The villa is located in the heart of Tuscany, between Florence and Arezzo, in a splendid position with a panoramic view of the medieval castle of Poppi.

The villa dates back to the beginning of the 20th century, which has been lovingly restored and offers every comfort. It can accommodate up to ten people and has five bedrooms, four bathrooms, an independent kitchen and two living rooms on a living space of 180sqm. It is on two levels and has three entrances. On the ground floor there is a double bedroom with bathroom en suite with shower (disabled), a tearoom with a wood-burning stove, a sofa and a desk, a dining room with sofas, a satellite TV and a kitchen with a fireplace , Hoods, and refrigerator with freezer. On the upper floor there are two double bedrooms each with a bathroom en suite with shower and two double bedrooms with a shared bathroom with shower (the upper floor has direct access to the garden).

In the outdoor area is the private pool (5x11m) with indoor and outdoor lighting, shower and sunbathing (open during the intermediate and high season). The villa is very bright and is very quiet, surrounded by a centuries-old oak forest where you can find deer, fallow deer and deer or, depending on the season, mushrooms, blackberries or olives. This is why the villa is an ideal holiday destination where you can enjoy the peace surrounded by nature. There is a fantastic brick and roofed barbecue with lighting, barbecue, wood oven for pizzas, sink with drinking water, shelves, table and chairs so that you can enjoy the dishes outdoors and enjoy the splendid views of the enchanting Valle del Casentino.

The owners welcome their guests with their welcome specials and prepare homemade noodles with pudding for the guests once a week. The holiday home is completely fenced with a two meter high fence.

The villa is surrounded by nature and is just five minutes from the pilgrimage church of Camaldoli, the golf course, the center of Poppi (one of the most beautiful medieval towns in Italy) and the Foreste Casentinesi National Park.

The Adriatic coast is about 90 minutes' drive away, while the Tyrrhenian Sea is a two-hour drive. Bathing is also possible in the lake, which is 1.5 km from the center of Pratovecchio, or in the river Arno. Excursions can be made to the Zoo of Poppi, to the pilgrimage church of the Verna, the hermitage of Camaldoli and the National Park of Foreste Casentinesi. Florence is an autostate, Arezzo 40 minutes by car and Siena 90 minutes by car. From Arezzo you can reach Rome by express train in only one hour and 5 minutes, so even day trips are possible

A truely wonderful place!
We spent a lovely two weeks in this beautiful house! Monica was super responsive to all our questions in the weeks before our trip and her fresh pasta was such a delicious treat! The house itself is perfect for a family holiday, hidden in the woods but a short drive from Poppi and its restaurants. It has everything one needs and is very comfortable, the stunning views from the pool are an added bonus! We hope to come back soon!

Alles tiptop
Hat alles gepasst. Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und haben uns Essen gebracht! Hier hat man seine Ruhe, das Haus ist recht abgeschieden und hat eine schöne Aussicht auf Poppi und das Castellion. Sehr zu empfehlem für eine Reise mit Freunden oder Familie.

Relaxing & well looked after
Monica made it all very easy to arrive, check in & really enjoy the week. Homemade pasta & sauce were lovely. The house easy to live in & the pool being so close made for a very relaxing stay. Thank you

Great villa for friends
Our group of 8 had a great time T this property. Everything we wanted was provided and extra (pasta on arrival and pizza dough) Monica was a brilliant host and the outside eating area/bbq/pizza oven is brilliant. The only downside was that we were not aware that electricity and gas were not included in the price of the reservation.

Sehr schön, aber "abgewohnt"
Uns hat das Haus und Grundstück sehr gut gefallen, sind aber durch die vielen Mängel sehr enttäuscht. Der Spülmaschinenkorb war defekt, Ameisen waren in der Küche. Die Couch im Wohnzimmer war stark verbraucht, die Poolbeleuchtung ging auch nicht. Die Duschkabinen in beiden Bädern waren undicht, so dass wir jedes Mal nach dem Duschen putzen mussten. Das sogenannte behinderte gerechte Bad ist keins, weil man mit dem Rollstuhl nicht in die Dusche und nach dem Türöffnen nicht zum Waschbecken kommt. Der Wasserdruck in den Bädern ist sehr niedrig. Aussage der Mieterin: Bei guter Bewertung bekommt lhr hundert Euro zurück. ( Wir haben es nicht getan) Fazit: Für diesen Preis kann man viel mehr erwarten, was wir eigentlich so gewohnt sind.
