Nice
Its a nice place but it is on top of a hill with a really small road to it...almost no place to pass another car. When we arrived the host thought we would arrive the day after, so we had to wait for another hour for the key. The house was fine, big enough, nice bedrooms and living room and kitchen is fine. The pool is great! The winery is super and really tastefull! We had a nice vacation.

Beau séjour Toscan
Nous avons passé 3 semaines très agréables à Ornina. Un décors magique et un calme total. La piscine pour les retours de ballades et superbe et le jardin très bien entretenu. La maison très agréable également, demande quelques travaux mais la propriétaire va les faire. Sinon c est très confortable. Attention toutefois les belles villes et villages ne sont pas à moins de 30 mn de voiture. 1h 30 pour Florence, 1h45 pour siene, 1h45 pour Perouzze. Mais le temps de trajet vaut le coup, tant le retour à la maison est sublime. A essayer absolument le restaurant se trouvant à Castel Focognano pour la qualité de l assiette et le village ( tout prêt lui par contre). Enfin passer par la Ombrie tout aussi magnifique que la Toscane et à equi- distance d autres beaux endroits Toscans ( gros plus de cette location ). Merci à Massimo !!!!! On recommande ++++++++++++

Ruhe und Natur
Wir, 2 Erwachsene, waren 14 Tage in diesem wundervollen Ferienhaus. Es ist sehr schön gelegen, mitten in der Natur, viel Grün, toller Ausblick auf die bewaldeten Hügel der Toskana, viele Tiere... Wer Ruhe und Entspannung sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen und der Kontakt zu Cecilia war verbindlich und sehr herzlich. Sie hatte uns vor der Ankunft schon viele Tipps per email geschickt, wo wir am besten einkaufen, essen usw. Das war super. So haben wir Angelio und seine Familie aus dem Restaurant Il Mulino kennengelernt und die beste Pizza überhaupt gegessen. Unbedingt hingehen! In der Umgebung haben wir uns viele kleine, tolle Orte angesehen, von Bibienna über Poppi bis Arezzo. Die größeren sehenswerten Städte wie Siena, Florenz, San Gimignano oder Pisa sind immer ein Tagesausflug , aber es lohnt sich und in Arezzo gibt es einen Bahnhof mit Direktverbindung nach Florenz. Im Haus selbst sind die wichtigsten Dinge vorhanden, die Küche ist vollständig eingerichtet, Öl, Gewürze etc. Haben wir vor Ort gekauft. Wir haben uns im Haus, dem geräumigen Wohnzimmer und auch an den schattigen Sitzplätzen um das Haus herum sehr wohlgefühlt, hatten einen guten Mix aus Entspannung am Pool und Unternehmungen. (Mückenschutz nicht vergessen!) Wir danken Cecilia und Massimo für den herzlichen Kontakt und den tollen Tipp bei Greta und Mario eine Weinprobe zu machen. Das war auch ein ganz tolles Erlebnis. Wir können diese Destination nur empfehlen und werden vielleicht nochmal wiederkommen, denn es gibt so Vieles in der Toskana zu sehen und zu erleben.

About the host

Hosted by Cecilia

Host profile image
I work as psychologist and psycotherapist in Florence, I live in Florence, too. I help my husband Massimo and his siter Elena in renting their cottage with pool since 1998. It is lovely very especial place with a huge private space on the country-side that is a wonderful natural space for relaxing and enjoying a special holiday in Toscana. The region next to Arezzo and Casentino is all to discover!

Why they chose this property

What to visit: Arezzo is an extraordinary city of art renowned for its goldsmiths and antiques traders. The old town is home to valuable monuments including the imposing Medici Fortress, the Cathedral, the Diocesan Museum and the Basilica of San Domenico. The Archaeological Museum showcases many a valuable find, recalling the city’s importance during the Etruscan heyday. The heart of the city is Piazza Grande, surrounded by buildings of various periods and styles - among them the Medieval towers and the Renaissance style Loggiato Vasariano (Visit also Casa Vasari). The itinerary continues to Monterchi, with its stunning fresco of the Madonna del Parto. Do not miss a visit to the small town of Caprese Michelangelo, the birthplace of Michelangelo Buonarroti; a museum, set within the old castle, is dedicated to the artist. Of great artistic and religious interest is the Sanctuary of La Verna in the Casentino Forests. Visit Florence and Siena, too.
What to do: Unspoiled nature and cultivated countryside! the Province of Arezzo offers a variety of opportunities to enjoy a holiday in the open air, taking part in various physical activities. The Foreste Casentinesi Monte Falterona e Campigna National Park is the ideal place for excursions on foot, by bicycle or on horseback, while in winter the same paths can be enjoyed on skis and snowshoes. Cycling enthusiasts can follow the Canale Maestro della Chiana bike and foot trail from Arezzo to Cortona, through areas perfectly suited for an athletic holiday amidst unspoiled scenery.
Gourmands may choose to follow the food and wine itineraries that wind through the main valleys of Arezzo Province.

What makes this property unique

Ideal for familes of any age. It is a truly beautiful and restful location. The renovated cottage is home from home and the pool a delight. You are surrounded by nature. There is also plenty to see and do a little further afield - Florence, Siena, Arezzo, Cortona, Poppi, Roma, Perugia. It's possible to visit Rome on a day especially if you take the Frecciarossa train from Arezzo (it take only 1,10 h). Also the train Arezzo-Florence is very confortable: The direct train takes 1 h and the Frecciarossa takes 35 min.
