the farm

The Casolare dei Fiori is run by the Pasquinelli family, the owner of the homonymous farm. The Pasquinelli family take care of the cultivation of flowers, which has been one of the most important business in the Valdinievole area for two generations.
 The Pasquinelli farm was established in 1954 by Enzo, the father, who started to cultivate only carnations in summertime.
 After building some heated nurseries it was possible to cultivate flowers throughout the year. Year after year cultivated products have increased, so do the arable lands and the available nurseries.
Now the firm is cultivating about 40 different species: flowers, ornamental plants, decorative branches, and potted plants, spread over a total surface of 20,000 square meters of nurseries and 10,000 square meters outdoor.
So the idea of The Casolare dei Fiori, which has been established by the Pasquinelli family with the same great passion that they have for beautiful things, has some traditional characteristics that belong to the architecture of Tuscan farmhouses.
