than an hour. The owner was very accommodating and shared the history of the casa with us along with his olive oil and Chianti endeavours on the first floor. We look at our photos and smile but they do not do the scenery justice. It has to be experienced and if you want comfortable, clean accommodations that has character and history, Casa Rossa is the perfect location.

We spent 5 amazing days in Tuscany and couldn't have asked for a better place to stay than Casa Rossa! The accommodations were outstanding and along with the beautiful scenery of the Chianti region, everything was perfect! 

We had a great time at Casa Rossa! The owner helped us with any questions and gave us valuable tips. The house is large and the terrace gives a great view of the Chianti region. We would come back anytime!

Our host met us at the property. He was very accommodating. He even brought us a bottle of wine from his own wine cellar. The views from the terrace are breathtaking. There wasn’t any air conditioning, but the nights in June got cool enough not to really need any air conditioning. I would recommend getting a fan for some white noise and air circulation. We didn’t have one and still did fine. The location was perfect for us. A lot of privacy but close enough to Florence and wineries. I would highly recommend staying here. We would stay here anytime we return. [Thank you for your suggestion, we will mention it to the owner. We look forward to working with you again! The Italy Perfect Team]

Couldn't have asked for a better location for our Tuscany trip. Wonderful place, great sights and just terrific weather. Would definitely stay again. Close to everything as well.

When we arrived, our host greeted us and showed us the house and how to operate everything. The view is to die for and a painters paradise. The home is centrally located, Florence less than 15 minutes to park and take bus to center of city, Seina about 45 minutes to old wall and park, San Giamono is so close you can ride your bike there, but is probably the most interesting place to visit. Go early for parking and shopping. Higher end shops there too. We love the quiet back country feel and restaurants, small vineyards, and markets nearby.Ciao, and drink Chanti. 

We arrived late and our hosts mother met us. She showed us around. Our host came by later to answer any of our questions. He even introduced us to his newborn son. The house is beautifully decorated and the beds were all comfortable. The view seeing the sunset in the morning was spectacular. We did have one issue on the second day. The water was turnoff due to a pipe being replaced somewhere. Our host was on it. Only issue we had with the house was the second bathroom shower/tub. Water did not come out hardly at all and the other couple staying with us had to use our shower. [Thank you for your review, we are pleased you enjoyed your recent stay and that you got to meet your host's newborn son! It was an exciting time for the family and glad that his mother was able to pitch in and help him by coming for your late arrival to welcome you, despite the lack of English, sounds like all went well! Happy that you alerted them to the water issue and it was solved promptly. Please come back again! The Italy Perfect Team]

We absolutely loved staying at this vacation rental . The location of the rental is perfect for exploring Tuscany and the surrounding areas. Anything needed to make the stay comfortable was provided and communication was great. The view from the balcony is beautiful , also from the bedrooms . Wonderful and helpful host , we were definitely impressed!

Wonderful place, great location. 

We spent 5 fantastic days in Tuscany at Casa Rossa. Our host, greeted us and gave us some wonderful suggestions for nearby shopping, restaurants, and destinations. He was extremely accommodating and very interested in making our stay memorable. He grows grapes and olives on the property. Casa Rossa was a great location for exploring Tuscany. It is remotely located, but central to Tuscany and all of our destinations were easy drives. The villa is very charming, comfortable and well kept. It is surrounded by vineyards and olive trees. The terrace is a wonderful place to start the morning or finish the day with a good local wine and some cheese. Casa Rossa is a great location to experience the Tuscany countryside and an ideal base for exploring Tuscany. The process of booking through Italy Perfect was smooth, and the instructions for our arrival were great. I would suggest a car with GPS navigation to get around, but there are groceries, restaurants, wineries close by and easy to get to.

Casa molto accogliente, c'è tutto il necessario, magnifica terrazza panoramica. Posizione isolata. Magnifica accoglienza e persone molto disponibili . Casa veramente stupenda per trascorrere del tempo rilassandosi in mezzo alle colline. Nessun tipo di problema.

Translation: The house is very welcoming and has everything you need, a magnificent terrace with a view. Private location. Wonderful welcome from the greeter who was very kind. The house is really great way to spend time relaxing in the hills. There were no problems.

