On the border between Valdarno and Chianti, this hilltop villa in the heart of Tuscany is just a short drive from the town of Montevarchi and within an hour of Arezzo. The rustic interior may feel dated to some, though we think it’s part of the charm. Outside, the well-kept garden offers views of the surrounding valley, a furnished portico, and a private swimming pool, open from the last Saturday of April until the first Saturday of October.
