Chianti Aretino

This property is one of Italy’s finest country villas, this grand Tuscan home is set in the heart of the Chianti Aretino, that stretch of photo-friendly landscapes of orange, yellow and green hills between Siena and Arezzo, surrounded by thousands of acres of magnificent grapevines and crop fields, with manicured gardens all around. The villa offers a panoramic view over its own estate, and represents a perfect sample of the countryside life in this area: nature is luscious, the exterior area is scented like flowers blossoming in spring and the entire experience is quintessentially Italian. The Art collection, amassed largely by the owners' family, is evident throughout the main villa and includes some very rare pieces from the tenth century, so guests who appreciate history and art will be able to add the pleasure of being surrounded by such beauty as well as the impressive choice of materials -a good exam[ple being the table in marble, gold and lapis lazuli.

With the main house and the three independent annexes, this is a perfect situation for a larger group who still likes occasions where they can split into smaller groups, and be a bit seperated from each other at times, with their own living areas.

The pleasure of silence, the enchanting surroundings, the possibility to hire a chef to prepare a simple salad with some fresh tomatoes from the back garden as well as a Michelin rated style like dinner, the proximity to several small villages with restaurants, bread shops, organic markets, artisan’s shops, hidden little churches and monuments, not to mention proximity to the most famous cities of Tuscany are all part of the best package and experience a villa traveller would want.

Local Area

Arezzo is the capital of the homonymous province in Tuscany, situated in the middle of three valleys: to the Nord there is the Casentino, to the North-West we found Valdarno and moving South there is Val di Chiana, with its rich wines and delicious meat. The whole province has its roots deep-buried into the history:  the Etrurians once populated this place, followed by the Romans, which both left a trace of their architecture in the figure of the city. There are a lot of interesting sites-to-see: The Basilica di San Francesco with its beautiful frescos, made by Italian Renaissance painting masters; the Piazza Centrale (the main square of Arezzo) one of the most important Architectural complexes of Italy, which hosts the medieval heart of the city. This and furthermore could be found in Arezzo, that offers everything one expects from Tuscany: lovely sorroundings, a warming hospitality, art and gourmet -directly from the countryside of Val di Chiana- without the background noise of too many tourists. A must to see is the big antiques fair, that happens every first weekend of the month: it gathers more than 500 sellers from all over the world. It's also to recommend La Giostra del Saracino, a medieval joust that takes place in June and September: two days in which Piazza Grande fills with flag-wavers and jousting knights.
