Description

Property Summary

Villa Irma is an exquisitely renovated vacation rental nestled in the heart of Casciana Terme, in the celebrated Pisan hills of Tuscany, Italy. Recently restored with meticulous attention to every detail, this three-floor residence embodies the elegance of French Art Nouveau style, expressed through its dove grey and ivory exterior walls and stylised rinceaux motifs adorning the windows and glass doors. Indoors, the design journey unfolds through elegant forms, pure colours, and contemporary objets d'art, with luxurious custom-made furniture inspired by refined modernity, exclusive upholstery, and carefully curated accessories that together create an atmosphere of warmth and exceptional comfort. Prestigious Italian herringbone parquet flooring graces the bedrooms and living areas, while the minimalist bathrooms feature king-size showers, suspended fixtures, and original marble slabs sourced from the renowned Carrara quarries. The kitchen presents a total white décor combined with white lacquered wood furniture and a black alabaster worktop of contemporary lines. Decorative stucco ceilings add dynamism and elegance throughout, completing a residence of truly high-profile architectural distinction.

Villa Irma benefits from a fully enclosed park of 1,100 sq m, ensuring complete privacy despite its central location within the town. The property offers a heated swimming pool, a beautifully landscaped yard planted with larches, cypresses, viburnums, rose bushes, hydrangeas, and hibiscus, as well as uncovered parking for up to 4 cars conveniently located near the laundry room. Wireless internet connection is available throughout the property, ensuring guests remain connected during their stay.

Outdoors

The 1,100 sq m park of Villa Irma is laid out in a revisited Baroque style, with large areas of lawn interspersed with sandstone, grit, and gravel paving. Majestic larches and cypresses provide generous natural shade, while viburnums, rose bushes, hydrangeas, and hibiscus add colour and fragrance throughout the seasons. A large Baroque fountain featuring horses and shells welcomes guests at the main entrance, and stone statues are thoughtfully integrated throughout the grounds, lending the garden an impressive and distinguished character. The entire property is fully enclosed: along the sides bordering neighbouring buildings, a perimeter wall is softened by bamboo plants and vines, while the sides facing the road and avenue are bordered by railings and hedges of young red robin photinias, typical of noble residences. From the road, an automatic entrance gate leads to a stabilised white gravel driveway connecting to the parking area. A separate pedestrian gate opens onto the tree-lined avenue that links the villa to the spa along a pleasant walk through the residential area of Cafaggio.

The swimming pool is situated on the same level as the ground floor, approximately 30 metres away, reached via the gravel driveway and lawn and then up a few stone steps. The rectangular pool measures 5 x 10 metres, with a depth ranging from 1.50 to 2.20 metres. It features a marble grit edge, sand-coloured PVC lining, chlorine purification, a metal ladder, and 6 Roman steps for water access. The pool can be heated on request and is open from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October. The non-slip stone-paved solarium is equipped with umbrellas, sunbeds, and a solar shower. Adjacent to the pool, a romantic gazebo in stone and wisteria with wrought iron furnishings and an outdoor lounge with armchairs and sofas invite guests to relax in a secluded and picturesque setting. Both the pool and solarium are equipped with lighting, and piped music enhances the atmosphere of this outdoor retreat.

The external dining area, connected directly to the interior dining room and therefore conveniently close to the kitchen, is set up with umbrellas, a barbecue, and a dining table, making it an ideal space for alfresco meals.

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

Casale Teatro is part of the organic agritourism estate of Tenuta La Mandriola, where guests have access to a rich array of on-site facilities and activities. The estate covers approximately 400 hectares, of which 100 are woodland, and features more than 10 kilometres of dirt-track nature trails suitable for walking and cycling at varying levels of difficulty. 3 birdwatching stations have been set up along these trails for nature enthusiasts. 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. A restaurant on site serves traditional local cuisine prepared in a simple and genuine style. Guests wishing to use extra services available at Tenuta La Mandriola, including the bar, restaurant, and golf club and ball rental, are required to provide a security deposit of 500 euros, payable by cash or credit card at check-in. This amount will be returned in full at the end of the stay if not used. Pets are accepted at the property subject to prior written authorisation from the owner, who must be informed of the number, size, and breed of animals before arrival. Children under 12 years of age are exempt from the tourism tax. The property borders Casale Fienile on one side and the owners' villa at the rear, from which it is separated by a hedge screen to guarantee full privacy. 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. Instead, EuropAssistance coverage is provided in case of accidental damage to the property during the stay, up to a maximum of 1,500 euros and subject to the limitations set out in the policy terms.

Distances and Attractions

The geographical position of Casale Teatro makes it an ideal base for exploring one of the most culturally and naturally rich areas of Tuscany. The Teatro del Silenzio, set within the natural amphitheatre of the Uccelliera, is located approximately 2 kilometres from the property, while the charming borgo of Lajatico with its iconic Torre Civica is visible from the panoramic pool and within easy reach. The proximity of the estate to major roads allows for quick and comfortable travel to the principal cities of Tuscany, including Volterra, San Gimignano, Pisa, Florence, Lucca, and Siena. The Etruscan Coast along the Livorno coastline, renowned for its splendid beaches and clear sea, is approximately half an hour away by car.
