Forming part of a medieval hamlet on a hilltop high above the Val di Chiana, Casa Janine is the principal home in a pair of houses we refer to as Il Castello. Casa Janine is ideal for up to up 3 adult couples or can be combined with Casa Teatro to accommodate up to 12 guests.

Casa Janine is literally perched on the edge of the hill and was once part of the defensive walls of the neighbouring 11thC castle. Its setting is incomparable with breathtaking views from most windows and the private garden. Casa Janine offers a combination of privacy and a sense of being in the Tuscan countryside with the friendliness of a tiny village setting along historic cobbled streets just beyond the high walls that enclose the garden.

The house is lovingly restored with an impeccably tasteful décor. Renowned British designer, David Mlinaric, is responsible for the careful renovations. Comfortable bedrooms all have en suite baths. Cozy living spaces with beamed ceilings create a convivial atmosphere. The magificent gardens are filled with flowers and lavendar beds while a wisteria-covered pergola leads to the private pool perched high above the countryside. Guests also have access to the hamlet's private chapel and restored theatre - perfect for an intimate wedding and reception, or a special celebration.

Spacious Bedroom 1 (1 King 72") and and Bedroom 2 & 3 (respectively with a Queen, 66" and Twin beds, 39" - which can be combined as a King) all have luxuriously-appointed en suite bathrooms (tub, shower, double sinks).
