This is the real Tuscany. the people are fantastic and there are some great reasonably priced restaurants close to the villa. The scenery is stunning and Florence, Arezzo, Perugia, Assisi, Cortona can easily be reached. Our villa is peaceful and relaxing , great for a family get together , child friendly and easily accessible for day trips to Florence, siena, Arezzo , Cortona , Assisi etc. It is a safe unspoilt part of Tuscany and you feel like you have gone back in time. we are so close to nature and you can see fire flies in June/July , hear the birds , crickets , boars {in the distance } and see the occasional deer , toad or hare in the garden . The stars at night are amazing and the whole place has a magical, spiritual feel / atmosphere , maybe because St Francis stopped along the road by the house on his way to LA VERNA. Our chef , Laura , makes the guests feel special with her delicious meals cooked at home or her pizza party at her house close by .
