Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Set high in the Tuscan hills, this villa has everything you need for a carefree stay. With a private pool and two terraces, you'll probably spend most of your time in the garden. The hot tub is the icing on the cake – it's the best spot to admire those sweeping views. While the traditional interior isn't as impressive, there's no shortage of space. The fifth bedroom is in a separate cottage, complete with a lounge and kitchenette – perfect for grandparents or a couple wanting extra privacy. A car is a must here, but you'll be within driving distance of Arezzo (25km), Cortona (13km), and the small village of Castiglion Fiorentino (5km).

Home truths
The fifth bedroom is in an independent cottage. It also has a kitchenette, a living area, and a private entrance.
The first floor is divided into two separate areas, with no connecting door between them.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a free cot and high chair on request.
The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts and there are antiques dotted around.
The swimming pool is only available to use between May and September. It's unfenced, so children must be supervised at all times.
Due to the remote location, a car is necessary. There's private parking on-site, but please note the access road is unpaved and can be bumpy.
