We are Klaartje and Torben Heerze-te Winkel, the owners and landlords of Casa San Carlo. In February 2008 we emigrated to beautiful Umbria from the Dutch Randstad. Since then, we have been receiving guests at our beautiful place. We host and hostess all kinds of guests: individual holidaymakers, groups of family and friends and the participants of our annual 'Specials'. Such as Yoga Retreats, a Masterclass Portrait Photography and our special Wine Food Weekends. In addition, as a wedding planner, Klaartje organizes several weddings a year in Casa San Carlo, and Torben is a purchase and renovation consultant for people who are also looking for a (second) home in Umbria. We have also been exporting delicious Umbrian and Tuscan wines and our own Extra Virgin olive oil to the Netherlands and Belgium for 15 years, through our Casa San Carlo webshop.

Big thank you!
“We had the privilege of staying with this family during their high season and can’t begin to say enough good things about the time we spent with them. For anyone who is enthralled with food and wine, this is a paradise!
If you’re not in the mood to explore, just lounging around the house is quite enjoyable too with use of their large pool overlooking Tuscany. As a couple, they are a lot of fun to learn from and joke around with. Big thank you to you two for a wonderful stay in Umbria!”
