VIP Perks for Castello di Casole’s Signature Villa Guests |

A stay in one of their sumptuous, Etruscan-inspired villas blends artisanal, rustic charm with an exceptional level of luxury – and some truly inspiring extras. From pizza cooked in your own woodburning oven to a luxuriant massage, the VIP inclusions at Castello di Casole’s signature villas go above and beyond the ordinary.
Guests arriving at Villa Thesan or Villa Usil are welcomed with an evening aperitivo of Negroni Spritz paired with irresistible appetisers from Executive Chef Daniele Sera and throughout their stay are looked after by a dedicated mamma del borgo housekeeper, who is on hand to ensure every comfort.

Each morning, a breakfast basket is delivered with a fresh pastry, juice and hot and for guests staying at least four nights, a pizza kit will be delivered to the villa and a pizzaiolo will arrive to teach them the art of making delicious pizza using the outdoor oven.
For those staying a week and looking to bliss out, a 50-minute couple’s massage or two individual massages are offered either in the villa or at the atmospheric Essere Spa, housed in the estate’s former wine cellar.
These benefits are in addition to other included extras, such as complimentary transfers, a fully stocked bar, laundry service and dedicated host.
