Terracotta floors, wooden beams, and exposed stone tell the story of a 19th-century farmhouse carefully brought back to life – and the original fireplace in the living room makes it a warm base for cooler evenings. Outside, a large private garden with a barbecue area looks out over rolling Tuscan hills, and a terrace invites long, unhurried meals alfresco. The hilltop medieval town of Castiglion Fiorentino is an eight-minute walk away, while Arezzo's famous Piazza Grande and the Renaissance streets of Montepulciano are well within reach for day trips.

Home truths
At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
One of the two bedrooms can be arranged as twin beds instead of a double – let your host know in advance if you'd prefer that layout.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a high chair and changing table. You'll need to request these in advance.
You're in the Tuscan countryside just outside the historic centre, so a car is the most practical way to get around and reach neighbouring towns.
