Fabuloso quinta do século 17 com piscina privada aquecida, sala de jogos e ar condicionado

A Casa Leana tem mais de 350 anos e repleta de características originais deslumbrantes, desde tetos de madeira com vigas grossas e paredes de pedra exposta até a cozinha tradicional de azulejos. Também dedicamos muito amor ao interior e ao mobiliário para transformar a fazenda rústica e desmedida em uma vila luxuosa e elegante.

A Toscana é famosa por sua comida e vinho, então cozinhar e jantar na Casa Leana é um prazer aqui, desde o uso de produtos locais excelentes para se deliciar com deliciosos pratos da família na fabulosa cozinha da fazenda, até longas refeições, dentro e fora das refeições . Todos os cinco quartos são simplesmente deslumbrantes e propícios para uma boa noite de sono, com camas de ferro forjado e roupa luxuriante, além de um dos quartos duplos realmente ter o fator uau, com uma cama de dossel e varanda privativa.

Para aproveitar o sol da Toscana e contemplar a paisagem icônica, o jardim da Casa Leana é pura felicidade. No primeiro terraço, as crianças podem brincar no gramado, enquanto os pais assistem do pátio de jantar pavimentado com uma pérgola à sombra; depois, no segundo terraço, há um pequeno olival e um banco romântico para dois, para admirar a vista à sombra de um carvalho retorcido.

Uma piscina aquecida no terraço três, cercada com segurança e protegida pelas fronteiras paisagísticas, com espreguiçadeiras para adultos, brinquedos de piscina para as crianças, além de uma mesa de jantar e churrasqueira à sombra de uma pérgola.

O quarto terraço é a horta que os hóspedes são convidados a invadir e as crianças vão adorar arrancar e estalar ao sol tomates maduros e morangos super doces.

O quinto terraço é preparado para a diversão ao ar livre com um poço de areia, balanços e um escorregador em uma área de recreação, além de espaço para badminton, skittles, bocha e batalhas nerf. E para os menos energéticos, há duas redes com vista para a vinha.

Oplev det autentiske Toscana

Hvis I ønsker at tilbringe ferien langt væk fra byens larm og turister i hobetal, så led ikke længere: Her er fred og ro i smukke omgivelser, som helt af sig selv får jer til at sætte tempoet ned. Det er det autentiske, rustikke og landlige Toscana. Huset ligger på en bakketop omgivet af solsikkeplantager, vinmarker og oliventræer. Poolen ligger i den tilstødende have, hvor I kan forsyne jer med solmodne tomater og kartofler (i sæson). Der er gode muligheder for at bo flere familier sammen i huset, og der findes ikke mere venlige, gæstfrie og hjælpsomme værter end Diana og Leigh.

Real Tuscan luxury

We had the holiday of a lifetime at the beautiful Casa Leana. The setting is typically Tuscan and the property itself is amazing. It was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. Anghiari is the nearest town (10 min drive) and is unbelievably beautiful . It has restaurants,shops and an evening market on a Wednesday with live bands playing. Di & Leigh were fabulous hosts. They were on hand to offer valuable advice on everything from where to eat to the best places to shop ( including the best markets to visit). A beautiful breakfast hamper is provided for your first morning, but even better they can arrange do a small shop for you which we took full advantage of. Di selected lots of local delicacies including cheeses, hams, local bread & chutneys which allowed us to spend our first day at the villa without having to venture too far. We will definately return to Casa Leana. This is one holiday destination you won't want to miss

Gorgeous Farmhouse in beautiful Tuscan setting

A fantastic holiday, I would recommend to anyone. In fact I would like to go back as my stay of one week wasn't long enough. Di and Leigh provided exemplary customer service from my initial enquiry onwards. They even met us in the square in Anghiari to lead us to the house a couple of miles away. The house over three floors is full of character, tastefully decorated and very clean. For a party of several adults and children it was a very practical house (as long as you're okay with stairs) with three bathrooms a huge kitchen and rear terrace for al fresco dining. The games room was a big hit with the children and the extensive DVD collection in the living room a nice surprise. It is a lovely house to spend time in. However, even better is the pool in the terraced garden for its stunning views of the Tuscan countryside, very special. Anghiari and Sansepolcro were both lovely places to visit and Di and Leigh had some great recommendations for local restaurants and places to go generally. We did a day trip to Montepulciano and visited a local winery but spent the majority of our time at the pool as the weather was lovely. If we come again we'd like to visit all or some of Arezzo, Assisi, Sienna and Florence, pool time allowing.

Impeccably hosted trip in an impressive setting

Upon arrival, we were welcomed by the owners, who gave a warm introduction to the property and surroundings. The facilities were well presented and seemed perfectly authentic. The local amenity reference material provided proved invaluable in getting the most out of our short stay and was presented with a personal touch. In fact, everything about Casa Leana spoke of the attention to detail of the hosts, their sunny disposition, and dedication to making clients holidays as good as they can possibly be. My sincere thanks to them for doing just that.

Great stay at Casa Leana!

