Notes on accommodation
IMPORTANT information for all holiday-makers:
Castello di Pastine offers holiday homes (Case appartamenti Vacanze); they are not official tourist structures, such as hotels, residences, etc. but private houses. Being such, they do not have standards or categories that are internationally recognized, indeed they reflect, in their architecture and furnishing, the local traditions and the personal taste of the owner.
This is precisely the kind of holiday we offer: the chance to partake in the culture of Tuscany, living in the same surroundings as an inhabitant would. In order to live this experience in the right spirit, it is important not only that the holiday-maker accepts but also that he will be able to appreciate the differences in the properties we are proposing in comparison with those where he normally lives.

Outside
The property is situated inside a spectacular park which, with its romantic paths and breathtaking perspectives, provides the opportunity for pleasant walks immersed in nature.
The 9 x 18m swimming pool has areas reserved for each apartment and fully equipped with deck chairs, sun beds and beach umbrellas.
The tennis/five-a-side football ground in synthetic grass, can be floodlit in the evening; close by there is also a ping-pong table and a small skating rink for children.
Trekking trails in the woods of the park are reserved exclusively for the use of guests while not far from the property there are excellent restaurants where you can enjoy dishes that have made Tuscan cooking famous throughout the world. Just a few minutes away by car are supermarkets, shops and sports activities (golf, horse riding, bike hire etc…) which our staff will be pleased to help you choose from. We’re looking forward to welcoming you.

Guest comments
We would like to thank you for making our visit to Tuscany just perfect! Castello di Pastine was an amazing place for our family to relax and enjoy all that Tuscany has to offer.The accommodations were great and your recommendations on places to eat and visit were right on the mark. Pastine was so convenient to places like S. Gimignano, Siena, Florence and the Chianti hill towns. The boys loved the pool, soccer pitch and ping pong table and made fast friends with the children in 2 of the other apartments.Oh, and I must mention that the photos just can't do justice to the view from the sunset deck. It was hard to pull ourselves away! We have already recommended it to friends and hope we can return again soon! Thank you. Jon, Cyndy, Bobby & Jack (USA)
