Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by Peter & Sietske. While taking care of the paperwork they offered us a cool welcome drink. They showed us around, explained everything and helped us with our luggage.
We very much enjoyed the salted, very big, pool with plenty of sunbeds. The rooms are spacious, clean, well equipped with automated Air-conditioning but most of all with good beds. You can wonder around the property with lots of olive trees and nice plants like lavender and rosemary.
We enjoyed a lovely breakfast with cappuccino, different breads, cheeses, savoury, fruits, eggs, juices e.g.
In the evening, we enjoyed dinner (international cuisine with a touch of Italian regional products) seated on the terrace with beautiful sunset view over a nearby hilltop village. I think it’s called Lucigano.
Sietske recommended a wine during dinner from a nearby winery which we have visited the day after (amazing!).
The management, although new to Casale Cardini, could provide us with many different proposals for daytrips. We went to Cortona, Largo di Trassimeno, Castiglion Fiorentina, Siena, Arezzo and the very near outlet village Valdichiana for some shopping. Foiano della Chiana is really in the middle of it all.
We will definitely return to this beautiful place!
