Company information

Ciao, my name is Lisa. I am usually your first contact with Podere Casanova, and I'll be here to welcome you upon your arrival to our home. To introduce myself, I'll borrow from what many of our guests (who I prefer to call friends) tell me on the day of departure: "from our vacation in Tuscany, we will recall everything with pleasure: the beautiful sunsets, the historical cities and small villages, the marvelous view from the pool, but above all, we will remember your smile." Podere Casanova is a small family-run business. You'll meet my large and beautiful family who run the estate alongside me: my husband Tommaso, my older sister Lara, my parents Biagio and Maria and my childrens Niccolò and Margherita. We love our work, and our goal is to make your vacation unforgettable! You can enjoy the calm and beauty of the Tuscan countryside at Podere Casanova and, if you wish, spend some time getting to know us.
