Villa Bilor Luxe
Description
You will find La Casina del Bosco in an extremely panoramic position, nestled among silver olive trees in the beautiful, green Alpe di Catenaia. The little house is located not far from the mountain pass that joins the two valleys of Casentino and Valtiberina and will allow you easy day trips in both valleys, in search of monasteries and castles and small, ancient villages carved in stone and unknown to most people. The splendid view that you will see every morning from your windows overlooks the surrounding luxuriant woods, thickets of ancient chestnut and oak trees, where wildlife still reigns supreme. All this makes the place extremely peaceful and almost enchanted.
The house is reached by a small unpaved road (approx. 2 km), which we do not recommend taking with sports cars. About 8 km away is Subbiano, an industrious village with supermarkets, restaurants and shops of all kinds, whose origins can be traced back to Roman times. In the small village of Falciano, just 3 km away, there is a typical Tuscan restaurant where you can enjoy pasta, meat and traditional dishes that we are sure you will not easily forget.
18 km away is the ancient city of Arezzo, to which we recommend you dedicate at least one day, strolling through its paved alleys and beautiful squares.
The little house that you will rent is the result of a recent restoration, built with ancient local stone but above all a depository of very distant origins, it was in fact once used by shepherds who stopped there during the transhumance.
For your days of complete relaxation, there is a panoramic swimming pool surrounded by olive trees ( size m. 6 x 2.70, depth m. 1.30 - open from 01st May to 30th September), a hydro-massage tub (5 seats, size m. 2.20 x 2.20 - available with extra charge), a pergola furnished with table and chairs to enjoy your meals in the open air, a barbecue and a fully equipped garden. The outdoor area (approx. 1200 sqm) is fully fenced and your small four-legged friends are very welcome. You will find the house decorated with antique furniture that perfectly matches its features, giving it a cosy and warm atmosphere.
At the Casina del Bosco you will experience your ideal holiday with your partner, in absolute relaxation, in a romantic and magical place. La Casina del Bosco

Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of La Martinella are as captivating as its interior, inviting guests to immerse themselves in the natural splendour of the Umbrian landscape. The fenced garden of 1,000 square metres that surrounds the house is a sanctuary of peace, where the canopy of tall lime trees and ancient oaks shelters small stone benches perfectly positioned for quiet contemplation of the rolling hills and lake views. Lavender bushes, rose gardens, lemon trees, and colourful seasonal flowers brighten every corner, while winding paths lead through the wider estate, offering opportunities to explore the woodland, vineyards, and olive groves in search of an intimate connection with nature. Please note that the property photographs were taken in spring, and therefore the flowering and the colours of the garden grass may differ at the time of your arrival.
The non-heated swimming pool occupies a splendid panoramic position overlooking Lake Trasimeno and is situated at a lower level relative to the main house, remaining visible from several of the bedrooms. Rectangular in shape with a graceful semicircular end featuring Roman steps for entry, the pool measures 5 by 10 metres with a constant depth of 1.50 metres. It is lined in white PVC, equipped with internal lighting and a salt purification system, and can be covered during the night. The pool is available from the last Saturday of April to the first Saturday of October. Surrounding the pool, a spacious solarium area, largely laid to grass, provides the ideal setting for sunbathing and relaxation, complete with sunbeds, deckchairs, a gazebo, and an umbrella. A portico with a wood stove, a large table and chairs, a hot and cold water shower, and a small stone building housing a kitchenette, bathroom, and changing room complete this exceptional outdoor leisure area. The panoramic terrace, illuminated by beautiful lanterns, and the large portico with wood stove adjacent to the main house offer further options for alfresco dining and summer gatherings in an unforgettable setting.

Property Summary
Nestled in the rolling hills of Terranuova Bracciolini, in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, Buca delle Fate is a captivating country farmhouse that traces its origins to the early twentieth century, when it served as part of an ancient local farm. Thoughtfully renovated in keeping with the dictates of local tradition, the property showcases rustic interiors in a classic Tuscan style, offering guests an atmosphere of genuine authenticity and timeless charm. This exceptional vacation rental is ideally suited to those seeking a holiday inspired by slow, peaceful rhythms, immersed in nature and the spirit of the Valdarno countryside. The farmhouse is enveloped by a beautifully maintained yard of approximately 8,000 square meters, largely dedicated to the cultivation of olive trees that produce an excellent extra virgin olive oil, and enclosed by a fully fenced garden adorned with Mediterranean aromatic borders, rose bushes, oleanders, fruit trees, and scattered olive trees. A stunning non-heated swimming pool sits at the center of the garden, offering a refreshing retreat during the warmer months. Guests benefit from Wi-Fi internet connectivity throughout the property, ensuring a comfortable and connected stay.

The non-heated swimming pool is open from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October and is positioned at the center of the garden, at a slightly elevated level relative to the farmhouse, accessible via a flight of 5 steps.

Distances and Attractions
Buca delle Fate enjoys a privileged position in the Valdarno area of Tuscany, situated between the Pratomagno ridge and the nearby Chianti region, and positioned approximately halfway between Florence and Arezzo. 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.
