Overview

La Casaccia belongs to the son of one of the owners. He has transformed the former stables of his house into a comfortable house with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. He is a painter and the house has an artistic touch to it which makes it different from the other houses on the estate.The vicinity between the yellow house belonging to the owner and the former stables does not preclude the privacy of both houses. A difference in level of the ground separates both buildings effectively. 

  CAsacciahas been completely refurbished in 2009 and has become a perfect retreat for family holidays; heaven for children, with a playground area with sand in the garden and a pool shared with the owners 3 children.

Here you will find space, lightness and essential furnishing, an assemblage put together by the owner and his wife over the last years. At the centre of the house are the kitchen and the large living room, both overlooking the Orcia Valley - a view which will never stop giving you strong impressions.

In the garden there’s a table for meals outside. Paths leading from the house invite you to wonderful walks through the property and beyond.

You will be interested in the history of the house, especially if you have read Iris Origo’s book War in Val d’Orcia. The farmers who lived here during World War II became involved with the partisans living in the forests around La Foce and their house was used for secret meetings and as a deposit for minor weapons.