I stayed at Casa Leana in mid September with my wife and some friends. We had such a fabulous time. The house is lovely and homely and has all the mod cons you could wish for including good wifi and DVD players in all the bedrooms but is also a very typical Tuscan farmhouse with beams, high ceilings and exposed walls. We spent a lot of time in the huge kitchen - we took it in turns to cook, one night the boys cooked and another night the girls cooked. It was great fun as the kitchen is large enough so you can all sit around chatting and cooking at the same time. We also had a couple of barbecue lunches and evening meals down at the pool which when lit is beautiful and has fabulous views in the day time and evening. We found it difficult actually to drag ourselves away from the house and beautiful gardens but we did manage to visit Florence and even had a day at the beach (Cessinatica I think) which was lovely. All in all we had a wonderfully relaxing time and the owners, Leigh and Di, were really helpful in giving advice about what to do etc. Although there were plenty of recommendations for days out at house together with detailed directions. Basically the owners have just about covered everything from lots of cookery books in the kitchen, hundreds of books in the library and there must have been over 500 DVDs for adults and kids alike. We spent a few evenings in the games room getting a bit competitive (!) and we even managed to get out on the mountain bikes to explore the beautiful surroundings.

Traditional Tuscan Adventure

We spent a delightful week here, just before Easter. This is a traditional rustic building, set in a small hamlet, overlooking a Tuscan valley and the hills beyond. The pictures show you the views and the countryside is lovely. We were a group of 13. The most they have had; but we were more than comfortable. We were 3 generations with Grandparents and 5 children. We were meeting up from England, Scotland and Dubai. The accommodation is set on 3 levels, as is the garden: so lots of steps; but the old folks managed fine. The setting is lovely and so are the owners – Lee and Di. They really do make sure that you have everything you need and are available or out of the way, as required. One of the reasons we chose this villa was that the owners are British: so there would be no communication problems. Before we arrived, Di sent numerous emails to made sure that we had everything organised and where to meet us. She also helped arrange a Police letter for a visa. She was like a mother hen. When we met Lee at Arezzo station, he was not fazed by the number of cases and dealt with everything. We made trips to Florence and the local towns; but spent most of the time in the garden, or the house and most evenings would have a mafia style dinner for 13, in the kitchen. There were bikes in the shed (at no extra charge) and there were enough for all the kids and a couple of adults to explore the countryside. The area and the roads are quiet. The local town of Anghliari is also delightful, with plenty of character and stunning views. The restaurant of Baldaccio’s is well worth a visit, very friendly and having the best pizza we tasted. Other trips to the local towns and wineries were also fun and the locals always friendly. We thought that the kids would get bored; but they didn't - there is a games room and a huge DVD collection besides. Great to spend some time with the family, in the Italian way. There are some minor things that one could moan about; but nothing worth noting and overall - look at the pictures and details and there will be no surprises. We loved it here and our daughter has the view from the garden as her screen saver. We would love to come again. Neil & Agatha and The Greater Brown Family.

Fabulous!

Beautiful traditionalTuscan house, with every modern convenience. The garden and heated pool, with amazing views are maintained every day before you are even awake by the hosts Di and Leigh who regularly go the extra mile for you, nothing is too much trouble. They have thought of everything... Wine cellar, games room, library, cycles ... The list is endless. A fabulous place, highly recommended.

A wonderful peaceful relaxing holiday!

A beautiful well equipped house in a peaceful location with all the home comforts you need for a stress free holiday. The scenery is stunning and we enjoyed many hours in the garden and pool. There was no need to venture much further for a relaxing holiday in the sun! Leigh and Di were extremely welcoming and helpful and we all enjoyed our stay very much.

Fantastic Holiday Villa

What can I say about Casa Leana and Tuscany? Well it was just one of the best holidays ever! Starting with the friendly service from Di and Leigh who both met us in Anghiari and took us to the villa so that we didn't get lost. What a great couple who obviously take great pride in looking after their guests - from the breakfast hamper to all the useful information that they provide about the area. Great parking tips! The villa itself was just perfect to house our family of 5 plus our chocolate labrador - loads of space for the kids to loose themselves in. They couldn't decide whether to swim in the pool (which was amazing in October), have a table tennis or pool tournament or watch one of the many DVD's they hadn't seen. On top of that they then started a family chess tournament having never played it before! I, of course, lost that! The villa has lots of touches and I felt completely at home as soon as I stepped through the front door! Fantastic kitchen, extremely comfortable beds and a wine selection to die for! The garden was spectacular and we changed our morning cup of tea spot each day to appreciate it all. The location was ideal and we managed to visit Florence and Siena both of which I'd strongly recommend. Breathtaking! Anghiari itself is lovely and has pizza/pasta restaurants and an ice-cream cafe that I will really miss. I can't praise this package enough and I will definitely be telling all my friends it's worth a visit. Look forward to returning soon!

Best holiday ever!

