The elegance of this home will immediately strike visitors, finished with the white stone which is characteristic of the region, it offers an abundance of original features such as stone fireplace and locally handcrafted ceramic tiles.
The outdoor spaces are sublime at the Casolare; the pool is set within a chic terrace which offers a beautifully covered pergola, with billowing curtains and ample space for a relaxed group meal as the sun softens over the landscape. Imagine sitting back after a busy day, with a good holiday book, or a cold glass of beer. This is a tranquil, romantic spot when illuminated at night, awash with a sense of the ancient surroundings and timelessness of the location.
There is an outdoor kitchen which is fully equipped with barbecue, sink and stove; outdoor living is a seamless and tasteful affair at the Casolare, and for an added note of luxury guests can arrange a catered meal while they sit back and relax.
