This stone villa is perfectly harmonious with its surroundings – situated high in the Arezzo hills, this renovated house sits amongst organic orchards and centuries-old beech, strawberry and juniper trees. You’ll experience unrivalled privacy in this impressive estate, which focuses on connecting you with your natural surroundings. This home looks stunning from every angle, both inside and out. From the moment you step inside, you’ll feel its history – with its stone walls, high-beamed ceilings, open hearths, Renaissance artworks and a mosaic of windows. There’s plenty of space for you and your guests – with spacious, stone-arched ceilings and a flowing, open-plan layout – and it's equally adept for socialising and private moments. Here, the details do not just complement the surrounding landscape – they are built around them. Spend mornings plunging into the pool or working up a sweat on the volleyball court before blending a smoothie to enjoy under the shade of the olive trees. The glasshouse is a real focal point of this home, with its rust-coloured frame and photovoltaic ceiling – you couldn’t find a more idyllic spot for performing your vinyasa flows as the early sun rises. Afternoons can be enjoyed in the biodynamic orchard, where you can choose a selection of produce for tonight’s dinner, whether you’re in the mood to put on your apron or have your host organise your meals. As dusk arrives, why not indulge in some personal time in the sauna? If you’re seeking exploration, the drive to Arezzo’s city centre lies only thirteen minutes away. Discover the 15th-century fresco of Mary Magdalene in the Arezzo Cathedral, then head to the Medicean Fortress for sweeping views over the city.
