Holiday house in Laiatico with pool, in Toscane

Ultimate Local Enjoyment with the Highest Level of Hospitality

Gracefully perched atop a hill in the heart of the Valdera region, Il Casino overlooks a stunning Tuscan landscape. This carefully renovated podere (country estate), complete with a beautiful swimming pool, is surrounded by woods and wheat fields, interlaced with scenic walking trails.

The Ripanucci family, who manage Il Casino along with several other agriturismos in the area, are renowned for their warm hospitality. Guests have the exclusive opportunity to dine at the family’s private restaurant, located just 2 km away. Here, regional specialties are served using local ingredients — many of them directly from the family's own farm, including olive oil, wine, cheese, and honey.

A Rich Regional History

The location of Il Casino makes it a perfect base for exploring the cultural and historical richness of Tuscany. Just a short drive away is the famous Teatro del Silenzio in Lajatico — an open-air theatre founded by Andrea Bocelli. While it hosts his world-renowned annual concerts, it is also a beautiful and peaceful spot to visit year-round.

Also nearby is the enchanting town of Volterra, where centuries of history come to life. With origins dating back to Etruscan times — vividly presented in the town’s archaeological museum — Volterra also bears the marks of the Roman, Medieval, and Renaissance periods. A true treasure trove for lovers of culture and history.

Spacious Apartment for a Relaxing Stay for Two 

The apartment is spacious and elegantly furnished. It features a large bedroom with a double bed and an en-suite bathroom. The living room includes a kitchenette and a sofa bed, which can accommodate a third guest if needed. From the living area, guests can access a private balcony — the perfect spot for a quiet breakfast or lunch with a view.
