Villa Cavresa

Description

Villa Cavresa — Chianti, The Villa At The Glance
There is a moment, along the road that winds through the rows of Chianti Classico vineyards, when the landscape ceases to be a postcard and becomes a promise: hills that breathe slowly, cypress trees that act as a metronome to the wind, stone farmhouses that seem to have been born already grown. Villa Cavresa (formerly Ca’ di Pesa) lives exactly there, in the heart of Val di Pesa, with the elegance of a rural icon and the ease of a home that knows how to welcome guests. It is the perfect setting for extended families, groups of friends and private retreats for up to 20 guests: 11 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, spacious outdoor areas for socialising, secluded corners to disappear for an hour and return with a smile.
You decide the pace: leisurely breakfasts outdoors, afternoons by the pool with a view, games of bocce in the shade of the pine trees, pizza night with a wood-fired oven and toasts in the wine cellar with the estate's wines. And when the evening light dims, the garden is lit up with a warm glow: candles, laughter, a long table that smells of bread and new oil. The isolation is blissful, the logistics are easy: 35 minutes from Florence, 45 minutes from the airport, a stone's throw from Panzano and Greve in Chianti.
Exteriors that invite you to stay
Panoramic swimming pool with stone and wood solarium overlooking the vineyards.
Courtyard and porticoes for lunches in the shade, golden aperitifs, dinners under the stars.
Herb garden: rosemary, thyme, sage and mint ready to flavour recipes and cocktails.
Wood-fired oven for pizza evenings that will delight children, adults and crust purists alike.
Improvised bocce court and hammocks among the umbrella pines.
Vineyards as far as the eye can see and paths for morning walks.
The beauty here is that every outdoor space is designed for use: a table next to the kitchen for breakfast, a lounge area for aperitifs, a barbecue area ready for serious work, a truly comfortable poolside area — no empty scenery, just functionality dressed in beauty.
Interiors with character (and comfort)
Villa Cavresa is an authentic farmhouse, renovated with restraint. Exposed stone, beams, terracotta floors and furnishings chosen with contemporary taste: Italian hospitality without excess, with efficient systems and a fully equipped kitchen for real cooks.
Bedrooms: 11 in total, divided between 5 double rooms and 3 Family Suites (each with 1 double + 1 twin and shared bathroom), plus additional double rooms depending on configuration.
Bathrooms: 8, well-maintained and functional, with hotel amenities.
Living room & kitchen: lounges for socialising, fully equipped kitchen with generous worktop, indoor and outdoor dining area; handy pantry.
Wine cellar & tasting corner: the house cellar houses the company's labels: guided tastings or dedicated pairings are available on request.
The spaces are modular: your wellness corner can be set up in the lemon house, a baby room can be set up in a few minutes, and a meeting table can be laid out where needed. All this with stable Wi-Fi and air-conditioned areas where necessary.
Conviviality: the pleasure of a home that works
Here, you don't just “look” at the kitchen, you use it. It is equipped with everything you need: serious stoves, ovens that maintain the temperature, spacious refrigerators, a work island for food preparation, and a complete set for service and mise en place. Outside, there is a wood-fired oven and grill. The result: from a Tuscan lunch under the pergola to a tasting dinner in the cellar, everything runs smoothly. And if you prefer not to think about it, Camisa Essential comes into play.

Why Villa Cavresa
Because here, Chianti is both setting and substance: not just a view, but living matter — bread, oil, wine, stone, wood, water. Because the house works: a room for everyone, a real kitchen, usable outdoor spaces. Because Camisa Essential frees you from micro-problems and gives you back the essence of time: a plate of pasta that smells of freshly cut basil, the silence that descends in the evening, the laughter of your children echoing among the pine trees.
