Casa Colonica can be rented in full for family-friendly privacy. Rooms include in-room perks like mini-bars, bathrobes and simple modern comforts.

Wake up to olive-grove and cypress views and choose between a brand-new outdoor pool, an indoor pool and the Arno Spa with massage rooms, sauna and steam bath. There's a fitness center, library, chapel, on-site parking and free Wi‑Fi across the grounds. Pets are welcome.

A business center, conference hall and event facilities support meetings and private events. Multilingual staff, concierge services and a complimentary city shuttle make planning easy.
