Agriturismo Casanova di Pescille

After two stays with the Fanciullini family, Casanova di Pescille is now our must visit place in Tuscany. We love the relaxed atmosphere with a self service wine room for enjoying their wines. We like to sit on the shaded terrace and read or just look at the nearby San Gimignano skyline and rolling Tuscan countryside. The rooms are very comfortable and the cuisine by Chef Saverio is perfection. The family goes above and beyond what’s expected to make us feel welcome. This is a great base for day trips to Lucca, Volterra, Siena or Florence. We are now spoiled and won’t stay anywhere else in Tuscany.

We were fortunate enough to spend 6 nights at this gorgeous farmhouse as part of a longer European vacation. We are still travelling as I write this review. The farmhouse is located just outside the town of San Gimignano. It is beautiful, quiet and relaxing with stunning views of the city. Our room was clean and comfortable. We were lucky enough to have a terrace off of our room. We spent some time there every afternoon. Breakfast- there is a good choice and they will make a cappuccino etc for you. If you stay please have dinner at the restaurant as the food is incredible. Definitely try the Pistachio and white chocolate mousse with cocoa crumb. It’s amongst the best desserts I’ve ever tried. I love this place and would like to get back one day.

Pool was quite cold, but still enjoyable. Rooms were nice, but a little small. These 2 minor points explain our 4 rating versus a 5. The restaurant is very good, great dinner. We signed up for a cooking lesson which was a trip highlight for us - chef was friendly, funny, and clearly professional. Not a cheap activity, but absolutely worth every penny. He had us prepare an amazing lunch for ourselves.
