Detached villa with swimming pool in the Tuscan countryside

We had a wonderful two weeks at the house. There are negatives but the positives win hands down. The house fits eight people easily, the beds are comfortable, the pool is wonderful (with plenty of seating and shady spots around it if desired) as is the house balcony. The location is fab - in the country with views across the valley but easy access to Arezzo by car. Piero is a magnificent host. If he offers pizza made in his pizza oven bite his hand off - they are delicious. So what are the negatives. Well, the furniture is rather dated, one of the double beds is two singles pushed together, the towels are old and some kitchen equipment needs purchasing / replacing (eg no kitchen scissors until we bought some). The BBQ was well past its best. Piero replaced it towards the end of our stay - a gas BBQ would be better. But, as said already, it is a lovely lovely place to stay.

The villa’s location is perfect for travelling to other cities (Montepulciano, Montalcino, Sienna, Voltura, Firenze) to explore food and wine culture of Tuscany. The host Piero is very friendly and helpful. He shared with us all needed information, tomatoes, zucchini from his garden, hommade lemoncello, amayzing hommede pizza. The big pool is big and perfect. Overall it was enjoyable and perfect vacation! Thank you Piero for your hospitality we hope we will return some day!

This wonderful 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom villa, with incredible swimming pool and a very attentive host is perfectly situated in the heart of Tuscany and has views forever. It provided very spacious and comfortable accommodation for our extended family group of 7 and was very well appointed with everything we could possibly need including wonderful outdoor pizza oven and BBQ. Piero is an incredibly attentive host who is always available and encouraged us to help ourselves to tomatoes from the greenhouse and figs from the garden. He generously shared homemade fig jam, lemoncello, salami and another alcoholic drink with us and nothing was too much trouble for him. A train from nearby Arezzo took us to Florence within an hour and Siena was an easy one hour drive away. We loved exploring beautiful Cortona and Castiglion Fiorentino and would highly recommend a trip to the hidden gem - hot springs in Bagni San Filippo. There is also a great selection of grocery stores less than a ten minute drive away. On site olive groves add to the charm along with 2 goats, a pig, a couple of roosters, chickens, ducks and the adorable dog Laika who members of our party loved taking for walks and spoiling. Altogether an amazing place to spend an idyllic Italian week in a Tuscan Villa and one we would highly recommend. Wish we could have stayed for longer! Thank you Piero for your hospitality.

We had a fantastic holiday, staying in this spacious and well equipped villa. There was plenty of room for two families of four and the location was perfect to explore beautiful Tuscany. The pool is amazing - you would find a similar size in an apartment complex. But the highlight for us was wonderful Piero, the owner. He could not do enough for us and takes such pride in ensuring his guest have an enjoyable and memorable stay. We hope to return one day in the not too distant future.
