This farmhouse was built in the 1600's and has been tastefully restored keeping all original details. Total privacy, addit. Services upon request Property divided in main farmhouse (sleeps 8, 3 baths) and two separate mini apartments (sleep 3 with 1 bath each), which allows for more privacy or easily splitting the house in two or three parts. In the main house, three of the four bedrooms are situated on the upper floor, the 4th bedroom is a small bedroom with two single beds, off the living room: the perfect spot for somebody who is not comfortable in climbing stairs or to have small children at reach. The living room has plenty of seating around the large fireplace, uncork some wine and - trust us - that is a good story telling space.

Terra-cotta floors throughout the house, an open stone staircase, tiled bathrooms, a waterfall tub, exposed beams on every ceiling and dreamy views from every window. As soon as you step inside you will appreciate the care and heart that went into renovating this great property, careful to add high comfort, while keeping that wonderful Tuscan feel. The two apartments contain own kitchen corner, a bathroom, a large bedroom and a private or common terrace (depending on which of the two apartment).Located just outside the house, a few stone steps to a dining terrace overlooking the 6x12 meter pool and the beautiful valley below. The stone decking around the pool allows for plenty of sunning space as well as some shady areas so you can still be part of the pool atmosphere without tanning too much. A true paradise which makes you just want to lay there all day, stare across the valley and do absolutely nothing. The rustic-style house features a terrace, a pizza oven, an outdoor BBQ and a covered terrace with darts board, where you can have your morning coffee, looking down the lake. The kitchen includes a dishwasher. Our driveway is approximately 1.3 kilometers in length from the main road to Priello. Paved in bits and gravel in others it's a fun road you will learn to love. The road winds up to two farms, woods, over a little waterfall, past our neighbors around a corner, past hayfields and right when you think "is this the right road?" you will see our classic cypress lined drive and you have arrived. It is less than a mile to the main road but it seems a world away with peace and quiet you can only dream of. This part of the Tiber Valley is right in the middle of the Italian peninsula; in Tuscany, but borders on the counties of Umbria, Marche and Romagna, regions with varied characters which at different times have influenced its history, culture and landscape leaving marks which can still be felt today. It is an area which is between the Tyrrhenian and Adriatic seas. It has a complex story, as it is not only the valley where the river Tiber has its source, a river which has shaped the fertile plain for thousands of years; but it is also mountainous. Actually it is more mountainous than flat, but even in this case it is impossible to give a unanimous definition to the hills and mountains of this area.

Why choose us. This is what our guests think about us: Ms Devine from New Haven (USA) the owner and his family were incredibly warm, accommodating and helpful. The property was gorgeous and they took us on tour of his vineyard and spent two hours talking with us about the wine and food of Tuscany. It was a fantastic experience. Perfect Vacation Spot!" Mr Macdonald from London (UK) "The owners were very accommodating and made sure we were always comfortable and had everything we wanted. Our Italian is pretty much non-existent but that wasn't an issue as their English is fluent. The apartment was beautifully appointed and had everything that we needed. Wine is produced on the farm and is good value and very tasty. Very relaxing and highly recommended. Beautiful apartment in lovely surroundings!!!" Mrs Harris from Waldorf (USA) "The entire family was very friendly and extremely helpful from beginning to end. Since we did not rent a car, they met us at the train station in Arezzo and made us feel welcome from the start, giving valuable advice on such topics as shopping locations, nearby restaurants, bus stops we should be aware of and so forth. The owner made sure we felt welcome, answered all our concerns and did much more than what was expected. At the end, we felt more like family/friends rather than guests. I look forward to spending time again at their estate."

The view from here is - "just stunning but wait until you see the pool..." ... Villa is - "simply beautiful " Two comments form guests in August 2016 Villa is for sure, a really special property for both friends and families to enjoy. Tucked away on the sleepy hillside of Castiglion Fiorentino and where guests can make this their "home from home" - The property welcomed its first guests in May 2016, - The villa is set within an olive grove where the visible ruins of an ancient defence castle of Castiglion Fiorentino can be explored and enjoyed. Adjacent to the larger villa is a (deconsecrated) church from the 12th century which has also being restored. The Villa and its annex provide three bedrooms, three bathrooms, modern kitchens, 2 sitting rooms, a vast terrace with some of the loveliest views of the valley and the town of Castiglion along with the private Infinity Edge pool - strategically situated to enjoy the fabulous views. It is about 3 km from the town, where there are many restaurants, bars and shops and, there is also small shop,bar and restaurant just across the valley if you did not want to travel into the town, Much like the other villas here, this is also a good location - an excellent base to explore Tuscany its many hill towns, festivals, wineries and countryside including easy easy day trips to Cortona, Pienza, Montepulciano, Siena etc - Florence is also easy by either car (1 hour) or by train from our local station. This is one of our first reviews from May 2016. A first review says: “The houses are surrounded by a beautiful old olive grove. There are two terraces overlooking the valley and a very nice infinity swimming pool. The view is breathtaking. I have been in this valley before but the view here beats everything. There is a small terrace in the back to catch the early morning sun. The large (Giant) terraces in the front catch the sun from 10 am to sunset. For people like me who love to read in the shade : plenty of shade available under the surrounding trees. The olive groves around the houses are actually grassy meadows, ideal for children's play. In the woods on top of the hill behind the house lie the remains of a 13 th century castle. You have to drive up a drivable access road from the valley floor to reach this house. The next and only other house is 100 m down. The road continues up the hill for another 1.6 km, winding through beautiful olive groves and forests, offering breathtaking views. Then then for easy hiking, road changes into a hiking trail that joins the hiking trail that circumvent the valley. We were the first occupants in a newly developed property. We were two couples and stayed a week in May 2016. The property consist of two houses. The smaller one , just a few meters away, has one bedroom, with a king size bed, bathroom and a living space with kitchen. Tho main house has two bedrooms, with king size bed and the other with two single beds. The main house has two bathrooms. A dining room, sitting room and separate kitchen. Hendrik, NL.
