Il Casalino rents in Vorno, a small Tuscany village, just outside Lucca, Italy.

Though the mill wheel no longer turns, the absolute simplicity of the timeless atmosphere remains today.

Serenity is the philosophy of life offered here, as Villa Il Casalino is brought back to life for your enjoyment. Here in the warm golden afternoons you can breath in the simple pleasures of the past. Today the rooms of the old mill have become intimate and comfortable living spaces, full of warmth and welcome. The old stable on the ground floor is now the dining room where one can admire the vaulted ceiling, the stonework, and other traditional workmanship.The entry hall’s large window looks on to the garden, bringing in the outside. The study and powder room continue in the same rustic but elegant style. And how can one forget the two stone fireplaces,once so indispensable, that still awaken the warmth and memories of family gatherings, old stories,and friendly conversations.

On the upper floor of villa are five double bedrooms,each with private bathrooms. Three room face north with views of the panoramic valley and hills and two look southwards over the beautiful garden and brook. Of the five bedrooms, one is a large master suite with sitting room. The furnishings were carefully and patiently selected during the restoration to provide the utmost comfort and luxury.
