Holiday house in Lajatico with pool, in Toscane

Local Hospitality at Its Finest

Majestically situated on a hill in the Valdera region, Il Casino offers breathtaking views over the surrounding landscape. This beautifully renovated estate, a traditional Podere, features a stunning swimming pool and is surrounded by vast forests and grain fields, perfect for delightful walks. The Ripanucci family, who also manage several other agriturismos in the area, are renowned for their warm and personal hospitality. Guests also have exclusive access to the family’s restaurant about 2 kilometers away, where fresh local products as well as goods from their own farm — such as olive oil, wine, cheese, and honey — are lovingly served.

A Region Steeped in History

The Tuscan surroundings of Il Casino are rich in culture and history. It’s an ideal starting point to visit, for example, the Teatro del Silenzio in Lajatico, an open-air theater built by Andrea Bocelli. This theater hosts his world-famous annual concerts, but even outside concert days, it remains a remarkable place to explore.

Nearby lies Volterra, a town full of ancient stories. From its Etruscan roots — extensively showcased in the local museum — to traces of Roman, Medieval, and Renaissance periods, Volterra offers a fascinating glimpse into the past.

Perfect for Families or Friends

The apartment itself is perfect for both families and groups of friends. It features one bedroom with a double bed and a single bed, another bedroom with two single beds, and a sofa bed in the living room for additional guests. The living room includes a kitchenette, and there is a private bathroom, ensuring plenty of privacy and comfort during your stay.
