Packed with character features, you'll be welcomed by tiled floors, ancient wooden beams and traditional shuttered windows.

Elsewhere in the garden, you'll find an additional one-bed guesthouse with its own bathroom – perfect if you really value your privacy. Spend your days swimming in the private pool on a lower level of the garden and eating outside on the huge terrace, pouring local wine and admiring the incredible views.

View From The Evening

Relaxation is the order of the day at this 19th-century farmhouse in Tuscany's Ranchetto region. Located within its own natural park, lined by tall oak and chestnut trees, it's perfect for those after unwavering peace and privacy. 

Upon arrival, the home's stone exterior, wooden shutters and juniper roofing hark back to the place's history, and we can't help but swoon over the warm and inviting living space inside. Beamed ceilings and terracotta floors add plenty of visual interest, while the very earthy and natural colour palette will soon have you feeling right at home. Cook up a storm in the country-style kitchen, then spill out into the beautiful communal outdoor areas. 

With a completely-fenced garden of about 3000 sq/m, full of green foliage and potted flowers, you'll have no choice but to slow right down, adopt the pace of nature and unwind. Whether you're tucking into a lazy alfresco lunch on the terrace, cooling off with a few up and downs in your glistening pool or enjoying an apéritif under the pergola, you're sure to feel completely at ease. 

If you can muster up the energy to leave this beautiful home, there's so much exploring to do nearby. Start with a visit to the traditional neighbouring town of Castiglion Fiorentino, where age-old buildings, museums and artwork make for a great historical trip, just a twenty-eight-minute drive away. You'll also find the popular hilltop town of Cortona and the attractive city of Arezzo in less than thirty minutes by car. 

Old Tuscan Farmhouse

Welcome Hamper

This charming holiday apartment lies in the heart of Cortona, ideal for a romantic getaway. The terrace boasts lovely views of the surrounding landscape, though the outdoor space is overlooked by nearby buildings, so it doesn't feel the most private. Your host can provide a free high chair here and little ones will love the garden, though the interior decor is quite traditional and won't be for everyone. You'll find public parking a short walk away, but Cortona's mouth-watering restaurants and picturesque churches are reached easily on foot, so you won't need a car.

This Tuscan villa was once a hotel, so it’s well set up for large groups. All of the bedrooms are en-suite, there’s an industrial kitchen, and the huge lounge has plenty of sofas. With an indoor and outdoor pool, you can swim in every season here. Plus there’s a sauna and two of the en-suites have Jacuzzi bathtubs. The decor feels a little dated – particularly the bathrooms – but we love the formal dining room and the conservatory overlooking the Tuscan countryside. Located in the centre of Valdichiana, there are plenty of opportunities for hiking in the area. Or you can jump in the car for a day trip to the hilltop town of Cortona or the Medieval city of Arezzo.

Tucked away on the Tuscan hillside, this home is an idyllic retreat for larger groups seeking a slice of dolce vita. Tiled floors, exposed beams and warm tones stay true to the house’s origins and also provide a cool respite from sweltering summer temperatures outside. Upon arriving, drop your bags and dive straight into the impossibly large pool, or if swimming isn’t your thing, retreat to the library and curl up with a good book. Dinners are a breeze thanks to the wood-fired pizza oven – you can even pick your own toppings from the vegetable garden – what could be better than that? If can bear to leave your remote Tuscan idyll, you're within striking distance of Florence, just over an hour away, which is the birthplace of the Renaissance movement and one of the world's greatest art cities.

Vita Toscana

Wheelchair Access

Fenced Property

A traditional Tuscan villa nestled in the pristine countryside just a thirty-five-minute drive from Arezzo, this home is every bit as magical as it looks. Steeped in history and packed with period features and antiques, it's a slice of old-world romance that's suitable for a large group holiday or a special celebration. Surrounded by olive groves and with views over the Val di Chiana, it's set in a commanding position on a hilltop.

