Not far from the hilltop town of Arezzo, this villa offers a chic and rustic stay in the Italian countryside, with gorgeous views and a private pool. We think this home is well-suited to two families or friend groups travelling together – the two floors act as separate apartments, each with its own kitchen, living room and entrance. The ground floor enjoys direct access to the alfresco dining area, while the first floor benefits from lovely views across the Tuscan landscape. We recommend having a car here – the cities of Siena and Florence are just over an hour's drive away.


The Plum Promise

  • No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.
  • Hosts we know – With track records of high-quality hosting.
  • Rated ‘Excellent’ on Trustpilot – Exceptional service before, during and after your stay.

Machiavelli, da Vinci, Botticelli, Michaelangelo, Galileo - it’s hard to concisely capture Florence’s monumental impact on the arts, science and philosophy, but a swift run-through of some of the main names active in the Republic during the Renaissance era gives you an idea of just how influential it really was. Today’s tourists will be only too happy to learn that much of the Tuscan city’s historic centre remains unchanged since...
