Exclusive and luxury villa with pool close to the historical city of Arezzo

The Tuscany Holiday Villa lies on the edge of a historic hamlet, Borgo Montanina, still today is in the ownership of the same family.
Here we find also the landlord’s villa and a small chapel on a lovely little piazza opening to the Arno valley.
With free and wide views down into the valley lies this beautiful Villa in one of best panoramic location, over the Arno valley you may enjoy unforgettable hours under the beautiful covered terrace or at the pool with its covered pergola and the big dining table.

In 2000 part of the hamlet was restored, so the old Tuscan farm with its stables and barns has been restored in an authentic way; even the old historical silos from former times have not been torn down but were rather given their original outlook now being witnesses of times long gone. A bit further down the villa has a elegant pool, also in a dream position, with “Roman steps” – elegantly you might step into the water. Absolutely quiet and even with hot summer enjoying the fresh air of this fantastic Tuscany landscape.

Surrounded by century old trees the private property extends until down to the Arno river amidst the forests of the Casentino.
If you are looking for genuine Tuscany landscape you will find it here in charming old towns and villages where time seems to stand still.
Signora Cristina the landlady herself has been supervising the restoration works being an interior designer herself.
With beautiful antiques and collectors’ pieces she has created a truly charming atmosphere, by using the traditional Tuscan colors, given the rooms a very warm touch underlined by precious textiles – retaining, however, the character of this formerly agricultural complex.
It is, beyond other aspects, this sound symbiosis which makes the property so charming.
Cozy the inner Patio where one can nicely have meals with the entire group. At the pool one could just lie in the sun or take a seat in the shadow of the pergola. There is a lot of space, corners with sitting area everywhere.
All in all a magnificent refuge with great charm, all kept in the characteristic Tuscan style.
Nowadays below the pool wine is cultivated again. And guests have the possibility to buy it directly from the landlord.
You will be welcome by the charming owners themselves who in their gentle and forthcoming manner will be ready to assist you in any way you may wish.
