About this villa rental

Simply marvelous! Private gardens. Unique and beautiful all year around!.
Private villa with gothic windows and fountain nestled in its own formal gardens. La Limonaia, which was originally designed to keep lemon trees warm in the winter, is part of a large estate near Arezzo / Castiglion Fiorentino that once belonged to the renowned Albergottis, a family whose history has been traced back over 1000 years. La Limonaia surrounded by its blossoming gardens is a completely independent, private, baronial-style home with its own cypress-lined entrance and driveway. After parking your car in the covered garage, you’ll walk through private gardens to a beautifully restored baronial guest house. This spacious 3-bedroom 2-bath home for up to five guests will pamper you with the best of sophisticated country living.
Furnished with 19th century antiques, this comfortable retreat offers an open spacious living room with cathedral ceilings, galery with garden views, designer kitchen with granite counter top, central heating, screened windows, unlimited high speed Wi-Fi, cozy fireplace, two patios, gazebo, barbecue, and uninterrupted views of gardens and wooded hills. In addition to the private gardens directly surrounding the house, which are for the exclusive use of Limonaia guests, you can enjoy an 800 meter private jogging trail, and walks through private woods and olive groves.
Simply marvelous! Unique and beautiful all year around!.

You can be sure that waiting lines for attractions will be far shorter then usual.

The loveliest place we have ever stayed through VRBO. La Limonia exceeds all expectations. Wander the property, explore the many gardens. Relax. Enjoy. Many thanks to Margareth and Arthur who were exceptional hosts, kind, friendly and helpful. Polly, Don, Chuck and Mary Jo

Our family of grown-ups spent a lovely time at La Limonaia. The house is gorgeous and the park around it lush. Margret's communication by mail was prompt, friendly and caring, and Arthur was a truly friendly, discreet, helpful and generous host. La Limonaia was a wonderful place to seek shade in the hot afternoons, while the garden provided freshness in the evening hours. The house is perfectly situated for cultural visits (apart from the obvious Florence, Siena and Perugia we were able to enjoy a marvelous Luca Signorelli anniversary expo in Cortona). The house is also very well situated for walks in the Tuscan countryside and mountains. We recommend this luxurious summer home for people looking for calm and beauty.

A Private Tuscan Garden Paradise
A Private Tuscan Garden Paradise
Our stay for the month of June at the lovely "La Limonaia" was truly memorable. A wonderful renovation of a 19th century limonaia located on a large private estate, this comfortable home felt like our home the moment we walked in. Filled with antiques and lots of comfortable seating, the 2-story living room was a delight. Both bedrooms had wrought iron beds and were extremely comfortable. The gardens are spectacular, with roses, lilies, lavender, hydrangea and more. My husband enjoyed spending time in the garden, doing a bit of pruning! The house is very private, with a private cypress-lined driveway and gated garden. Private, but also very centrally located to exploring Tuscany, with a nearby train station in Castiglion Fiorentino for trips to Florence and Rome. We enjoyed the many outdoor seating areas to view the olive groves, cherry trees and hills beyond. Arthur and Margreth are great hosts, very responsive but not intrusive. The weather was unusually hot while we were there, but the house has screens and shutters which kept the interior cool during the day. Highly recommend this property, the pictures online don't do it justice! We can't wait to return.

Magical Month

Four retired ladies from Canada spent a Magical Month in Tuscany, in part due to our accommodations at La Limonaia. We arrived on hot summer-like day, to a villa at that was just as advertised in the VRBO listing. Located within a large, old walled estate, it was safe and very private. The owners, who live part time in separate and larger house on the property were there to welcome us. As we do not speak Italian, we were glad they spoke English. They were very hospitable and over the course of our stay, gave us suggestions on where to shop, places to go and the best local places to dine. They even made a dinner reservation for us for the first night. The guesthouse was more than adequate for the four of us; we especially appreciated that the windows had screens, so we were able to let fresh air in & keep the mosquitos out. It proved to be a perfect home base for exploring the region, but a car is a must as it is not within easy walking distance of any town. If going to that part of Tuscany, we would recommend this home-away-from-home.

A fantastic villa in amazing setting. We could not believe our luck. The villa’s owners were friendly and helpful without being intrusive. You might even be lucky enough to see around their own villa.

Beautiful villa with a fascinating history and an inspiring garden
Beautiful villa with a fascinating history and an inspiring garden
This quiet well appointed villa was the centerpiece for our two week stay in the Tuscany. Margreth and Arthur welcomed us as friends and by the end of our stay made us feel as family. The villa is thoughtfully decorated and features all the modern conveniences, including a flat screen tv with English channels! Arthur traces continuous ownership of the property, which includes their much, much larger villa next door and the remaining 10 hectares of a formerly much larger landholding to his ancestors beginning the 15th century. His passion for that history and for continuing restoration is infectious. The only real complaint is that the second bathroom is both inconveniently located (on the second floor) and almost impossible to use for folks over 6 ft tall. Otherwise, could not have asked for better accommodation or a more enjoyable experience.