Terracotta tiles, ancient fireplaces and ornate vaulted ceilings are the order of the day inside, with tall, arched windows and vintage rugs. There's a corner bar in the living room and one of the most imposing fire surrounds we've ever seen, while the dining area can seat up to twenty-four guests – perfect for events. And you're welcome to cook for yourselves but for the ultimate in luxury, why not hire a private chef to do all the hard work in the stainless steel, professional kitchen for you? 

Nine en-suite bedrooms, some with their own sitting rooms and Jacuzzis, provide plenty of space and there's the option to add more beds if necessary. And for an additional fee, you can use the beautiful indoor pool and its sauna.

Outside, undulating lawns and flower beds give way to a large terrace with sun loungers, parasols and a dining pergola – not to mention a private pool of an excellent size. You can arrange for this villa to come with staff, becoming more of a hotel experience, or opt for independence. Either way, it's a perfect choice for a special break in the Tuscan countryside.

When staying in Tuscany, who doesn’t want a 16th-century villa, with life-size frescoes and acres of grounds to explore? This place sits between the medieval borgo of Monte San Savino (a ten-minute drive) and the alluring city of Arezzo (a fifteen-minute drive). 

This villa’s swimming pool really grabbed us – a long, turquoise triangle, covered at one end to keep you shaded during the heat of the day. Loungers sit beneath parasols and the huge, outdoor dining table is shaded by an L-shaped pergola, dappled with jasmine. There are sprawling lawns for the kids to run free, and a tennis court and ping pong table too.

Inside, each apartment has its own living area, from the grand lounge set around an ancient stone fireplace to the book-lined family snug and TV room. The kitchen is sleek and modern in slate grey and white but sits beneath the old wooden ceiling of this 16th-century villa for a touch of the past.  

Between The Olive Groves

Ideal for a group of friends or perhaps a multi-generational break, this farmhouse is said to be the oldest building in the village and, although it's been smartly modernised, it's still beautifully traditional. Just as it would have been when it was built, the main house is divided into separate apartments – one upstairs and one on the ground floor. With two small kitchens, two bedrooms and two bathrooms each, it's perfect if you'd like to all mingle in the outdoor space but retreat to some privacy at night. And with an additional one-bedroom guest house too, it becomes even more flexible.

Deep in the Cortona countryside, it's a great base for exploring Tuscany, with Arezzo, Montepulciano, Siena and Assisi all within easy reach for a day trip by car. Get out and about on walking or cycling routes and even visit the coast if you feel like it. While you're out, don't forget to pick up some delicious local food and drink – perhaps stopping to sample the offerings at the nearby wineries. And serve dinner out on the terrace before moving inside to your characterful, comfortable quarters for the night. 

By and By

Leave the tourist trail behind and embrace authentic Tuscan village life during a stay at this charming four-bedroom cottage. The charming stone facade is comfortably the oldest in town, with a history dating back hundreds of years, we're sure this place would have some stories to tell.

Your hosts have lovingly renovated the building to create two self-contained two-bedroom apartments that can be effortlessly combined for multi-generational family stays and getaways with groups of friends – all while maintaining a degree of privacy. With exposed stone walls, terracotta floors, and beamed ceilings, this sympathetic renovation preserves the period features and original character so well that, at times, you'll feel as though you've stepped into a time machine. However, with all the mod cons you'd expect, there'll be no reading by candlelight and washing clothes by hand, unless you want to, of course.

The village has a small convenience store within walking distance of the home, plus plenty of hiking and biking paths, including the Path of Reclamation. This 62km-long trail runs along the banks of the Canale Maestro della Chiana through the Cortona countryside between Arezzo and Chiusi.

However, you'll need to jump in the car for easy access to larger grocery shops and restaurants, which are just a short drive away in Cortona. The city shot to fame as the unwitting star of the 2003 Hollywood film 'Under the Tuscan Sun', but has managed to retain its soul. With its Medici fortress, history of handmade ceramics and fascinating museums, it's well worth a visit.

For adventures further afield, equally beautifully cities, such as Arezzo and Siena are within an hour's drive, while Italy's east and west coasts are within day-trip distance, at approximately two-and-a-half hours drive each way.

