Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

You’ll find this rustic villa set among Tuscany’s rolling hills and endless countryside. Inside, there’s a warm ambience thanks to the terracotta tiles, homespun furnishings and farmhouse-style kitchen. If you’ll be spending time outside, we bet you’ll be relaxing by the private pool with a refreshing beverage in hand. Spend afternoons dipping in and out of the water before sitting down to an Italian-inspired feast at the alfresco dining table. If exploring sounds like a good idea, take the short drive to charming Chiusi for a stroll around the honey-hued streets and an espresso in a traditional cafe. Should a day trip be on the cards, travel north to Arezzo – visit the hilltop cathedral, Basilica di San Domenico and the imposing Medicean Fortress. Return to your abode in the early evening for a glass of wine or two on the terrace followed by a night of blissful sleep in the comfortable bedrooms.
