Podere Castellare: Organic Farmhouse & Eco Resort in Tuscany
Podere Castellare is a refined Organic Farmhouse (Eco Resort) located in the hills of Pelago, just a 20-minute drive from Florence, in the heart of the Florentine Chianti region. Immersed in 35 hectares of olive groves, vineyards, and woods, the property offers an informal luxury experience that blends traditional Tuscan architecture with elements of modern design and environmental sustainability. It is the ideal destination for those seeking a holiday of relaxation, wellness, and immersion in nature, with a strong connection to the local territory and the production of organic products.
Rooms, Suites, and Apartments with Kitchenette
The Eco Resort offers various types of accommodation to meet every need. The accommodations (a total of 12 rooms, 3 suites, and 2 apartments) are stylish retreats that combine comfort and functionality. The apartments are particularly suitable for families or extended stays, as they are equipped with a practical separate living area and an equipped kitchenette. All rooms are tastefully furnished, feature free Wi-Fi, and in some cases, offer balconies or terrazzes with spectacular views of the Valdarno and the surrounding woods.
Organic Gourmet Restaurant and Excellent Breakfasts
The cuisine is one of the strengths of Podere Castellare, thanks to its on-site restaurant (also open to the public for dinner) which offers a revisited Italian cuisine, focusing on organic products and local, indigenous raw materials. The property is a certified organic farm and produces its own organic EVO oil. It is also home to Peter in Florence, the first London Dry Gin produced in Tuscany. The continental buffet breakfast (included in the price) is particularly appreciated by guests, offering vegetarian and celiac/intolerance-friendly options. Cooking classes and tastings of oil and wine are available upon reservation.
Heated Panoramic Pool and Wellness Area
For maximum relaxation, the farmhouse features a splendid outdoor pool (often described as heated) with a breathtaking view of the Tuscan countryside, as well as a convenient poolside bar. The Wellness Center is a real plus for the property: it offers a Finnish sauna, hydromassage (Jacuzzi), Turkish bath (upon request), a fitness room, and the possibility to book massages and body treatments. Recreational services also include a tennis court and routes for trekking and cycle tourism.
Additional Services and Strategic Location
The Farmhouse is pet-friendly (pets allowed) and offers free private parking. Its location is strategic as a "base camp" for exploring Tuscany: it is close to the Valdarno and attractions such as the Vallombrosa Abbey, the The Mall Outlet (about 15 km away), and the Chianti Wine Route. Upon request, excursions, visits to nearby cellars, and farms with tastings can be organized. The property is ideal for couples, families, and those seeking a stay focused on wellness and nature.