Tuscan Tradition

Stand on the flower festooned balcony of this large, stone-built farmhouse in the rolling Tuscan countryside and just take a few moments. With idyllic views over the estate's olive grove to the forest-clad hills beyond, we're sure you'll feel inspired. This gorgeous rural residence is perfect for groups looking for seclusion and tranquillity. 

Spend your days lounging by the pool or relaxing in the shade of the loggia. Enjoy dinner under the gazebo, and then when the light starts to fade, retire to the spacious interior. Here, a blend of classic period details – terracotta tiled flooring, wrought iron mezzanine balconies, brick arches and wooden beams – combine with sumptuous furnishings to create a convivial home. Wind up the vintage gramophone or entertain your guests at the piano in the living room – this is a home designed to be filled with music and laughter.

When you feel like exploring, head to the walled city of Castiglion Fiorentino, known for its annual festivals and its Etruscan archaeological sites, five kilometres away.



Gramophones & Gazebos

Black-Out Blinds

Surrounded by olive groves and ancient woods, this traditional farmhouse welcomes you to an authentic stay in the heart of Tuscany. 

Located on Pomaio hill with sweeping views across the countryside, this is a wonderful setting to retreat into the heart of nature. And from the moment you arrive, you’ll want to savour the rustic simplicity and charm of this home – it’s the perfect place to connect with the timeless beauty of Italy. 

Families and friends will love gathering here – the communal spaces feel warm and intimate, inviting you to slow down and enjoy quality time together. And whether you’re drinking your morning coffee in the garden, swimming in the pool or cooking in the cosy kitchen, this is the kind of home that enriches daily living. 

Outside, follow the garden path out into the surrounding countryside for an inspiring stroll, or make the short drive into the majestic city of Arezzo – just ten–minutes away. Whether you’re admiring 15th century frescoes and abbeys, or olive trees and vineyards, this home is the perfect setting to celebrate the authentic taste of Tuscany.

This home is a true haven nestled right in the heart of Arezzo. With its luscious garden and rustic interior, it's the perfect place to kick back and relax away from the hustle and bustle. 

Step inside, and you'll be enchanted by the traditional touches, from the terracotta tiles to the original fireplace and wooden ceiling beams. Budding chefs can whip up their favourite dishes in the kitchen, using the fresh Italian herbs provided. And, the leafy garden provides the ideal spot for a sundowner – open a bottle of Pinot Grigio and relax on the patio as you make some plans for the following day. 

The hilltop Arezzo Cathedral is not to be missed – admire the painted ceilings before strolling through the medieval town, gelato in hand. The nearby Piazza Grande is one of the most beautiful in the region, and is an awe-inspiring setting for a coffee or something stronger. And, if you want to explore more of eastern Tuscany then there's plenty to see just a short drive away – from vineyards to castles, there's something for everyone. 

Pistachio Pesto

Nothing says ‘la dolce vita’ quite like this authentic Italian villa, which you’ll find tucked away on the outskirts of Castiglion Fiorentino. Nestled deep in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, this rustic home dates back to the 17th century, so it’s no wonder that stepping inside feels like travelling back in time. Don’t worry though – there are plenty of modern amenities on-site to make your stay as comfortable as possible, so whether you need to join a last-minute Zoom meeting or want to spend the evening curled up in front of the TV, this Italian abode has got you covered.  

However you plan to spend your day, we’d recommend starting your morning with a leisurely coffee in the wooded garden, where you’ll be able to feast on views of the verdant Tuscan hills. When you’re finished, grab your swimming costume and take a dip in the shimmering infinity pool, or get dressed and wander down to the grocery store – just a ten-minute walk away – to pick up some fresh ingredients for lunch. If you fancy doing some sightseeing, it’s an eight-minute drive – or forty-five-minute walk – to Castiglion Fiorentino, the perfect place to learn more about the region’s rich history. When you’ve had your fill of ancient attractions – think the Cassero fortress and Pinacoteca Comunale – grab a bite to eat in one of the city’s pizzerias or head home and let yourself drift off in front of the villa’s gorgeous stone fireplace. Bliss.

