Casalberna is a mid 1700’s Italian country farmhouse located in the thermal town of San Casciano dei Bagni. The village is nestled in the famous and beautiful Val d’Orcia, located midway between Rome and Florence and is surrounded by quilted fields and rolling hills. Where once families and animals resided together there is now a comfortable family property originally restored by British Interior Designer Mimi O’Connell and recently updated by its current owners. The house retains the local terracotta tiles, vaulted ceilings and fortified internal walls.