Several reasons why this was literally the best holiday ever. * The most fantastic friendly service from the owners Di and Leigh who couldn't do enough for us * The most stunning location - the sort that every time you look up from your book by the pool you need to pinch yourself * A house full of character and charm * A fully stocked wine cellar of hand picked wines by Leigh who REALLY knows his wines * The option to have a the lovely next door neighbour pop round and cook you a fantastic meal * A truly breathtakingly beautiful hilltop village down the road (Anghiari). * And I got proposed to by the pool over looking some of the most beautiful views I have seen. Now you can't beat that! Lovely couple and lovely place

We Will Be Going Back!

We regularly rent properties in France and the UK and occasionally in Spain so we decided on a change and to try Italy – we - being two couples and two dogs. Ticking all the boxes was Casa Leana, so we made contact with Di and after a couple of emails booked the property, payment was simple and before setting off we asked a few more questions by email and we also received simple to follow travel details (which were very necessary). We also gave Di a shopping list, which she sorted out for us. Meeting Di and Leigh was straightforward and in a few minutes we were at the house. They ran through a few things with us, although everything is detailed within a folder. They also kindly gave us details for the vet within Anghiari including an emergency number. The shopping was all put away, in the fridge where necessary. The house has been beautifully restored and fitted-out, we usually come up with something missing but not this time. Di and Leigh come by early in the morning, primarily to tend to the pool and also gardening – only because our dogs needed to go outside early, did I know they were there. They kindly left us some Fresh Tomatoes and Figs both were gorgeous! They are great hosts – there if you need them for help or recommendations and not if you don’t. We used the games room a couple of times – had great fun and it dragged the competitive nature out in all of us!! We also used the bikes a couple of times and they are all in great condition. Locally, we were easily able to walk the dogs, the countryside is fantastic, and I took many photographs. Generally, we ate in Anghiari, the choice is extensive, the quality was excellent and the service without exception – friendly and first class – we also ate in Cortina, which was equally as good. We did venture into the pool but being it was September – it was slightly cool!!! Speaking to Leigh, they are having a pool heater installed this winter; this will make a big difference and another box ticked! We will be going back!

Alojamento gerido por Casa Leana (Diana Flanagan and Leigh Wright)

Imagem de perfil do anfitrião
Having both worked for the John Lewis Partnership for many years we decided to leave the UK ten years ago to manage Casa Leana and look after our guests full time.

We flit from Casa Leana and the UK during the winter months but throughout the rest of the year we stay near our house in Tuscany, enabling us to welcome our guests and be on hand if necessary.

We are both quite active and enjoy cycling, golf, tennis and gardening as well as exploring the local area on our Vespas. Leigh also plays football for Anghiari.

Having said all that we also enjoy relaxing with friends, going out for meals and watching films or sport as well as slowly learning Italian.

We are passionate about Tuscany and our gorgeous house and want to make your holiday one which you will remember forever.

Having re-developed three houses back in England from 2004 to 2008 we decided to turn our attention overseas.

Casa Leana dates back to 1650 and we spent 2008 refurbishing it which we enjoyed tremendously. Our enthusiasm to improve our house and gardens continues on an almost daily basis.

We were new to this business and one of our biggest pleasures over the years has been meeting new people from all around the world, many of whom have returned year after year becoming good friends.

Por que motivo escolheu este alojamento?

Casa Leana is located in unspoilt Tuscany countryside of the Arezzo Province, not very far from the border with Umbria. The nearest village to Casa Leana is medieval Anghiari (3 miles) which is hailed as one of ‘the most beautiful villages in Italy’, with spectacular views over the Tiber Valley. Enclosed within ancient walls, the maze of narrow streets are a delight to stroll around, browsing antique shops, stopping for cappuccinos and gelati in the cafes and choosing one of the many trattorias to enjoy traditional Tuscan cuisine. Anghiari also has a couple of small supermarkets for essentials and groceries, plus there are bigger supermarkets and many more shops in Arezzo and Citta di Castello (20 mins).

One of the greatest pleasures in Tuscany is exploring the countryside on bikes and nine are available for guests to borrow, free of charge, at Casa Leana. There are 6 adult bikes, sized from small to large, and 3 children’s bikes including one with stabilisers and one with a child seat. Helmets and padlocks are also provided. Within 3 miles of the villa, families can pootle through vineyards and fields of sunflowers, stop for a break in parks with play area and visit a local petting farm. Children can also swap pedal power for horsepower at a nearby riding stables (7 miles).

Besides just chilling out at Casa Leana, families can pack a picnic for a day on the sandy shores of Lake Trasimeno (1 hr 15) to paddle in the calm, fresh water or hire a pedalo. There are three beaches to discover close to the historic walled town of Castiglione del Lago and many flock here simply to indulge in long leisurely lunches in fine lakeside restaurants.

Quais são os elementos especiais deste alojamento?

We fell in love with Casa Leana because of the fabulous views and its proximity to the gorgeous town of Anghiari and the other beautiful hilltop villages that are just a stones throw away. We also love the family run restaurants and bars close by that are so typical of Tuscany with fabulous food for all tastes and budgets!
