Casa Mela is an apartment of 56 square meters (about 600 square feet), for five 
people, with a patio, it also shares a pool and a 4000 square meter (about 1
acre) park. 

It is part of a farming estate located on a low hillside, 300 meters (about 980 
feet) above sea level.

You will be in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, 50 km (31 miles) from 
Florence and 20 km (12.5 miles) from Siena, among the hills in which Chianti 
wine is produced. 

A short distance away, you will find some of the most famous towns of Tuscany, 
such as San Gimignano, Monteriggione and Colle Val D’Elsa.

Casa Mela is located on the first floor. It has two double-bedded rooms, a 
living room with divan bed for one person, a bathroom with shower and a kitchen.


In front of the apartment’s entrance, on the ground floor, there is a long and 
broad terrace with a view of the valley and of the pool. Along here, you will 
find the entry doors of the three apartments; each apartment has its own 
reserved space with table and chairs, deck-chairs and umbrellas. 


The swimming pool

You will have at your disposition a lovely pool of 7 X 14 meters (about 23 X 46 
feet), surrounded by lawn and equipped with deckchairs and umbrellas. The pool 
is shared among the guests of the other three small apartments.

Stretched out by the pool, you will be able to enjoy a beautiful and expansive 
view of the gentle hills that surround you.


The location

At Casa Mela, you will spend your vacation in an historic and fascinating 
location.

Casa Mela is one of four apartments that have been renovated, and that are 
attached to a small church dating back to the 1200s.

The church and the attached rooms originally formed a small compound. 

Casa Mela was actually the priest’s residence. There were also the wine cellar 
and storage, and rooms that hosted the pilgrims who passed through here on their 
way to Rome. These same rooms, renovated after practically a thousand years of 
history, now serve to house tourists who visit Italy.

Through this area of Tuscany (the Val D’Elsa), passed the ancient “Via 
Franchigena,” the official road to Rome taken by pilgrims from all parts of 
Europe. This was one of the principal communication channels of the medieval 
world. Along this road, many similar country churches were constructed; these 
are still called “Pievi.”

Beyond their religious functions, the historic parishes also served as gathering 
places for the residents of the community. Because of this, there is usually a 
village or at least a small group of houses next to the churches. 

Staying at Casa Mela, you will feel that you are part of this long-ago time. 

The church is slightly raised from the surrounding countryside. From a distance, 
when you arrive, you will be able to see on the summit of a small hill, the 
ancient view tower of the priest’s residence, the round stone apse with its 
red-brick designs, and the belltower with its elegant double-lancet window, in 
which the church bells hang. 

The entire building has been lovingly renovated, re-using historic and 
traditional materialsin a single moment, you will be transported into the 
atmosphere of times gone by.

The beautiful stone and red brick construction, the surrounding green lawn and 
flowering hedges, the vast horizon of gentle hills that fade to pale blue at the 
horizonall this will infuse you with a sensation of peace and well being, and 
you will feel overjoyed to be a part of this place during your vacation!

The apartments that have been renovated as vacation homes are all on the side of 
the church that faces towards the hills, and have a view of the large swimming 
pool located a few meters away and below. 

The church can be visited. Perfectly restored, it holds a room in which the 
owners receive the guests of the apartments.

Not far from the house, there is also a small hamlet of stone houses.


The household furnishings and equipment

At Casa Mela, you approach from the terracotta-paved patio. From this patio, you 
can enjoy a splendid view of the pool, and of a vast horizon of hills. You will 
find umbrellas, deckchairs, table and chairsperfect for eating in the open 
air!

From the patio, a short staircase leads to the first floor. Here, you will find 
a living room with divan bed and dining table, a kitchen, a bedroom and a 
bathroom with shower. An internal staircase leads from the living room to the 
upper level, where you will find the second double-bedded room. This space was, 
in Medieval times, a view tower. From its windows you can admire a vast panorama 
over Val D’Elsa.

The kitchen is equipped with four-burners, oven and refrigerator with freezer. A 
laundry room is available.

The furnishings are carefully chosen, and in the welcoming style of the Tuscan 
countryside.

You will find ancient terracotta floors and ceilings made of wooden beams and 
terracotta tiles. 

In the garden, you will find a barbecue area with wood-burning oven, available 
to all the guests.

Casa Mela is equipped with parking space and heating, satellite TV and telephone.

It is possible to buy the products of the farming estate of which this house is 
a part; these include Chianti wine and extra-virgin olive oil.


Nearby tourist attractions

Staying at Casa Mela, you will be in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, 5 km (about 
3 miles) from Colle Val D’Elsa, a small city famous for producing crystal 
objects. 

This is the nearest place where you will find shops, restaurants, supermarkets, 
banks, tennis courts and golf courses, and bike rental facilities.

