Description
Property Summary
Nestled in the rolling hills of Lajatico, in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, Casale Teatro is an exceptional vacation rental that draws its name and inspiration from the nearby Teatro del Silenzio, the prestigious open-air theatre set within the natural amphitheatre of the Uccelliera, located approximately 2 kilometres from the property. Built in the tradition of classic Tuscan architecture, the casale features a striking open-face stone façade, warm terracotta floors, and wooden ceiling beams that lend the interior an authentic and welcoming character. The property is part of a well-established organic agritourism estate spanning approximately 400 hectares, offering guests a rare and complete retreat in unspoilt countryside. Surrounded by approximately 800 square metres of beautifully maintained garden, the property enjoys sweeping panoramic views over the Pisan hills, the ancient Rocca di Pietra Cassia, and the picturesque borgo of Lajatico with its towering Torre Civica. Wireless internet connection is available throughout the property, ensuring guests remain connected during their stay. 2 dedicated parking areas are provided on site, one positioned in front of the main entrance and a second directly in front of the downstairs porch, both accessible from the entrance gate shared with the neighbouring Casale Fienile. The yard surrounding the property is thoughtfully landscaped, enriched with colourful blooms, broom bushes, young cypress trees, and olive trees that line the driveway and frame the pool area, creating a serene and quintessentially Tuscan setting.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Casale Teatro are designed to make the most of the extraordinary natural surroundings and the tranquil atmosphere of the Tuscan countryside. The garden of approximately 800 square metres is delimited on one side by a hedge screen that ensures privacy from the neighbouring property. Within this beautifully kept space, a gazebo fitted with a table and chairs provides a charming setting for alfresco dining in the shade. A brick-built structure housing a barbecue is positioned near the swimming pool, adding to the outdoor entertaining possibilities. A spacious lounge area is set up beneath the wide downstairs porch, offering a cool and shaded retreat during the warmer months. The non-heated swimming pool is situated just 10 metres from the house and occupies a privileged position within the garden, offering breathtaking views over the Rocca di Pietra Cassia, the Teatro del Silenzio, and the village of Lajatico. The pool measures 4 x 8 metres with a constant depth of 1.10 metres, features Roman steps, a wooden border, and PVC lining. The surrounding sunbathing area combines a stone surround directly around the pool with a grass area beyond, both equipped with comfortable sunbeds. A cold-water outdoor shower is also available in this area. The pool uses chlorine purification and is open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday of October. Please note that the property photographs were taken in spring, and therefore the blossoming of flowers and the colour of the garden grass may differ from what you will find upon arrival.
Unit Layout
Casale Teatro accommodates up to 10 guests across 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, distributed over 2 floors within a two-storey house of approximately 160 square metres. The 2 floors are not internally connected, yet both benefit from direct access to the outside, owing to the hillside position of the property on sloping ground. On the ground floor, the entrance leads into a living room with a dining area, which connects directly to a well-equipped kitchen. This level also houses 3 double bedrooms, 2 of which feature divisible beds, each with its own ensuite bathroom with shower. 1 of these bathrooms is designed to regulatory standards for guests with reduced mobility and does not include a bidet. A staircase from the kitchen descends to the covered porch on the lower level. From the porch, a French window opens into a self-contained apartment comprising a living area with a kitchenette and 2 double bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom with shower. An additional bathroom with shower, also built to regulatory standards for guests with reduced mobility, is accessible directly from the porch and incorporates the laundry area. The 2 large living areas on the ground floor are each equipped with a fireplace and are arranged for both dining and relaxation, contributing to the warm and inviting character of the interior.
Amenities Included
Casale Teatro is equipped with a comprehensive range of amenities to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Air conditioning is available in the bedrooms and in the dining room, providing a pleasant indoor climate during the warmer months. For cooler periods, heating is also available, ensuring year-round comfort throughout the property. The kitchen and kitchenette are well appointed, and a dishwasher is included for added convenience. Laundry needs are catered for by a washing machine, located in the dedicated laundry area within the lower-level bathroom. Outdoor cooking enthusiasts will appreciate the barbecue housed in the brick-built structure near the swimming pool, ideal for relaxed al fresco gatherings. Each bedroom benefits from a private patio or direct outdoor access, in keeping with the property's seamless integration between interior and exterior living. Pets are welcome at the property, subject to prior authorisation from the owner, who must be informed of the number, size, and breed of animals before arrival. The estate's commitment to organic and biodynamic farming means that the surrounding environment is entirely free from chemical treatments, adding a further dimension of wellbeing to your stay.
Other Information

A driving range is located just a few metres from the property, offering golfers a truly exclusive practice setting. The estate produces its own extra virgin olive oil and Sangiovese wine, both of which can be tasted directly in the farm cellars.

