How would you describe Casale Oleo in a nutshell?
Casale Oleo is a carefully curated agriturismo in the heart of Maremma, offering guests the chance to slow down amidst nature, silence, and breathtaking views. It’s a place to savour exceptional food and wine, and immerse yourself in the authenticity of this land through thoughtfully crafted experiences.
What is the story behind Casale Oleo? What inspired you to create it?
Casale Oleo was born from a desire to bring our family together after years of living apart, in a place we proudly call home. Our dream has always been to share our passion for this land, nature, wellness, and gastronomy with others — in a simple, heartfelt, and genuine way.
We’re a brand-new venture, having opened our doors on April 4th, 2025. From day one, we’ve welcomed guests with warmth, care, and genuine passion, creating a place where comfort and attention to detail come together to offer an authentic and memorable experience.
How would you describe the atmosphere and interior design of Casale Oleo?
We genuinely believe that Casale Oleo offers a peaceful escape. The vibrant colours of the landscape, particularly at sunset, create a magical atmosphere, while the gentle sounds of wind and birds nourish the soul. The interiors have been carefully curated by local artisans, blending natural materials and bespoke furnishings to create spaces that feel warm, intimate, and timeless.
Who were the architect and interior designer behind the project?
The environmental redevelopment and architectural restoration were overseen by Archigroups studio, based in Grosseto, led by architects Luca Perin, Emma Siccardi, and Vincenzo Gabriele. Vincenzo Gabriele, as a professional interior designer, guided the project with vision and precision. At the same time, we — Monica Minola and Guido Serafini — were deeply involved, carefully selecting materials, collaborating with local artisans, and shaping custom furnishings to reflect the spirit and soul of the place.
What’s your policy on children?
All children, of any age, are warmly welcome at Casale Oleo. We simply ask for kindness and respect toward other guests, the rooms, and the natural surroundings — so everyone can enjoy the peaceful, welcoming atmosphere we’ve lovingly created.
To you personally, what makes Casale Oleo so special?
What sets Casale Oleo apart is its unique 360-degree view over the Maremma — from Monte Amiata to the Argentario coastline, including Talamone and the islands of Giglio and Elba. Our restaurant elevates the art of grilling, using outstanding techniques and seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. And the attention to detail is present in everything, from the design to the services, breakfast, and personalised experiences we offer.
