Casolare
The peace of the countryside, the scent of flowers and the view of one of the most beautiful villages in Italy: Montecarlo. There is only one place in the world that can boast this scenario: the Casolare dei Fiori, a farmhouse located in the province of Lucca, in the heart of Tuscany. A structure that recalls the style of the most classic Tuscan farmhouses, which has 6 apartments, all equipped with the main comforts, shared swimming pool and private parking and free Wi-Fi.
Casolare dei Fiori is an oasis of greenery and relaxation, immersed in the Tuscan countryside, from which you can easily reach the most important centers of interest in the region. The property is just 3 km from the A11 motorway (Firenze-Mare), exit Chiesina Uzzanese, an ideal location for those who want to quickly reach the beautiful cities of art such as Florence, Pisa, Lucca and Siena. The closest point of interest is still Montecarlo, an enchanting medieval village nestled in the hills of Lucca (to visit the Rocca del Cerruglio, the Teatro dei Rassicurati and the Pieve di San Piero in Campo), which has become famous throughout the world for its significant of wine. So important that to protect its characteristics and quality, a DOC has been regulated, which is among the smallest at national level: a sort of miracle if we think that the 16 wineries that are part of it extend over an area of about 220 hectares. The Casolare dei Fiori is a stone's throw from Viareggio and Versilia, places famous throughout the world for their well-equipped bathing facilities; just over an hour from the Apennine mountains, where you can practice skiing and winter sports, follow trekking and cycling routes immersed in nature; just ten minutes from the spas and wellness centers of Montecatini Terme and Monsummano Terme.

The Pasquinelli family: History and Flowers
Casolare dei Fiori farmhouse is managed directly by the Pasquinelli family, owner of the homonymous farm which has been involved in the cultivation of flowers for two generations. The Pasquinelli Agricultural Company started the business in 1964 with Enzo: from a small production of carnations, limited to the summer period, the company expanded and following the construction of the first heated greenhouses, it had the opportunity to grow flowers for all the rest of the year. Today the company has about 40 different species in cultivation: flowers, ornamental greenery, decorative branches and potted plants, spread over an area of 20,000 square meters of greenhouses and 10,000 square meters outdoors. And it was precisely the passion for flowers and for beautiful things that prompted Luca and Roberta, in 2007, to open the farm by recovering an old farmhouse to use as hospitality and catering.
All the activities of the farm can be observed directly by the guests of the Casolare, through guided tours to discover the secrets of flowers and our work. Not only that: for those who are not satisfied with just watching, we have studied a series of activities that will allow you to participate in the production and life of the company. Come and discover the hydrangeas and the explosion of colors that we have jealously guarded in our greenhouses since 2005; roses, whose intense fragrance surrounds our company; and FlorFlock, our new brand, leader in Italy in the creation of garlands and flocked trees.
