History of The Casa

The Casa represents the third phase of accommodation development at Gervasi Vineyard, following The Inn (2010) and The Villas (2011). Opened in 2019, The Casa was designed to offer a more traditional boutique hotel experience while maintaining the Tuscan-inspired aesthetic that defines the property.

The design was influenced by upscale small hotels found in wine regions throughout Italy, with architectural details sourced from and inspired by historic buildings in Tuscany. The name "Casa" means "home" in Italian, reflecting the Swaldo family's desire to create a space that feels both luxurious and welcoming—a sophisticated home away from home for discerning travelers.

Relationship to Other Gervasi Accommodations

While sharing the overall Gervasi experience, each accommodation option offers a distinct atmosphere:

• The Inn: Original, rustic-luxe accommodations in a converted barn with just six suites
• The Villas: Shared villa concept with private suites surrounding common living areas
• The Casa: Most traditional hotel experience with individual rooms and hotel amenities
• The Farmhouse: Completely private four-bedroom house for family groups

Good to Know

• The Casa is centrally located on the Gervasi property with easy walking access to all venues
• The boutique hotel design means it offers more privacy than The Villas but with some shared spaces
• The Cielo Bar is open to all Gervasi guests and visitors, not just Casa guests
• Double queen rooms make The Casa suitable for friend getaways, not just couples
• The Casa is the newest accommodation on property with the most modern amenities
• Reservations are recommended 3-6 months in advance, especially for weekends and summer
• The spiral staircase is a distinctive architectural feature but elevator access is available
• All common areas and select rooms are fully accessible
• Special event weekends (Hall of Fame events, holidays) book particularly early