Casa Castagna

Overlooking the lush Chiana Valley, this former farmhouse boasts views you won’t be forgetting any time soon. There are plenty of spots to sit back and soak it all in, but the pergola’s one of our favourites, perched right next to the pool and offering plenty of room for dining alfresco. The vineyard at the bottom of the garden is lovely too – and, while the interior’s a little dated, there’s a gorgeous stone fireplace to cosy up by if you’re visiting out of season.

Fresh As a Vine

If you’re in search of a traditional Tuscan escape, this home delivers a great solution. Just 10 kilometres from Cortona, this rustic sanctuary consists of three independent apartments (each with its own entrance) – making it a great option for groups and families. It’s worth noting some of the furnishings are a little dated, but you will find a peaceful garden, a private pool and a large terrace with a barbecue. Your host can also help organise a range of extra services, including cooking classes and spa treatments. From here, it’s just a short drive to local amenities, while majestic cities like Arezzo and Siena are also within easy reach. 

The Tuscan Song

When it comes to Tuscan idylls, this home ticks all the boxes. Set amongst Cortana’s rolling green hills, this renovated 19th century house is full of quiet corners and scenic spots waiting to welcome you into a world of rest and relaxation. Rural romance at its most beautiful, its stone exterior and wooden shutters give way to an intimate, rustic interior full of original features, exposed beams, brick archways and terracotta tiled floors. The soft mint-coloured bedrooms also have a feeling of elegant farmhouse simplicity with their wrought iron bed frames, floral accents and wood-framed windows. Here it’s the gardens, though, that are the most awe worthy. Stroll around the grounds and you’ll find a series of sunny spots and shaded nooks to while away the hours. Spend the afternoon taking dips in the pool’s cool waters then head to the viewing point at sunset to watch the sky turn amber and pink against the silhouetted hills. Enjoy a glass of wine here before fixing up a feast in the traditional kitchen, or head to the pergola for a barbecue under the stars.

Il Sogno

Retaining its original exposed stone structure and terracotta thatched roof, this villa stands tall just outside the small village of Alberoro. Spend mornings relaxing on the lush lawns by the private pool, where sprigs of lavender lend an air of tranquillity. Fire up the gas barbecue for an alfresco lunch in the courtyard, with striking views over the rural landscapes of the Aretine Val di Chiana and its surrounding villages. Large white umbrellas cover the many outdoor seating areas here, to shade you from the Mediterranean sun as you enjoy the views. Inside, this rustic home has luxurious touches throughout, including beautiful bathrooms with painted walls, blue velvet sofas, a 12-seater wrought iron dining table and a piano. As well as two separate living rooms, there's a light-filled library with comfy sofas, and a games room with foosball and a poker table. If you can tear yourself away, you’ll be just a short drive away from the quaint medieval town of Arezzo. 

Lavender Lawns

Multiple Sets of Keys

This quintessentially Italian home is nestled in the countryside just 5 kilometres from the beautiful town of Cortona. Days here can be spent hiking, cycling and exploring the historic hilltop towns of Tuscany. There’s also a private pool, a bocce court and a terrace with a barbecue – perfect for magical sunset meals. Inside, the rooms are traditional and full of character with plenty of space across the two floors to spread out. One of the rooms has bunk beds – making this a great option for families travelling with children. 

