VILLA PARADISO – TOSCANA – SARGIANO (AREZZO)
Villa Paradiso is a particularly beautiful villa, built in early 20th century style, with swimming pool and large park four kilometres from the centre of Arezzo and about ten kilometres from the A1 motorway. It has been constructed in two symmetrical wings, slightly curved to follow the longitudinal slope of the land, that are joined by a central loggia dividing the villa between the guest wing and the family wing. The villa has a beautiful view over the park and the Aretine countryside with olive trees and vineyards. Numerous paths around the villa invite its guests to go for walks in the park that is a mixture of nature and art. The proximity of the town of Arezzo makes it very easy to visit shops, and markets.
Please note: only the south wing of the villa will be rented. Owners live in the north wing and they guarantee the total privacy of guests in using the park and swimming pool.
PARK: the villa is surrounded by twelve acres of land transformed into a park by Pietro Porcinai (1910-1986), the world famous Florentine landscape designer. The park has been published in numerous specialist magazines thanks to its originality and beauty. The theatre, constructed by Porcinai using only trees and plants, must be mentioned. The large garden in front of the villa is an ideal place in which to organise particular events.
SWIMMING POOL: open from the last Saturday of April to the first Saturday of October, the pool measures, 6 x 12 m with the depth varying from 1,80 to 3,00 m 100 m far from the villa. It is well equipped with deckchairs and sunshades.

From the main entrance one can access to the leaving room with fireplace, armchairs, rugs and coffee tables. The dining room opens onto the living room. The TV room is located on the left of the main entrance. A large marble spiral staircase leads to the first floor with four bedrooms and three bathrooms, two of which en suite. From the ground floor a narrower spiral staircase leads down to the kitchen in the basement and from here to the ironing room/store room and a fourth bathroom which serves the kitchen and also a possible double bedroom.
