You’ll find this lavish Tuscan villa at the end of a tree-lined drive, where cypresses stand sentinel against the rolling landscape. A swimming pool set in the perfectly manicured lawn provides a cooling reprise from the Tuscan sun, and there are plenty of loungers to while away the days. Dining outdoors can be taken on the gravel patio, beneath huge parasols, or perhaps amidst the rusticana of the loggia with its built-in wood oven. The terrace, overlooking the fields below, is the perfect spot for a sundowner. Terracotta and flagstone floors inside retain that old Tuscan feel, alongside frescoed walls and ceilings. Living areas with plush sofas are connected by brick archways and rooms illuminated by candelabra and Moroccan lamps. Marble statues, shelves teeming with books and rich oil paintings all add that luxurious feel. The main kitchen, in chrome and steel, looks like it belongs to a fine-dining restaurant and each of the three apartments on each of the villa’s floors has its own kitchenette. Bedrooms are fit for a fairytale with swathes of silk for headboards and exposed stone walls. When it comes to exploring the area, you can reach the medieval city of Arezzo in just twenty minutes by car or stick around to enjoy farm-to-table restaurants and local pizzerias in the walkable Castiglion Fibocchi.
