Description
A beautiful villa born from the skilful and refined renovation of an old manor house built at the end of the 19th century and situated in a panoramic position on a hilltop overlooking Lake Chiusi. Villa Poggio Falcone is located on the edge of interesting tourist itineraries dedicated to the discovery of the Etruscans and nature. The town of Chiusi is only 7 km away, while Castiglione del Lago and Lake Trasimeno are 13 km away.
A few tens of metres from the villa is the 'Sentiero della Bonifica' (Land Reclamation Path), an interesting pedestrian-cycling route that connects Arezzo to Chiusi along the Canale Maestro della Chiana. The route is quite flat and therefore suitable for walks and cycling for the whole family. For nature lovers and birdwatchers, on the other hand, there is the Montepulciano Oasis just 10 minutes away.
It won't be difficult to make families with children or groups of friends happy in such a beautiful location, combining interesting day trips with relaxing days around the large private swimming pool (size m. 6x12, depth m. 1.00-1.60 - open from 01st May to 30th September) with solarium equipped with sun beds, tables, chairs and umbrellas. Also next to the swimming pool there are Jacuzzi and Sauna (available during the whole year included in the rental price).
Villa Poggio Falcone is immersed in a vast, completely fenced, park of centuries-old trees, where your dogs can run freely. At the bottom of the valley is the railway line that connects Chiusi with central Italy. The well-kept furnishings, good interior finishes, air conditioning and a well-equipped kitchen guarantee a pleasant and relaxing holiday. Nicola the owner will give you a warm welcome and will delight you with breakfasts, lunches or dinners, which you can enjoy directly at home or in the “ristoro” situated at the edge of the garden.

Description
Property Summary
Nestled in the rolling hills of Tuscany, Il Molinaccio is an extraordinary vacation rental that invites you to experience the timeless beauty of the Italian countryside near the Renaissance town of Montepulciano, Italy. This remarkable property is the result of a meticulous and passionate restoration of an ancient watermill dating from the sixteenth century, already documented on the old maps of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. The original architecture has been lovingly preserved, with terracotta floors, exposed beams, and stone façades seamlessly blended with modern comforts and tasteful furnishings that draw from the rich rural tradition of Tuscany. The interior combines salvaged pieces of antique furniture with contemporary accessories, achieving a harmonious balance between tradition and functionality. Designed with a deep respect for the environment, the restoration was carried out according to sustainable principles, incorporating innovative systems that guarantee complete energy efficiency, including a photovoltaic system that offers free recharging for electric vehicles. The property is surrounded by a generous yard that includes a colorful garden bordered by century-old oak trees, a fruit grove, and a 3.5-hectare vineyard. Wireless Internet connection is available throughout the property, keeping you connected while you enjoy the absolute tranquility of this unique setting. 2 covered parking spaces are provided on-site for your convenience, ensuring a comfortable and practical stay from the moment of your arrival.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Il Molinaccio are as captivating as the interiors, offering a seamless extension of the property's natural elegance. The property is immersed in a one-hectare park consisting primarily of woodland, while the house itself is surrounded by approximately 6,000 square metres of well-maintained garden lawn framed by old oak trees that provide generous shade and a natural coolness on warm summer days. Rose bushes and geraniums add vibrant splashes of color to this oasis of green and tranquility. A beautiful stone portico, furnished with a table and benches, provides an ideal setting for pleasant outdoor meals in the open air. Just outside the kitchen, a large paved area has been equipped as an additional dining space, perfect for alfresco gatherings. A large barbecue is available for your use, inviting you to prepare flavorful grills accompanied by a glass of the estate's own Nobile di Montepulciano. The small forest is crossed by the river Salcheto, along which the owners Marco and Alessandro have created a walking footpath with natural bridges, ideal for leisurely strolls or moments of relaxation on handmade wooden benches while enjoying the surrounding natural landscape. Along the river, 3D targets representing local animals have been positioned, transforming the path into a fully fledged Field Archery Range where both professionals and amateurs may practice or learn this ancient sport with the assistance of a skilled trainer. A small outbuilding serves as a laundry facility. The property's cats wander freely throughout the park, adding a charming and authentic rural atmosphere to your stay. Please be aware that photographs of the property were taken in spring, and therefore the blossoming of flowers and the color of the garden grass may differ at the time of your arrival.
Positioned in front of the villa, set among the walls of the old trench where water was once collected and channeled to the watermill, the scenic infinity swimming pool is a true highlight of the estate. Open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October, the pool is non-heated and measures 5 x 18 metres, with a depth varying from 1.20 metres to 1.60 metres. Rather than conventional chlorine treatment, the pool uses a saltwater disinfection system, which is considerably healthier, free from added chemicals, and offers notable benefits including reduced eye irritation and improved tanning. The water has a light and pleasant salty taste. The rectangular pool is equipped with Roman steps for easy water access, underwater lighting, and a cold-water shower. The surrounding solarium area is paved with travertine and furnished with sunbeds, deckchairs, umbrellas, and small tables.

