Casale Elisa is a wonderful stone house dating back to the end of the eighteenth century located on the hills surrounding Arezzo,between Casentino and Valtiberina valleys. It is the ideal place for a relaxing holiday in the countryside. You will be able to admire wonderful sunsets. The property extends for about 7 hectares most of which with olive groves.
The owners sell home produced extra virgin olive oil on customers’ request. The building is composed by the main house, a three storey house whose ground floor can be rented. Mrs Rossella, the owner, lives in the same building with her mother but they have an independent access and, though being at the guests’ disposal for everything they may need, they are very reserved people and deeply respect the guests’ privacy.
The ideal position of this property represents a strategic starting point to organize trips and excursions on this territory, rich in history and tradition.