Weekly linen changes and initial and final cleaning are included in the rental rate, along with utilities covering electricity, water, gas for kitchen use, and hot water. A Zer0Dep Guarantee is applied to this property, meaning guests are not required to pay a traditional security deposit on balance or upon arrival.

In the heart of Tuscany is a small, little-known valley which few people visit but which is of great artistic and natural importance: the Valdambra which, with its wooded hills, charming old villages and precious remains of towers and castles scattered throughout the territory, lies between the ridges of the Chianti hills and the upper Valdarno, along the course of the river Ambra and cutting through the border between the provinces of Siena and Arezzo. In this picturesque setting, just a short walk from Bucine the most important town of the valley, we find Casale la Splendida, an old rural house which is the ideal place for those wanting to explore the most authentic Tuscan-ness that these charming places express and retain. The interior of the house, brought to new life by renovation in full respect of the original plan, is particularly well-finished and elegant, with exquisite fireplaces in the living areas and refined pieces of furniture that create a warm and cosy atmosphere, full of comfort and functionality. The wide green outdoor areas, the portico with lounge area, the veranda with wood stove and dining area and the large pool all combine to make it a great destination for groups of friends and families with children who love nature and the relaxed atmosphere offered by the countryside. This destination will be ideal for exploring the beautiful area around Bucine, rich in vineyards, olive groves and woods, along which meander numerous CAI (Club Alpino Italiano) hiking or mountain biking routes. The main towns of Arezzo, Florence and Siena, as well as the prestigious areas of Chianti, of the Crete Senesi and of the Val d'Orcia with their picture postcard scenery and their old, enchanting borghi, are all within easy reach. Another attraction of the area is represented by numerous designer outlets, all a short distance from the house, including Prada (just 2 km away), The Mall and Fashion Valley. N.B. The owners live discreetly in an annex about 50 m from the house and can be a useful reference point for guests to whom, however, full privacy is guaranteed.
Interior:
The house has two floors. The main entrance on the ground floor opens through a French window from the portico into a small hallway communicating with a large welcoming living room on the left, with the study/reading room and with the dining room which is, in turn, connected to the kitchen and to a short corridor (with laundry and bathroom with hydro-massage shower) which ends at the veranda with table and chairs, stone sink, oven and hob. The French window of the veranda (with mosquito netting) opens out to the external dining area, located on the side of the pool. All the ground floor rooms have French windows connecting the interior with the outdoor areas, in particular from the living room leading directly out to the portico and the external dining area. On the first floor is the sleeping area, consisting of three double bedrooms, two with ensuite bathrooms (one with hydromassage shower and tub and the other with hydromassage shower), two twin bedrooms (one with joinable beds) and, finally, a bathroom with hydromassage shower. In one of the double rooms and in one of the twin rooms is a mezzanine with wardrobe area. A\C in all bedrooms.
Park:
Casale La Splendida is set in an estate of about 3 hectares with wooded areas and areas cultivated with olive trees that produce an excellent extra virgin olive oil. From the entrance gate a short driveway lined with cypress trees takes guests to a large parking area and, from here, a short walk along stone paving leads to the main entrance and the surrounding areas. The garden around the house, with typical shrubs, borders of herbs and various colourful flowers (geraniums, roses, lavender bushes, aloes and succulents), is a peaceful green oasis in which to better appreciate the calm atmosphere of the Tuscan countryside.

The pride of this property is the veranda: a large room, flooded with light and enclosed by large windows offering a magnificent view of the town of Volterra.

The veranda overlooks the pool area from where you can admire the beautiful neighbouring landscape. The house is surrounded by a large garden where you can stroll and savour the quiet of the place.
