Casanuova is idyllically located amongst olive groves, vineyards and woods. Two long buildings border the interior courtyard which is paved in natural stone; a house chapel reminds the visitor of its monastic past.
During the restoration work they took great care to preserve the simple character of the typical casa colonica. Today Casanuova looks exactly like the estates which for centuries characterized the landscape and shaped its economic structure, starting with its rich colours and continuing with the use of historical roof tiles and patinated terracotta floor tiles.
The kitchen is the heart of Casanuova. They use fresh, seasonal produce, where possible organically grown.
The fare consists of breakfast of home-made bread and jams, fresh fruit, muesli and daily surprises, as well as a full evening meal. Snacks and coffee can be ordered as required.
Together with their Italian cooks they use a lot of imagination to prepare the dishes of the season and they don't mind guests watching the chefs at work. The cooks come from the neighbourhood and cook in the same way they cook at home.
Since 1982 they have been running a strictly organic farm. The estate covers ca. 24 hectares: 8ha of forest and 15ha of agriculturally productive land, 3ha of which are used for the cultivation of vines and 5ha for olives. The wine served at Casanuova comes from their own vineyards. It is grown organically and pressed and bottled on the estate.
Despite its quiet location Casanuova lies centrally between important art-historical places of Tuscany: Florence 25 km, Arezzo 40 km, Siena 60 km, and is within easy reach of the A1 motorway. The nearest town is Figline Valdarno, a lively small town with an attractive weekly market and medieval attractions. The well-known Chianti region with places such as Greve, Gaiole and Castellina and its fine wines lies not far from the house.
