Immerse yourself in the mystical beauty of this ancient land and its history with a stay at this unique home. Nestled amidst the rolling hills and green fields, this stone gem dates back to the sixteenth century – and while it still preserves all of its original grandeur, it also feels like home, with all the comforts to make your stay a relaxing and restorative one. Arrive to be awed by the impressive façade and the surrounding gardens, with ancient trees and lovingly tended to plots of organic fruit and vegetables. You’ll feel light years away from the hustle and bustle of modernity, and the serene holiday mode will descend upon you the moment you step your foot on this land. Come inside to be welcomed by the cosy interior, with the original wooden beams on the ceiling, stone walls and terracotta floors. We love just how much space there is here to lounge about and enjoy the tranquillity – for those lovely evenings of fine wine and conversation opt for the snuggly sofas and the warmth of the fireplace. You can also spend ages wandering around and admiring the unique art pieces which hang on the walls or gazing out of the windows at the fantastic views. With the huge country kitchen and all the organic produce available in the garden, you’ll no doubt feel inspired to create delicious feasts – share them with your loved ones at the grand dining table. In the heat of the afternoon, why not head outside to take a dip in the pool or simply relax with your holiday reads at one of the comfy sun loungers dotted around. Awake feeling well-rested and refreshed, courtesy of the grand and luxurious bedrooms, and enjoy a cup of freshly brewed Italian coffee out in the garden. The day is just starting and you can fill with all the fantastic activities available here: why not try yoga with your host Daniela or head out to explore the vast grounds and the picturesque countryside around you. When you’re ready to see more of the region, you’ll find yourself just ten minutes away from the historic city of Arezzo, with its rich tradition of art and craftsmanship. Marvel at the masterpieces of Giotto and Della Francesca or visit the medieval churches and ancient palazzos.
