Holiday Home La Limonaia - Lovely restored baronial guesthouse

Simply marvelous! Private gardens. Unique and beautiful all year around!.
Private villa with gothic windows and fountain nestled in its own formal gardens. La Limonaia, which was originally designed to keep lemon trees warm in the winter, is part of a large estate near Arezzo / Castiglion Fiorentino that once belonged to the renowned Albergottis, a family whose history has been traced back over 1000 years. La Limonaia surrounded by its blossoming gardens is a completely independent, private, baronial-style home with its own cypress-lined entrance and driveway. After parking your car in the covered garage, you’ll walk through private gardens to a beautifully restored baronial guest house. This spacious 3-bedroom 2-bath home for up to five guests will pamper you with the best of sophisticated country living.
Furnished with 19th century antiques, this comfortable retreat offers an open spacious living room with cathedral ceilings, galery with garden views, designer kitchen with granite counter top, central heating, screened windows, unlimited high speed Wi-Fi, cozy fireplace, two patios, gazebo, barbecue, and uninterrupted views of gardens and wooded hills. In addition to the private gardens directly surrounding the house, which are for the exclusive use of Limonaia guests, you can enjoy an 800 meter private jogging trail, and walks through private woods and olive groves.
Simply marvelous! Unique and beautiful all year around!.

Enjoy the best time in Tuscany in Autumn!
Late autumn in Tuscany is a romantic time for guests who appreciate the beauty of tuscanys countryside, colorful sunsets and sitting in front of a crackling fire place with a glass of red wine. It is also a time of culinary delights: truffels, chestnuts, porcinis, freshly pressed olive oil and a fantastic time to explore the sights of Tuscany. You can be sure that waiting lines for attractions will be far shorter then usual.

Long-term guests are welcome. Cook and maid service on request.
Or just go to the nearby farmers' market and make yourself a gourmet meal in the large fully equipped kitchen.
La Limonaia is available to rent all year around. Every season has its beauty!

July at La Limonaia

Our family of grown-ups spent a lovely time at La Limonaia. The house is gorgeous and the park around it lush. Margret's communication by mail was prompt, friendly and caring, and Arthur was a truly friendly, discreet, helpful and generous host. La Limonaia was a wonderful place to seek shade in the hot afternoons, while the garden provided freshness in the evening hours. The house is perfectly situated for cultural visits (apart from the obvious Florence, Siena and Perugia we were able to enjoy a marvelous Luca Signorelli anniversary expo in Cortona). The house is also very well situated for walks in the Tuscan countryside and mountains. We recommend this luxurious summer home for people looking for calm and beauty.

A Private Tuscan Garden Paradise

Our stay for the month of June at the lovely "La Limonaia" was truly memorable. A wonderful renovation of a 19th century limonaia located on a large private estate, this comfortable home felt like our home the moment we walked in. Filled with antiques and lots of comfortable seating, the 2-story living room was a delight. Both bedrooms had wrought iron beds and were extremely comfortable. The gardens are spectacular, with roses, lilies, lavender, hydrangea and more. My husband enjoyed spending time in the garden, doing a bit of pruning! The house is very private, with a private cypress-lined driveway and gated garden. Private, but also very centrally located to exploring Tuscany, with a nearby train station in Castiglion Fiorentino for trips to Florence and Rome. We enjoyed the many outdoor seating areas to view the olive groves, cherry trees and hills beyond. Arthur and Margreth are great hosts, very responsive but not intrusive. The weather was unusually hot while we were there, but the house has screens and shutters which kept the interior cool during the day. Highly recommend this property, the pictures online don't do it justice! We can't wait to return.

Einfach wunderschön

Wir haben im August eine Woche im Ferienhaus "La Limonaia" verbracht. Das Haus ist einfach wunderbar eingerichtet und perfekt ausgestattet mit allem, was man sich wünscht und benötigt. Wir wurden sehr nett von Arthur empfangen, der uns einiges über die Geschichte des Hauses und der angrenzenden Villa erzählt hat. Auch fanden wir nach der langen Fahrt in glühender Hitze kalte Getränke im Kühlschrank vor. In dieser Woche herrschte noch die große Hitzewelle in Italien mit über 40 Grad im Schatten. Es gab in jedem Raum einen Ventilator, somit war es im Haus gut auszuhalten. Sehr gut war auch, dass sich vor allen Fenstern Fliegengitter befanden. Der Garten ist wunderschön und schattig, wir haben uns oft hier aufgehalten. Auch für schöne Ausflüge in die Umgebung ist die Lage des Hauses prima. Die Kommunikation mit den Vermietern Margreth und Arthur sowie der Nachbarin Daniela war einwandfrei und problemlos. Es war für uns also alles rundum perfekt.
