The estate’s namesake, the nearby village of Casole d’Elsa, was originally an Etruscan settlement dating from around 800 BC. There are also other historic sites and villages, all within a short ride or walk from the villa and guests are provided complimentary transportation if needed. The Castello di Casole has known many owners and residents since its history began, starting with an aristocratic family from Siena and then during the late twentieth century, the property was owned by famed Italian cinema director Luchino Visconti, who entertained European and Hollywood celebrities throughout the estate. The theme of clean lines and open spaces are pronounced as guests first drive up to the Villa while there is a great sense of peace within the walls that have withstood centuries of nature’s best and worst.
