VILLA CASAGRANDE

Situated in an Italian villa dating from the 14th century, Villa Casagrande is located in the medieval town of Figline Valdarno, 25 kilometres from Florence. The 60 guestrooms are decorated in a style sympathetic to the period of the hotel, with simple white walls, cool terracotta tiled floors, exposed wood ceilings and antique style dark wood furniture. All have climate control, minibars, satellite TV and bathrooms with hair dryers and complimentary toiletries. The hotel is situated in its own grounds complete with traditional Italian garden and guests have the benefit of an indoor swimming pool, massage treatment room, sauna, fitness equipment and beauty services.

The restaurant Antica Taverna serves Tuscan specialities and is set in the old weaponry room with a cloistered outdoor area for summer dining. Figline Valdarno's historic market square, Piazza Marsilio Ficino, is 200 metres from the hotel and the beautiful city of Siena is 40 kilometres away.
