Nestled in the picturesque hills of Valdarno, this secluded country home is ideal for nature lovers seeking a restful stay in Italy. Spread between the main building and five annexes, this home is perfect for large groups – smaller family units will have their own space but everyone can come together to celebrate, in the large dining room or the beautiful outside space. The estate sits within 36 hectares and is framed by oaks, olive trees, and rows of vines in one of the most beautiful and varied landscapes in Tuscany, between the Pratomagno ridge and Chianti. You’ll be within easy reach of Florence and Arezzo, which are ideal destinations for day trips.
