Location
Just 20 minutes from the beautiful city of Arezzo, in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, this villa is ideally placed to explore the picturesque hill towns and vineyards of the Val di Chiana.

Arezzo, known as the gold centre of Italy, is famous for its medieval architecture and beautiful main square, Piazza Grande, lined with some excellent cafés and restaurants. In addition to the many jewellery workshops, the city is home to a large antique market, which takes place on the first Sunday of each month. You can spend hours hunting for treasures amongst the stalls in the Piazza Grande.

For a more modern shopping experience, The Mall Firenze in Leccio (1 hour’s drive) is an Aladdin’s Cave of tempting designer outlet stores. Here you will find Fendi, Etro, Gucci and many more labels at reduced prices.

Given the villa’s large kitchen and outside BBQ, guests will definitely want to cook at home. There are many local markets, but the Logge del Grano in Piazzetta delle Logge del Grano, Arezzo (20 minutes drive) offers a cornucopia of fresh vegetables, fruit, meat, pasta and much more under one roof. There is a huge range of vineyards where you can tour the vines, sample the local wines, normally with a selection of salamis and cheese, and then stock up on wine to enjoy at home.

For something more active, there are many cycle routes throughout the area. And the Casentino National Park (2 hours drive) has many hikes through stunning forests and hills.

Florence’s international airport is a 1 hour 20-minute drive from the apartment and Perugia airport is 1 hour 25 minutes by car. Please note that the pool is open from the 1st of May 2024 to the 30th of September 2024 Electricity charges to be paid on the spot: EUR 0.35 per KW
