Overall: Casale terme was a beautiful property set in the mountains of Tuscany. The property was located in a central location and we were able to make day trips to Lucca, Pisa, Chianti, Florence, Via Reggio, Montecatini terme. All within 1 hour. The views and sunsets were spectacular and the house was immaculate. The house also has a beautiful pool and hot tub for relaxation after sightseeing. Enjoyed Most: So clean and the views. Central location. Wonderful supermarket located 10 minutes away. Enjoyed Least: The drive to the house could be harrowing with hairpin turns- tough to do at night- also some areas of the road were poorly paved making for a very bumpy ride. Surrounding Area: Lots to see and do. Nearby Events or Locales: Montecatini terme. No you really need a car if you are staying here. The house is at the top of a mountain. Tips or Restaurants: Please make sure you check out the spas at Montecatini Terme- a hidden jewel. The house has a small washer for clothes however no dryer. You will need to dry the clothes on a clothes rack. Directions: We used Google maps and found the house ok. Check In Out: Anna the owner was lovely. She keeps an immaculate home and provided some groceries and fruits for us on arrival which was so thoughtful. However, she speaks limited English.
