Casa Fiordalisi: A Peaceful Tuscan Retreat in the Hills of the Val di Chiana

There are places in Tuscany that feel instantly familiar — and others that feel quietly special, as though you’ve discovered something personal. Casa Fiordalisi, overlooking the Val di Chiana, belongs firmly in the second category.

Surrounded by open countryside yet perfectly positioned for exploring both Tuscany and Umbria, this is a holiday home designed for travellers who want space, calm, and beauty — without sacrificing access to Italy’s most celebrated towns and cities.

Why Stay at Casa Fiordalisi?

Casa Fiordalisi offers the kind of balance that’s increasingly hard to find: true rural tranquillity combined with easy access to main routes, rail stations, and historic centres.

Here, mornings begin with birdsong and long views across the Val di Chiana, stretching toward Cortona on the horizon. Days unfold at an unhurried pace — coffee in the garden, a swim in the pool, lunch under the Tuscan sun — before choosing whether to explore or simply stay put.

The house is surrounded by a large private garden, with a pool overlooking the valley, offering uninterrupted views that change with the light. It’s a place that encourages you to slow down, reconnect with nature, and enjoy Tuscany as it is meant to be experienced.

For Summer 2026, booking direct via www.casafiordalisi.com ensures the best availability, personal service, and a stay shaped around you.

The Landscape: The Val di Chiana at Its Best

The Val di Chiana is one of Tuscany’s most fertile and historically rich landscapes. Once marshland, later reclaimed by the Etruscans and Romans, it’s now a patchwork of rolling fields, olive groves, vineyards, and wooded hills.

Wildlife is part of daily life here: hares in the fields at dusk, buzzards circling overhead, fireflies in early summer, and the scent of wild herbs carried on warm evening air. It’s countryside that feels alive, not manicured — peaceful, but never empty.

Hill Towns on Your Doorstep

One of Casa Fiordalisi’s great strengths is its location: you’re close to some of Tuscany’s most characterful towns, without being surrounded by crowds.

Castiglion Fiorentino

Just minutes away, Castiglion Fiorentino is a lively, authentic hill town with medieval walls, a strong sense of community, excellent restaurants, and a year-round calendar of local events. It’s a place where you quickly feel like a regular rather than a visitor.

Cortona

Famous for its views and Etruscan heritage, Cortona rises dramatically above the valley. Visit early or late in the day to experience its quieter side — golden light, sweeping panoramas, and timeless streets.

Foiano della Chiana

Known for its historic carnival and relaxed pace, Foiano offers a glimpse of everyday Tuscan life, away from the tour buses.

Lucignano

One of Tuscany’s most beautiful villages, Lucignano is famed for its perfectly preserved medieval layout and golden stone streets — an ideal half-day trip.

Easy Access to Tuscany & Umbria’s Cultural Cities

Despite its peaceful setting, Casa Fiordalisi is exceptionally well-connected.

Day trips are easy and rewarding:

• Arezzo – art, antiques, and medieval squares

• Florence – reachable by train for a stress-free day

• Siena – Gothic beauty and the Piazza del Campo

• Perugia – vibrant, historic, and full of local life

This makes Casa Fiordalisi an ideal base rather than a stopover — somewhere to return to after busy days of sightseeing.

Food, Traditions & Local Life

Life in this part of Tuscany is shaped by the seasons. Summer evenings bring village festivals, open-air dinners, and sagre celebrating local produce — from olive oil and wine to truffles and Chianina beef.

Markets, bakeries, and small family-run trattorie remain central to daily life. This is a place where traditions aren’t performed for visitors — they’re simply lived.

Back at the house, many guests find that their favourite meals are the simplest ones: fresh ingredients from local shops, cooked slowly, enjoyed outdoors as the sun dips behind the hills.

Who Casa Fiordalisi Is Perfect For

Casa Fiordalisi is ideal if you’re looking for:

• A quiet countryside escape with space and privacy

• A large garden and pool with panoramic views

• Easy access to Tuscany and Umbria’s highlights

• A base for slow travel, not rushed sightseeing

• A place that feels personal, welcoming, and genuinely Tuscan

It’s particularly well-suited to families, couples, or small groups planning a longer summer stay — especially those already thinking ahead to Summer 2026.
