Property Summary
Nestled among the iconic green hills of Tuscany's Val d'Arno, Villa il Magnifico is a distinguished historic manor house that once served as a hunting lodge during the era of the Medici Seigniory. Located near the charming town of Reggello, in Italy, this exceptional vacation rental has been meticulously restored by its owners to preserve the authentic character of its storied past while offering every modern comfort. The renovation has been carried out with careful attention to period materials, including wooden ceilings with terracotta tiles, handmade Impruneta terracotta floors, a classic pietra serena fireplace, and a graceful round arch dividing the living room. Spacious, elegantly furnished rooms and a beautifully maintained garden make this property an ideal retreat for families and large groups seeking a refined and peaceful escape in the Tuscan countryside. Guests benefit from complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the property, private parking on site, and a generous private yard that extends across manicured lawns, fragrant herb gardens, and colourful flower beds, all framed by olive groves and cultivated meadows.

The outdoor spaces of Villa il Magnifico are a true celebration of the Tuscan landscape. The expansive garden is bordered by carefully maintained hedges that ensure complete privacy, while vast stretches of cultivated meadows and olive groves create a breathtaking natural backdrop. Throughout the garden, guests are welcomed by an abundance of colourful flowers, lemon trees typical of the region, and a dedicated herb corner where fresh ingredients can be gathered to prepare traditional Tuscan dishes. Under the portico adjacent to the kitchen, a large outdoor dining table offers a remarkable view of the castle of Sammezzano, accompanied by a well-equipped barbecue for al fresco meals. In the area in front of the entrance, a shaded lounge area with comfortable seating provides a panoramic outlook over the rolling green hills.

Description
Property Summary
Nestled on a scenic promontory less than 3 kilometres from the historic city of Arezzo, in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, Villa Ninfeo is an exceptional vacation rental that combines timeless elegance with contemporary comfort. The property takes its evocative name from the beautiful water lilies, known in Italian as ninfee, that adorn the large stone vases lining the pool's edge, creating a fairy-tale atmosphere that welcomes you the moment you turn into the driveway. The complex comprises 2 distinct buildings: a main villa and a nearby annex, both distinguished by an exceptionally high aesthetic standard, featuring period furniture, original artworks, precious carpets, fireplaces, and innovative design elements seamlessly integrated with home automation technology. Surrounding both structures is a magnificent one-hectare park, designed by a renowned landscape architect and home to an extraordinary collection of more than twenty thousand ornamental plants from around the world. The property offers private parking for up to 4 cars at the entrance gates, along with a one-car garage, ensuring effortless arrivals and departures. A reliable wireless internet connection is available throughout the stay, keeping you connected while you enjoy the tranquillity of this remarkable retreat. The fully fenced yard extends across several terraces around the hilltop, offering unforgettable panoramic views of Arezzo and the rolling hills covered in cultivated fields, olive groves, and vineyards stretching to the horizon.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Villa Ninfeo are nothing short of extraordinary, representing a true masterpiece of landscape design spread across multiple terraces and levels. The one-hectare park winds gracefully around both buildings, marked along its perimeter by an oak wood and framed by spectacular expanses of cultivated land. Paved pathways connect all areas of the estate, guiding you through a sparkling symphony of blossoms, vast areas of lawn, and a remarkable collection of tree species gathered from around the world. Please note that the photographs of the property were taken in spring, so the flowering and the colour of the garden grass may differ at the time of your arrival.
At the heart of the outdoor experience is the oval-shaped swimming pool, positioned between the main villa and the annex, approximately 10 metres from the annex. The non-heated pool is open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday of October and measures 7 by 14 metres, with a depth ranging from 90 cm to 2.50 metres. Entry into the water is via submerged steps, and a diving board is also available. The pool is fully lined with dry-mounted Tuscan stone, with a grey-blue cement bottom that lends a beautifully natural effect within its sandstone-paved surround. On 2 sides, large stone vases filled with water lilies add a romantic and distinctive touch. The pool area is equipped with comfortable sunbeds for sunbathing and is complemented by a romantic gazebo covered in climbing ivy, furnished with sofas and armchairs for those who prefer the shade. A hot and cold-water shower and chlorine purification system complete the pool facilities.
Throughout the park, several carefully arranged relaxation and dining areas invite you to make the most of the outdoor setting. A pretty wooden gazebo furnished with a dining table sits at the exit of the annex, directly in front of the pool. A convenient dining area covered by a large umbrella is positioned near the dining room of the main villa, while a discreet portico at the entrance to the living room overlooks a scenic fountain built with river stones, ideal for reading or simply unwinding. A cool, shady woodland area is also accessible via the paved pathways that connect all parts of the estate.

One of these bedrooms opens directly onto the garden through a French window, while the other is accessed through a study that includes a double sofa bed.
A few metres uphill along a paved path, the annex offers a striking contrast with its huge open-plan living room beneath a high gable roof, combining a lounge area with an additional large television and a dining area centred around an elegant black table with chairs. Thanks to the home automation system, the large windows that line the room lower automatically at the touch of a button, seamlessly connecting the interior with the gazebo and the adjacent pool area. A super-functional modern kitchen in polished aluminium, equipped with 2 ovens, completes the main level. On the lower floor, accessible only from the outside, there are 3 double bedrooms, one of which serves as a walkthrough room providing access to the other 2.

Distances and Attractions

The property is located just a few kilometers from the Autostrada del Sole, making it easily accessible from major Italian cities and international airports.
The surrounding landscape is one of the most evocative in the valley, distinguished by the presence of the so-called crags, dramatic rocky erosions formed following the drying up of a large ancient lake that once covered the Arno valley, and which many believe to be portrayed in the backgrounds of paintings by Leonardo da Vinci. These formations offer enchanting scenery particularly at sunset, when shadows play across the steep walls and furrows of the terrain.
The property is accessed via the Setteponti road, the ancient route linking Arezzo and Vallombrosa, along which numerous CAI hiking and mountain biking routes depart, allowing guests to explore the entire area of the crags on foot or by bike. The surrounding countryside is dotted with rural architecture and Romanesque churches, including the famous basilica of Gropina, which dominates the village of Loro Ciuffenna, classified among the most beautiful villages in Italy.