The Lucia

Set in 30,000 square metres of grounds, this home is the Tuscan dream. There’s a turquoise swimming pool for hot summer days, a volleyball and football pitch, and a well-tended orto (vegetable garden) where you can help yourself to seasonal sun-ripened produce and cook just like a local. If the weather is fine a barbecue might be in order – there are plenty of places to sit and enjoy a meal around the garden – plus an annex with a fully-equipped gym for burning off the feast the night before. Inside the traditional villa, there’s a luxuriously modern feel, yet the old Tuscan charm has been retained. Uplighting illuminates exposed brick archways and vaulted ceilings as though proudly displayed in a museum, and antique furniture sits alongside modern, comfy sofas. The sleek, minimalist kitchen has everything you need for an Italian feast from the orto and dinner can be accompanied by a bottle of local red from the stocked wine cellar (wine is not included in the rental price). This home is split between the main villa and a garden cottage. The garden cottage houses a full spa with massage rooms, a sauna and a Jacuzzi – just ask your host to make a booking. You’re in the Valdichiana hills here, looking out over olive groves and the rolling scenery Tuscany is famous for, and it’s a twenty-minute drive to the beautiful Etruscan town of Cortona.

Ten Green Bottles

Whether you're splashing about in the private pool, admiring the Tuscan scenery from the patio or dining on Italian delicacies in the setting sun, this charming villa is the perfect place to call home. Inside, every room oozes traditional character – stone walls here, wooden-clad ceilings there – creating a cosy, comfortable sanctuary. Each floor has its own sitting area and kitchen, making it ideal for groups wanting plenty of privacy and space to spread out.

The garden offers postcard-worthy views as soon as you step outside – and there are oodles of spots to sit back with a glass of wine and take it all in. Dish up lunch under the shade of the age-old trees before sprawling out on the loungers for a poolside afternoon snooze. When the sun begins to set, make a beeline for the terrace to watch the entire countryside glow golden.

Location-wise, you're only a fifteen-minute walk from Cortona. Soak up the Etruscan history and admire the town's medieval architecture, then take a break from sightseeing and enjoy a meal in the local eateries. Your host can also arrange experiences like wine tastings, tours and hot air balloon rides – all excellent options if you fancy something extra special.

Upon a Golden Dream

Smart TV

Giving way to sweeping views of the Arezzo hills, this villa's outdoor space is undoubtedly the main draw. With a swimming pool and ample seating for everything from alfresco dining to sunbathing, it's made for sun worshippers. Little ones will also adore the green back garden where they can let their imaginations and legs run free. Though it feels hard to beat the panoramic landscape, it does try. Starting with the indoors hot tub and sauna, where a large bi-fold door connects you to the outdoors. We also like the mix of modern and rustic elements here. As for location, you're a short drive from Arezzo.

The Italian holiday of your dreams awaits at this elegant villa, based in the rolling green hills of Valdichiana Aretina, providing peace and perspective in abundance.

This home has been styled with old-school opulence in mind, with ornate wooden furniture, exquisite soft furnishings and characterful decor, all making a stay here feel like a real treat. We love the stately reading room where you can grab a book from the library and enjoy some quiet time, as well as the lounge where you can sip your morning coffee while you discuss your daily itinerary with one another.

The outdoor areas here will blow you away. The private pool makes for some lovely moments of pure relaxation – especially when the sun starts to set – while the covered dining area provides the perfect spot for popping a bottle and toasting to your getaway.

Pietra House

Located just one mile from the hilltop town of Cortona, this Tuscan villa is made up of two apartments in one charming and traditional farmhouse. Both apartments have their own separate entrances, making this a great choice for large groups. Outside, the private pool is fenced and perfectly placed for stunning views, and children will love the expansive grounds. Animal lovers can bring their furry friends along, but it's important to note that a couple of dogs and even a friendly donkey live on the land, and the owner of the home lives nearby. Despite this though, you'll be granted full privacy during your stay.

Inside, traditional charm meets a touch of eccentricity – think vaulted ceilings, eclectic furnishings, and unexpected pops of colour. And when it comes to space? There’s more than enough to go around – two kitchens and generous communal areas make it ideal for large groups of friends or family get-togethers. Cortona, Siena and Florence are all within driving distance – though with a base like this, you might be tempted to stay put.

