Read MoreWhen you arrive in the small Tuscan village in Casellino-Torri in the municipality of Rignano sull’Arno, you immediately find yourself immersed in an authentic atmosphere and in a peaceful and welcoming environment full of emotions.
The colors and scents of nature envelop you, the silence and distance from the frenetic pace of the city regenerate you and you immediately have the sensation of having arrived in an oasis of peace.
Il Casellino is a holiday home in Tuscany located in the municipality of Rignano sull’Arno, an area that extends between the course of the river of the same name and the hill and is divided into many small hamlets surrounded by greenery and interspersed with cultivated fields and romantic churches.
The municipality has ancient origins, as evidenced by the archaeological finds which trace the first settlement back to 1086.
Among the historic buildings that deserve to be visited there is the Church of San Leolino, which is considered one of the oldest churches in the Florentine area, where you can admire works of art by Santi Buglioni, Bicci Lorenzo, Cenni di Francesco and a circular with drawing, attributed to Perugino or his workshop.
Also worth visiting is the Torre di Pian dell’Isola, a watchtower and fort, which later became a stately home.
Nearby, we find the Pieve di San Lorenzo a Miransù, built on the remains of an ancient Roman fortification, the Monastery of Santa Maria, in the small village of Rosano, dating back to 780 which houses important works of art and the Church of San Piero in Perticaia with an early Christian crypt and cloister.
The “Via di Francesco” also passes through the municipality of Rignano, a set of paths that connect the places linked to the life of San Francesco d’Assisi in Tuscany, in particular the stretch that connects Florence to La Verna.
Il Casellino is the ideal location for all those who wish to spend their holidays in Tuscany in a farmhouse which retains the characteristics of rural houses, but offers all the necessary comforts to spend moments of total relaxation in the company of family and friends.
Il Casellino is a completely renovated and elegantly furnished Country House according to the typical Tuscan tradition, with different housing solutions that are able to satisfy the needs of the guests.
The structure is surrounded by greenery and features a large infinity pool where you can cool off and sunbathe.
