Last week we have the privilege to spend a week's holiday in the apartment 'Zoo' at Casale di Cellole. The mansion in which the apartment houses is beautifully situated; has a magnificent view over the Tuscan hills and is surrounded by a natural garden with lush flowers and herbs. 'Zoo' is quite roomy (especially the bedroom) and easy to keep in pleasant temperature as the mercury rises above the 30 degrees. This Tuscan home is contemporary and very stylish renovated. The rooms feel very familiar and are decorated with an eye for detail. The interior is beautifully through the use of natural materials (such as concrete, wooden floors and a beautiful wooden staircase). The carefully chosen furniture, lamps, paintings and objects, make that we could continue to stay here for ever! The kitchen has fine china and good equipment (oven, dishwasher, toaster, large refrigerator). You can stay here both good inside in the evening and outside during daytime, everywhere it’s equally beautiful and has a pleasant atmosphere (and wifi access!). A dip in the beautiful and refreshing pool after a few hours hiking is a really delightful. The tranquil setting, but also the proximity to other guests is very pleasant. Hostess Elisa (and her family) are very friendly, relaxed and engaging. The other apartments and houses belonging to Casale Cellole are equally as beautiful and extraordinary. A truly recommended and distinct please to stay! Virginie, Amsterdam, July 2016