The Etruscan Lady

Like many traditional homes in Tuscany, this gorgeous old farmhouse is full of rustic elegance, with ivy and vines creeping over the exterior, beautifully matching it to its country surroundings. With traditional wooden floors boasting large woollen rugs and thick wooden beams on the ceilings, there’s no mistaking this home's authentic and historic character. Each of the three comfortable bedrooms is bright and full of country flair while the bathrooms are fitted with Italian patterned tiles. Outside, the garden runs down to the cool, inviting swimming pool and the wide terrace is the perfect place to sit for a barbecue lunch while taking in hilltop views of the Tuscan countryside. Just a 25-minute drive over the border from Tuscany to Umbria and you’ll reach the beautiful shore of Lago Trasimeno, a large freshwater lake where you can take a boat out or enjoy a meal in a taverna on the water’s edge.


A Touch Of Ivy

Sitting on the first floor of a noble palazzo in the typically Tuscan town of Cortona, this apartment will put a smile on the face of anyone fond of the opulence of yesteryear.

Wander about the home and you'll spot everything from intricate frescoes and high vaulted ceilings to a black marble fireplace and handsome wooden furnishings. This tasteful interior is bathed in natural light from the large windows, which also offer guests lovely views of the townscape and the wider valley.

We don't want to give you the impression that the address is a museum piece, however. The kitchen is plenty large enough for whipping up Tuscan feasts, plus the presence of a bathtub will be appreciated by those that like to end the day with a relaxing soak.

When you're in the mood to explore, the local town is small enough to get about on foot, although there are enough attractions with which to fill an itinerary, including the Diocesan Museum only five minutes' walk away and a good choice of restaurants dotted along the medieval streets.

Fresco Fantastico

Tucked away in Val di Chiana in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, this home promises an escape from it all. Ideal for larger groups, the main villa sleeps eight guests across four bedrooms. At the same time, the annexe accommodates four in a double and twin bedroom – perfect for those who like to holiday together yet still enjoy some privacy. The outdoor space will bring everyone together, without a doubt. Sun-kissed terraces and a private pool and hot tub, all wrapped in Mediterranean gardens. What’s not to love?

Tuscan Garden

Workplace

Made up of a main building and two annexes, nestled on a promontory and enjoying stunning views of the city and surrounding countryside, this home is a gorgeous blend of the traditional and the super modern. Sit by the fireplace in the main building or admire the art adorning the walls, or out by the private pool and catch some sun on the poolside loungers under the trees. While one annexe houses primarily bedrooms, the second can be enjoyed as an impressive modern gazebo with a fully-equipped kitchen and dining area, and large windows that can be lowered at the touch of a button. Read under the trees and enjoy picnics on the vast grounds, and dine alfresco in the furnished gazebo.

Although you'll enjoy tranquillity and serenity during your stay, there's only a ten-minute drive between you and the city of Arezzo. History buffs can visit the Roman amphitheatre and Medici Fortress, or dine like a local at the range of fantastic restaurants. Indulge in some retail therapy or breathe in the fresh air on the hiking trails of Misciano, before heading home to draw yourself a hot bath or enjoy late-night drinks on one of the multiple terraces.

Timeless Harmony

Dating back to the 18th century, this home provides the perfect setting for a dreamy Tuscan retreat – one that’s filled with the majestic beauty of the Italian countryside. And from the moment of arrival, you’ll want to pause to admire the unique charm of this setting. 

Surrounded by trees, the abundant garden fills the house with a wonderful sense of peace and tranquillity – inviting you to put down your bags and make your way inside. 

From the elegant styling, rustic stone and traditional features to the air-conditioned bedrooms (each with its own bathroom), the owners have honoured the building’s heritage whilst integrating contemporary comforts – including a lift to travel between floors. And with an abundance of living space, both inside and out, this is the perfect location to celebrate the simple pleasures of Italian living. So whether you’re enjoying a quiet morning coffee on the terrace, swimming in the pool, relaxing in the shade or sharing Italian-inspired feasts as the stars fill the sky, every moment promises to be enriched by the natural beauty of the surroundings. 

Beyond this private sanctuary, it’s just a short scenic drive to the hilltop town of Cortona, while the region is brimming with opportunities for long hikes, sightseeing, wine tasting and simply admiring the views across the Chiana Valley.
