Holiday house in Lajatico with pool, in Toscane

The Ultimate Local Experience of Tuscan Hospitality

Perched atop a hill in the heart of the Valdera, Il Casino offers a majestic view over the breathtaking Tuscan countryside. This beautifully renovated podere (farmhouse) is surrounded by woods and wheat fields, inviting you to take peaceful, scenic walks. In the midst of this tranquil setting, a charming swimming pool awaits—perfect for full relaxation.

Il Casino is run by the Ripanucci family, renowned for their warm hospitality and deep love for the region. They also manage several other agriturismos in the area. As a guest, you have exclusive access to their cozy restaurant, located just 2 km away. Here, you can savor the authentic flavors of Tuscany: homemade olive oil, wine, cheese, and honey—all produced on their own farm.

A Region Steeped in History

Tuscany is rich in cultural and historical landmarks, and Il Casino is the perfect base from which to explore them. Just a short drive away is Lajatico, home to the famous Teatro del Silenzio—an open-air theatre founded by Andrea Bocelli. The world-famous tenor performs here annually, but even outside concert dates, the site is well worth a visit for its beauty and atmosphere.

Also nearby is Volterra, a city that proudly showcases its centuries of history. Its origins trace back to the Etruscan civilization, richly documented in the local museum. The Roman, Medieval, and Renaissance eras have also left clear marks throughout the city—in its monuments, architecture, and unique ambiance.
