The Estate

Antica Tenuta Le Casacce dominates the Orcia valley, between Monte Amiata and Montalcino (16 km), surrounded by a park full of breathtakingly beautiful, centuries-old olive trees.

It dates back to 1260, and by the early 17th century it was the site of an important oil press. Only as recently as the 1990s was it renovated, remaining absolutely faithful to its ancient Tuscan features, and even restoring the tradition of producing an extraordinary extra virgin oil, using the local "Olivastre di Seggiano" olives, which grow only here, and give a unique and inimitable oil, which can even boast curative properties due to its high antioxidant content.

Bread, landscape and soul

In the midst of the colours, scents and atmospheres of the Orcia valley, chef Enrico Casini brings you the traditional flavours of Italian, and especially Tuscan, cuisine, reworked in the light of his own experience.
Lunches and dinners for weddings or banquets for up to a hundred people, personally tended and indulged by the chef and his staff, with an affection and attention reminiscent of our grandmothers.