You will be within reach of the great “art cities”Siena, Florence and Pisa. 
You will also be able to visit the most characteristic towns of Tuscany, 
starting with San Gimignano, the city of 100 towers, and Monteriggione, the 
medieval town encircled by an ancient wall. 

Don’t miss the opportunity to travel the “via Chiantigiana,” which is the “wine 
road” that cuts through the territory where Chianti wines are produced.

Along this road, you will see rows of grapevines to the right and left of you, 
and hills topped with castles and villages, the evidence of two millennia of 
history. 

You can visit wineries, discover wonderful small restaurants, and experience the 
friendliness of the local residents, which is truly part of the fascination that 
Tuscany holds for the rest of the world. 

If you enjoy hiking, you can trek through the Senesi hills, or part of the via 
Franchigena that crosses the Montagnola Senese, a protected hillside covered 
with chestnut trees, where nature is uncontaminated.

feet) above sea level.

Florence and 20 km (12.5 miles) from Siena, among the hills in which Chianti 
wine is produced. 

A short distance away, you will find some of the most famous towns of Tuscany, 
such as San Gimignano, Monteriggione and Colle Val D’Elsa.

room with ensuite bathroom, and a living room with divan bed. By way of an 
internal stairway, you reach the lower level, where you will find a kitchen with 
dining table and glass doors through which you reach the area of the patio that

feet), surrounded by lawn and equipped with deckchairs and umbrellas. The pool 
is shared among the guests of the other three small apartments.

Stretched out by the pool, you will be able to enjoy a beautiful and expansive 
view of the gentle hills that surround you.


The location

At Casa Sole, you will spend your vacation in an historic and fascinating 
location.

Casa Sole is one of four apartments that have been renovated, and that are 
attached to a small church dating back to the 1200s.

The church and the attached rooms originally formed a small compound. 

There was the priest’s living quarters, the wine cellar and storage, and rooms 
that hosted the pilgrims who passed through here on their way to Rome. 

In fact, through this area of Tuscany (the Val D’Elsa), passed the ancient “Via 
Franchigena,” the official road to Rome taken by pilgrims from all parts of 
Europe. This was one of the principal communication channels of the medieval 
world. Along this road, many similar country churches were constructed; these 
are still called “Pievi.”

Beyond their religious functions, the historic parishes also served as gathering 
places for the residents of the community. Because of this, there is usually a 
village or at least a small group of houses next to the churches. 

At Casa Gelso, the sense of history is tangible—you will feel almost like a 
time-traveler, able to glimpse the true reality of days gone by.

The church is slightly raised from the surrounding countryside. Even before you 
arrive, from a distance you will be able to see the refined construction, with 
the round apse crafted from stone and brick, and the tower with the elegant 
double lancet window in which the bells are located. 

The entire building has been lovingly renovated, re-using historic and 
traditional materialsin a single moment, you will be transported into the 
atmosphere of times gone by.

The beautiful stone and red brick construction, the surrounding green lawn and 
flowering hedges, the vast horizon of gentle hills that fade to pale blue at the 
horizonall this will infuse you with a sensation of peace and well being, and 
you will feel overjoyed to be a part of this place during your vacation!

The apartments that have been renovated as vacation homes are all on the side of 
the church that faces towards the hills, and have a view of the large swimming 
pool located a few meters away and below. 

The church can be visited. Perfectly restored, it contains a room in which the 
owners sometimes hold the reunions for their agricultural estate. 

Not far from the house, there is also a small hamlet of stone houses.


Household Furnishings and Equipment

At Casa Sole, you approach from the terracotta-paved patio. From this patio, you 
can enjoy a splendid view of the pool, and of a vast horizon of hills. You will 
find umbrellas, deckchairs, table and chairsperfect for eating in the open 
air!

From the patio you enter into the kitchen, in which you will also find the 
dining table. A long window allows you to admire the pool and the view, even 
while standing inside. 

The kitchen is equipped with four-burners, oven and refrigerator with freezer. A 
laundry room is available.

A wooden stairway leads to the upper level. Here, you will find a bright living 
room, which has large glass doors on two opposite walls. From one side, you can 
reach a terrace (this is communal with the other apartments) and from the other 
side a green space.

In the living room you will find a divan bed that can sleep two guests. In this 
space there is air conditioning, and the windows have special opaque curtains.

From the living room you can reach the double-bedded room with ensuite bathroom 
with shower. 

The bedroom is roomy and has two windows with a graceful view of the greenery 
outside.

The furnishings are carefully chosen, and in the welcoming style of the Tuscan 
countryside.

You will find ancient terracotta floors and ceilings made of wooden beams and 
terracotta tiles. 

Casa Sole is equipped with parking space and heating, satellite TV and telephone.

It is possible to buy the products of the farming estate of which this house is 
a part; these include Chianti wine and extra-virgin olive oil.
