Castello di Casole - A Signature Development of Timbers Resorts
Visit the Castello di Casole website
Fractional ownership or whole ownership of beautifully restored and reconstructed farmhouse villas on an historic 4200 acres or 1700 hectare estate close to Siena. For those who desire to live the Tuscan lifestyle, Castello di Casole is a five-star luxury resort and residence club currently under development by Timbers Resorts, leaders in the emerging category of luxury, boutique resorts.
Respectful of their heritage, these villas are being painstakingly restored and reconstructed to their original charm and further enhanced with modern amenities. Residences are organized around a series of glass-tiled, infinity-edge pools and hand-set stone patios complete with wood-burning ovens. Indoor spaces range from approximately 4000 to 7000 square feet or 350 to 750 square meters. Outside and in, one can trace the centuries across the hand-set loggias, terracotta vaulted ceilings and attention to exacting detail which makes each villa an individual expression of art and architecture. The farmhouse villas range from 3 to 5 bedrooms and include a private infinity-edged pool. Furnishings are a collection of the finest interior appointments from local artisans and antiquities gathered from throughout the region.
Located within easy proximity to Siena and Florence, this historic estate is also home to the 18th century Castello, opening in spring of 2010 as an intimate 41-suite, plus luxurious penthouse, hotel. Formal and casual dining venues, terraces, pools, artisan shops and a world-class spa and fitness center will be available for an Owner’s enjoyment.

Wine and Olive Oil
Out of more than 60 properties in the province of Siena, Castello di Casole
was singled out as a Model Game Reserve for its thriving vegetation and animal populations, including hare, pheasant and deer. Within this setting, Castello di Casole’s 88 acres, or 41 hectares, of working vineyards surround the residences growing SanGiovese, Cabernet, Merlot and Petit Verdot grapes...
The wine – Dodici – is produced by winemaker Piero Incisa della Rocchetta in limited quantities for Owners and their guests. Owners can get involved in all aspects of the winemaking process and enjoy special winemaker dinners, tastings and pairings for a very unique vintners experience. The estate also produces an extra virgin olive oil which is also available for owners’ enjoyment.
