Casa Etrusca 9
An elegant home in an Etruscan village
Nice little touches
- Being in the heart of an italian village is a real delight - and to have a private garden with a plunge pool makes it a very special experience
Casa Etrusca was an important building and this still shows today; with its formal facade and elegant presence this is a building of some standing. Today it has been transformed into an elegant village home for up to 9 guests, with 4 en-suite doubles and an extra single for a teen or a guest, all fully airconditioned.
Unusually for a village home, Casa Etrusca also has a garden. This haven of greenery among the medieval brickwork, with the addition of a plunge pool, is the perfect place to relax and cool down after a long day exploring the museums, art cities or wineries of the region. This is a house perfect for those who wish to immerse themselves in the Italian culture and experience village life.

Around Casa Etrusca
Castelmuzio is a small but historic village; First mentioned in the 9th century it is undoubtedly much older, built on an old volcanic tufa plug, a position beloved by the Etruscans for defence and for the ease with which tunnels and tombs could be carved into the soft rock. Today it is a small village rich in history, with the remains of its past as a fortified castle still easy to trace in the medieval walls, stone gate and watch tower. It has a cafe/bar, a restaurant and a small 'coop stop, enough to ensure to don't have to get in your car unless you're off to explore the countryside.
When you do explore, you'll find that you're surrounded by all sorts of delights, from hilltop towns like Pienza, Montisi, Montepulciano and Montalcino, to the famous art cities like Siena, Arezzo and Florence. There are thermal baths nearby, in Bagno Vignoni, San Casciano, and Rapolano Terme, as well as wineries, museums and wild swimming galore. This is the perfect base for exploring Tuscany, as well as nearby Umbria with Lake Trasimeno and Perugia within an hour's drive.

Worth knowing
Many local administrations now charge a “Tourist Tax” for people staying in rented accommodation and these vary from town to town. The charges are generally per person per night with a maximum number of nights, usually around 5 but sometimes 7, beyond which they will not charge. The charges range between 50 cents to 3 euro. Children are sometimes included, sometimes not and these charges should be collected by the property owners.