Our host was very warm and welcoming, he provided us with lots of information and was very helpful. He made us feel like home, the house is beautiful full of Tuscan history. Where the house is located is quiet secluded amongst grape vines and olive trees but not too far out of town, though you will need a car. There are lots of options for dinner a restaurants and supermarkets which a 15-30 min drive. If you need to get out in nature but still be close to towns this is a perfect place. One of the best views I've come across, nothing like coffee and a croissant for breakfast with this amazing view!

When we arrived at Casa Rossa we knew that we had found the perfect villa that we had envisioned. We were warmly greeted by our host's Mother and soon thereafter our host.  The views on the deck and from every room in the villa were amazing. It was very clean, nicely decorated and very cozy. We enjoyed cooking and eating by the fireplace as well as exploring the area, and of course, sitting on the deck relaxing and enjoying our hosts complimentary wine and delicious olive oil. He gave suggestions to visit in the area and our five course lunch for two with wine pairings at the nearby Osteria di Passignano was spectacular. Thanks to our host and his family for sharing their beautiful Casa Rossa. 

After missing our flight connections and a piece of luggage we finally arrived at Casa Rossa about 11pm exhausted. Our host was waiting for us with a welcome bottle of wine, pasta and olive oil. He went through the house explaining how everything worked and gave us maps and information about driving daytrips. He was also extremely helpful in making sure someone was at the villa when the lost luggage arrived three days later. The villa itself is charming, in a wonderful location, has fantastic views, and is comfortable and clean. Perfect for two couples but there is a pullout sofa for more than 4 people. There is a large grocery store nearby where we shopped for our six day stay. After long days of sightseeing we were so happy to return to Casa Rossa, relax on the lovely patio, have a glass or two of Tuscan wine and make dinner on the bar b q. Sienna, Volterra, Radda, Greve, Brolio and Florence are all easy day trips each with it's own personality and charm. Driving can be a bit confusing and challenging but once you figure it out it is pretty straightforward. The countryside is gorgeous with spectacular views at each new turn and climb. If you are in a hurry there is always the motorway. Thank you to our hosts for sharing your part of Italy with us. We would love to come back and stay again. JB and group from Toronto Canada

Casa Rossa perfectly accommodated our family of 5. The view from the terrace was amazing and the cross-breeze you get when all the windows are opened feels great (especially after a hot day!). The craftsmanship of the interior, along with the décor is relaxing and welcoming. These were the best accommodations during our 3-week vacation in Italy. The friendly host provided suggestions for sites and local activities. We truly felt at home. We hope to return one day...

The house was nice. The hosts were nice. It's too hot in summer. Go in spring. [So pleased you enjoyed the nice house and hosts. Sorry you were hot; Italy is known for its warm summer weather. The Italy Perfect Team]

Three of us spent 4 weeks at this location. We fell in love with the villa and the surrounding grape and olive orchards. The view from the terrace is breath taking. Our host and his mother were of immense help and overly kind. We ate at many of the surrounding restaurants and found them good to excellent. The location is ideal for day trips to Florence, Siena, Venice, Rome and other locations. San Gimignano is a must see medieval town with excellent shopping. The little market in Romita served me cappuccinos every morning. Advice: Request the english satellite for the TV before arriving. Would go back in a heartbeat.

We so enjoyed staying at Casa Rossa for the following reasons: We loved getting the fresh foods and vegetables in a nearby market, cooking in the kitchen, sitting out on the villa's large terrace in the evening to drink wine and eat dinner, the long (1.5 hours) walks up and down the road that led to our villa (morning exercise), the beautiful wine vines that were very pregnant with grapes, taking day trips to nearby towns like Siena, lunches and trips to nearby wineries, making friends with, and joining up with, the "wild and crazy" Canadians in the villa next to us for drinks and dinner, discovering the tomatoes and apples in the garden area, the rain showers that helped to reduce the temperature (which was unexpectedly warm during our visit), the ease of parking in the lot directly across the street from our villa, the fresh air upon opening our windows and shutters, the great food and wine at nearby restaurants, the beauty of the terrain and sky (we even saw a double rainbow!!) from our terrace, the complimentary bottle of wine and bottle of olive oil, and the tremendous hospitality of all the Italians we met, and especially the hospitality of our villa host.
