Casamora's houses equipped for tourist hospitality are the result of a carefully considered restoration project that confers both contemporary appeal and maximum comfort on the ancient structures, which were originally farm dwellings. All the villas, whose names come from the trees in front of them, are arranged around the main piazza, once the centre of life of the old village and today a meeting place for the guests at Casamora. All the houses/apartments have been furnished mixing the original elements of the property, such as family paintings and furniture appropriately restored, with objects of contemporary design, some of which were designed specifically by Maurizio Montani della Fargna to give a unique personality and functionality to each house. Guests of Casamora can make use of the various common areas as well as the library, the exhibition area, the swimming pool and tennis court. |

Close to the areas furnished for hospitality, enjoyment, socialising, cultural activities, areas conceived of as though they were the pedestrian streets of the towns of the Valdarno, there are four suites arranged around the porticoed courtyard. The names of these "ladies" are meant to pay homage to the female figures that have most determined the history of this family's life: Donna Olimpia Boncambji della Genga, Donna Maria Piccolomini, Donna Luisa Caetani, Donna Matilde Visconti di Modrone. The suites are planned as a single space divided into three areas: the bedroom, the sitting room and the bathroom - and are also equipped with central heating and air-conditioning. These suites, which can also be used for short stays are attractively, decorated with pictures and antique furniture. |

The old woodwork shop, no longer in use, inspired the idea of a private library for Casamora. The new project, currently underway, proposes a reference library on the ground floor and a multi-media gallery on the upper level, and aims at a social structure that combines the world of books to that of computer technology. The Casamora Library project faithfully adheres to the Unesco Program of 1994. As a place of learning, with easy access, it will represent an area for socializing and cultural intercourse and has also been planned to house exhibitions.

In 1998 some of the vines where transplanted to concentrate more resources on the olive oil venture, and because the production of wine was characterized by a standardized quality that had little to do with the natural terrain. The vines that remain continue the ancient family tradition of the production of vinsanto. Vinsanto Casamora, made from Trebbiano, Malvasia and White Canaiolo grapes, matures over a eight year period (only then it is bottled). One might think it is just another ordinary Vinsanto - not at all! This Vinsanto distinguishes itself from the others, which are often heavy and hard to digest, and is a fitting dessert wine for connoisseurs. |

It is celebrated for its lightness and finesse, not for potency, density or high sugar content. Its elegant and delicate flavor is directly related to the great care with which it is handled during the long production process in Fattoria Casamora. Only the best grapes are used: selected manually, separated from the pedicle, and finally pressed to obtain the must, which is then filtered naturally and stored in oak barrels at Fattoria Casamora. This gives the Vinsanto Casamora its unique quality. |
