History of Casone, a beautifully restored Tuscany Villa
The oldest parts of our Tuscany Villa Casone date back to the 12th century and during the following years new structures were added as needed. This was one of the properties under the organization of Santa Maria della Scala (Siena) - one of Europe´s first hospitals. With its own organization set up to care for pilgrims, the hospital assisted the poor and provided for abandoned children. Following bequests and donations between the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, the hospital began to divide and organize its own landed property into large agricultural estates known as “grance”, also within areas of the Val d´Orcia.

Thanks to this organization the villa has flourished for several centuries as both a hospital and a tavern for the many pilgrims using the Via Francigena on their pilgrimage to Rome. Later it became a farming estate and when the present owners bought it, some 25 years ago, the structure was still standing, but needed a thorough restoration and renovation. This artist-couple has put lots of love and thought into this big project, with a splendid result.
