Tucked away in the Tuscan countryside, this 18th-century villa has been lovingly restored into an inviting retreat. It’s nestled among lush forests and olive groves, providing peace and privacy in a scenic setting. The rooms have all the character you’d expect from a period home, paired with comforts like a modern kitchen and en-suite bedrooms. And outside, you can admire sweeping views over dinner and drinks on the terrace or take a dip in the sunny pool. Your host also runs a cooking school here, so you can add a few local dishes to your repertoire. Prefer not to cook? You’ll find restaurants in the nearby town of Bibbiena, while historic Arezzo is only forty-five minutes by car.

This home is managed directly by its owner who will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Host of Casale Chiesina, a private Tuscan villa in the Casentino Valley, one of the most authentic and unspoiled areas of Tuscany. I personally welcome guests seeking a peaceful experience surrounded by forests, olive groves and beautiful landscapes. At the villa guests can also enjoy curated local experiences such as cycling tours across Tuscany and traditional cooking. My goal is to make every stay authentic, relaxed and memorable.
