At a glance: Casa Lilia sleeps 8 in 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms in Chianti, Tuscany. Pool: its own fenced saltwater pool (9 × 4 m, 1.3 m deep) in a private garden, open mid-May to mid-October.
The essence
Casa Lilia is the guest house of Villa Castellaro, a fifteenth-century estate in the Chianti hills above Tavarnelle Val di Pesa — renovated in a calm, pared-back style. Four double bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, open-plan living and dining under pale beams, a veranda and a large terrace look out over the olive groves, with a private garden and a fenced saltwater pool. Let on its own, or with the villa next door for up to twenty-one.

The villa
Architecture & restoration
You enter on the first floor into an open-plan space: a kitchen and a long dining table beneath a picture window, and a living room with deep sofas and views across the olive trees. Four double bedrooms — doubles and twins, all with their own bathroom — are finished in white and stone, three of them in a glass-walled wing that opens onto the garden. A veranda and a large terrace carry living outside, and every room is air-conditioned. A welcome basket is waiting on arrival, and the house is cleaned midweek and every Saturday.
The setting
Land, view, context