Property Summary
Nestled in the rolling hills of Tuscany, Italy, Villa delle Sophore is an extraordinary eighteenth-century residence located just a few kilometers from Lake Trasimeno, with the ancient Etruscan city of Cortona visible in the distance. This remarkable vacation rental occupies what was historically a border and smuggling area between the Grand Duchy of Tuscany and the Papal States, lending the property an atmosphere of rare historical depth and romance. The villa has been thoughtfully restored through a decidedly conservative renovation that has preserved its original character while ensuring every modern comfort is at hand. Painted frescoes, vaulted ceilings, a majestic atrium, and a collection of antique furnishings sourced through years of patient research by the owners create an environment that feels both timeless and deeply welcoming. LCD televisions, stereos, and Internet WiFi connectivity are seamlessly integrated into the interiors, ensuring guests enjoy contemporary convenience without compromising the villa's historic charm. The surrounding yard and park-garden, shaped by the mild lake climate and planted with species of rare botanical beauty, extend the sense of grandeur beyond the villa's walls. The owners reside in a private annex of the property with a separate entrance, making themselves available to guests throughout their stay. When renting this property in this configuration, no other guests will be present anywhere on the estate, guaranteeing complete exclusivity and privacy.
Outdoors
The exterior of Villa delle Sophore is a carefully maintained park-garden that reflects the nineteenth-century tradition of blending English and Italian landscaping styles. The grounds are home to oak forests, local flora and fauna, and plants of rare beauty, including the pair of giant pendulous Japanese sophoras from which the villa takes its name, considered the finest examples of their kind in the entire territory. A beautiful period lemon house, an ancient gazebo, a solarium area, and a magnificent contemporary fountain complete the park and create a series of distinct outdoor spaces to explore and enjoy.

Description
We find Podere Marcigliano nestled in the green Valdichiana, on a gentle hill at the gates of the town of Cortona, which is a must-visit destination. First with its Etruscan and then Roman reminiscences, the town enjoyed considerable prosperity during the medieval period and from 1411 followed the glorious fortunes of the Granducato di Toscana. Its cobbled alleys that wind their way up the hill, the ancient buildings, squares and churches, will make you fall in love with this small and industrious centre of the Valdichiana of Arezzo area, a memory you will always carry in your heart in the years to come, we are sure!
In Cortona or Camucia you will find shops, supermarkets, typical restaurants and every kind of service you need.
Podere Marcigliano consists of 2 newly built villas, which nevertheless reflect the architectural characteristics of the farmhouses of the past. In the first building there are 3 apartments (Torreone, Tufa and the first floor owner’s apartment), in the second there are 2 units (Corito and Rugapiana).
Each apartment has a large green area, a beautiful swimming pool (size 7x14 m, depth 1.50 m - open from 17 May to 30 September and fully fenced), a barbecue, a laundry room in common use and children's games, and its own private area equipped with a furnished gazebo for your meals in the open air.
You will find yourself living your stay in contact with nature but still close to the major centres of Tuscany and Umbria. Its convenient location, quiet but not isolated, makes Podere Marcigliano the ideal place to spend a relaxing holiday while not being far from the major communication routes that will allow you to easily visit, even on day trips, cities of art and small charming villages, little known jewels of the Central Italian countryside.
Podere Marcigliano is also the ideal structure for off-season stays, during the winter and Christmas period, when the town of Cortona is transformed with the thousands of lights of the characteristic Christmas markets and Santa' House. Podere Marcigliano

Description
In 1996 we moved to the Crete Senesi and we fell in love with this farmhouse Etruscan origins, medieval mill, peace and tranquillity. That’s why we decided to share it with our guests and their four-legged friends.
The farm keeps the whole family busy: Alessandro (biologist, nature guide and Sommelier), Elisa who looks after the administration, Mauro and Paola, retired but full time busy on the farm. And we hope that in the future even Emma and Guido will give us a helping hand.
We produce vegetables and fruit, olive oil and truffles from organic agriculture.
For our guests we organize a rich programme of initiatives discovering the colours and flavours of the Crete, wine tasting in our cosy winery and excursions by bike guided by Alessandro who is fond of cycling.
Distances:
Serre di Rapolano at 2 km, Rapolano Terme with all kind of shops at 5 km, Siena at 25 km.
Only 4 km from our farm there are the thermal baths of Rapolano which grant special discounts to our guests.
