Stop Press: the latest news from Casa Nova
For 2011 availability and prices see here.
 Pool: In August 2008 we completed a second, dug-in, pool on the Casa Nova estate, on a terrace below the main farmhouse. It measures 14m x 5m, with a deep end, and has an infinity edge, looking out over the Niccone valley. Around it there is a generous area of travertine marble paving. The classical formality of the architecture is softened with waving bamboos and grasses and pots of scented lemons and mandarins. It is, in short, very beautiful. For a slideshow of the new pool, click here. We hope to be able to offer Garden House guests the option of shared use of this new pool in the summer season of 2011 (July and August excluded) but this depends on all the necessary legal permissions having been obtained in time (which is not certain) and we are therefore marketing (and pricing) for 2011 on the footing that Garden House guests will continue, as in past years, to have sole use of the above-ground pool situated below the Garden House (see slideshow here). If it turns out we can make the new pool available, that will be a bonus.
Update to Guestbook: For comments from our recent guests, visit the Guestbook.
In the garden this month: We’ve completed a second enclosure for the chickens and ducks, who continue to provide lots of eggs. Three of the bantams have gone broody. Spring crops such as spinach, broad beans, new potatoes and salads are coming along in the vegetable plot and soon it will be time to plan out the tomatoes.
Video clips: We’ve added some video footage of the Garden House to the main Casa Nova website. To view the clips, click here.
