This spacious village home was built in the early 20th Century, leaning against the medieval town walls. Following traditional village practice, it forms a part of many houses, each intertwining with each other; but unlike many medieval houses, this one has tall rooms and airy windows, taking in the panoramic views from the village.

Previously owned by the director of Invitation To Tuscany, the house has been carefully restored and enjoys beautiful views of the Tuscan landscape from its windows and the terrace. The main bathroom is striking, as the original medieval village walls are the backdrop to a deep club-footed bath tub.

A stepped street leads into the main village street, with grocery stores, restaurants and bars within easy reach. The village also has a great museum and a fortnightly market on Monday mornings.

Beautiful town house

This is our second year at Dan’s house. Lovely position in the village and the view from the terrace is stunning. Great house with two good size bedrooms. Kitchen is well equipped. House is very comfortable and provides a great base for touring the area too. Loved it.

We stayed for two weeks at Dans House in Casole d'Elsa and we loved every minute of our stay. The home was in a fabulous location, in a historical building, just steps away from the town square and the main cobblestone road in the heart of the little town. The town has a couple of excellent butcheries, a little well stocked grocery store and about 3 or 4 lovely restaurants. We would go for coffee each morning, sitting outside at one of the cafes in the main street and we quickly got to feel like part of the community. The home was spotlessly clean, the beds were very comfortable, the shower/bathroom was huge and there were two separate toilets. The kitchen was well equipped with every type of dish, crockery, cutlery and appliance we could ever need. It had a great gas stove, and a large fridge freezer (most important in the Italian summer heat!). In the laundry there was an excellent washer, dryer, iron/board, and another drinks fridge. Wifi was excellent and there was a good library with a huge range of books. Parking was excellent, being immediately below our front door. We loved being so close to the heart of the town, as we could easily walk to the restaurants each evening for dinner if we didn't feel like cooking. Communication with Invitation to Tuscany was excellent, and they also gave us recommendation for a wine tasting at a little vineyard not far from Casole d'Elsa which we wouldn't have known about otherwise, so we appreciated their helpful input. Would definitely recommend this lovely genuine Italian home to anyone.

We had a wonderful stay at Dan's House in the hill top town of Casole d'Elsa, near Siena. The apartment was very well furnished with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The town itself is very attractive and worth exploring, with all the facilities within a short walking distance. We enjoyed visiting the local shops, restaurants and community swimming pool nearby. We were also able to visit San Gimignano, Siena and Florence easily by car. Casole d'Elsa has a friendly atmosphere and we enjoyed the events leading up to the town's 2024 Palio.

Great location in a charming village. Convenient to other points of interest in the area. We really felt like we were immersed in the daily life of Casole d’ Elsa as it was not crowded with tourists. There were plenty of places to eat within the town. It was also very nice to have a reserved parking spot. Our view was breathtaking. We enjoyed watching the sunrise come up every morning. We already reserved our next trip back.

This is a village we already love, but this apartment was new to us this year. It is spacious, well appointed and perfectly positioned to enjoy all that village life has to offer. I think we counted 53 steps to the bar! Room are airy, and have lovely furnishings. Beautiful artwork on the walls too! Excellent washing machine, which is always helpful.
The terrace provides wonderful views of the countryside and we enjoyed sitting there most days and many evenings. We plan to be back next year. Another winner from Invitation to Tuscany, thank you.

Returning to Dan’ s House is for us like visiting a friends place welcoming and comfortable . Even when the Tuscan sun forgets to shine we can potter around the village and frequent the bars and restaurants.We have walked extensively in the lovely countryside direct from the property enjoying the wildflowers birds and even the occasional deer sighting Travelling further afield there is always a new hill village to explore or favourite town to revisit and that goes for eateries too

A lovely, quaint, historic house in the centre of the village. Only steps away from shops, bars and restaurants. The house is spacious and full of character, with everything you need for a fantastic holiday. From the terrace with amazing views to the quaint shower room with amazing views and you even have a car space! We loved it and we will be back!

Dan’s House gave us the opportunity to stay within a friendly Tuscan hilltop town community which we thoroughly enjoyed - from eating and drinking to strolling and shopping (we were able to buy everything we needed in the town).
A highlight was listening to a concert of live music in the square one evening along with other visitors and residents.
The property is equipped to a very high standard with fantastic views - the marble shower cubicle deserves a special mention!
The location is great for visiting other towns and villages too.

Dan's house provided a superb and comfortable base to explore the delights of Tuscany. The view was incredible and the well equipped apartment made it cosy and comfortable for our family stay. The on the door step village and facilities/ restaurants were truly lovely.

We loved our week's stay here. On the first floor of a big old house, this very spacious and comfortable apartment has been carefully restored. It feels much more like a home than a 'rental'. There is a terrace to dine on with fantastic views to the Tuscan hills. Charming Moroccan style bathroom and well appointed kitchen with 'horse trough' sink. The village location is great, a couple of minutes walk up to the pretty main street with cafes and shops. The sights of Sienna, San Gimignano, Volterra etc are all within a half hour's drive, but mostly we enjoyed staying home in Dan's House!

First, a disclaimer. This is my old house and I often stay here when in Tuscany. We visited as a family of four in April half-term and it was lovely. After a drive through Swiss snowstorms we arrived to sunny weather. The sunrises from the main bedroom are beautiful, all the main windows look out towards Siena and classic Tuscan landscape. The playground near the Consorzio was very welcome and the restaurants in the village are excellent. WiFi is ok - enough to work on and watch Netflix with but sometimes glitchy - it could be better. I love the shower with views down the corridor to the views, the kids love the big bath.
