A place of peace and privacy, immersed in the unspoiled beauty of the Tuscan countryside.

Nestled within the beautifully maintained garden grounds, you will find the spacious 16x5 m swimming pool, featuring a solar shower, elegant underwater lighting, comfortable sun loungers, and a sun canopy. The surroundings are marked by a truly idyllic atmosphere: the view opens entirely onto unspoiled, lush green nature. Thanks to its all-day sun exposure, the pool area allows you to enjoy the sunlight until the very last moments of the day, when it slowly sets on the opposite horizon, bathing the landscape in warm, golden tones. Pool opening period: the outdoor pool is available each year from mid-April to 20th October. Use outside this period is available upon prior request. The pool is reserved exclusively for the private use of Guests of Villa Il Gelso. Evergreen meadows dotted with cypress trees, olive groves, oleander bushes, Mediterranean shrubs, and flowers create the impression of a timeless and everlasting landscape, with beautiful views over the private vineyard belonging to the owner of the villa. Right next to the glass-enclosed veranda lies a spacious covered terrace, featuring two magnificent, custom-made solid oak tables, comfortably accommodating the entire group for dining, celebrations, and shared meals. The view extends towards the impressive mulberry tree standing directly in front-a rare specimen of remarkable size and strength, which gives the estate its name: “GELSO” (Mulberry Tree). Adjacent to the terrace is a beautifully built stone barbecue area, perfectly suited for unforgettable evening grill gatherings. Enjoying warm summer nights here with family and friends is undoubtedly a highlight of every holiday day. A carefully designed landscape lighting system throughout the garden and around the pool transforms the evenings into a truly magical and unforgettable holiday experience. Should you wish to be pampered by a local chef with an authentic Tuscan menu to celebrate a special evening, we will be delighted to arrange this for you.

Villa IL GELSO is located in the heart of the Casentino, a picturesque valley in central Tuscany, just 50 km from Florence and close to one of Italy’s largest national parks: the Foreste Casentinesi National Park. This area is characterized by unspoiled forests, beautifully scenic hiking trails, and a still discreet level of tourism, which preserves the authenticity of the landscape intact. A stay here offers the perfect opportunity to fully recharge, restoring balance and energy for the entire year.

For daily needs, the nearest town is about 4 km away and offers small local shops, supermarkets and a shopping centre. Every Thursday morning, a traditional weekly market takes place. The city of Arezzo is also well worth a visit: still largely untouched by mass tourism, it retains an authentic and relaxed atmosphere. Not to be missed is the famous antique market, held on the first weekend of each month: hundreds of exhibitors fill the historic centre, offering genuine opportunities for true “bargains”.
