Villa Caccianello
Description
There is something special about this beautiful property situated in the wooded hills separating the Chiana and Arno valleys, which, because of its location, also enjoys easy access to the cities of Arezzo, Florence and Siena.
Perhaps it is the well-kept, panoramic garden shaded by tall pines and completely fenced, the lovely private swimming pool (size 6 x 9 m - depth 1.20 m - open from 01st May to 30th September) or perhaps the Jacuzzi (6 seats - extra charge) set among the olive trees...? Or, could it be the very idea of the country villa, its secluded but not isolated location, and the warm atmosphere created inside with pastel colours and rustic style furniture.
Whatever you think it is, you will love this beautiful villa and it will be the ideal place for a family holiday or even with your group of friends. Even your small size four-legged friends are welcome here. There is an outdoor area with games for children, a comfortable porch very well equipped with table, chairs and barbecue for dinners and barbecues with friends.

Description
A short distance from the city of Arezzo, an ideal starting point for visiting Tuscany, we find Villa Quattro Mori, a charming villa that once belonged to an ancient and noble family of Counts of Arezzo. It has in fact maintained its charm, in the furnishings of the elegant bedrooms, the lounge, the swimming pool adorned with marble and statues, and the large park shaded by centuries-old pines.
Just 500 m away, in the small village of Tregozzano, which is easily reached on foot, there is a bar, a pharmacy and some small food shops.
Just outside the village you will also find a typical trattoria.
You can easily reach Arezzo, a beautiful city of art that houses, among others, Piero della Francesca's masterpieces such as the Legend of the True Cross, by public transport, or in 5 minutes by car along the provincial road that passes near the villa. Here, if you love shopping, the old main street, today “Corso Italia”, offers elegant and exclusive shops. There are also supermarkets, restaurants and services of all kinds. We recommend you spend an evening in the small alleys of the historic centre, sitting on the stone steps of an ancient basilica, with a glass of wine in your hand.
The highlights of the villa, in our opinion, are certainly the splendid swimming pool with Roman staircase (size m 16x6, depth m. 1.40-2.00 - open from 27 June to 5 September) decorated with precious marble and with changing room and bathroom with shower, the characteristic pergola covered with wisteria and roses with marble fountain and wooden benches where you can spend dreamy days in the company of your book.
But above all, the large glass veranda overlooking the swimming pool, with its billiard table, table football, comfortable sofas, dining table, fridge and bathroom with shower, will be the perfect place for your days with friends, your dinners and your most beautiful family moments.
Your small size four-legged friends are also welcome. Villa Quattro Mori

Villa Cecilia is an old farmhouse dating back to before 1800. You will find it perched on a hill in the heart of the Valdichiana, about 4 km from Castiglion Fiorentino, a characteristic village where you will find shops, restaurants, supermarkets and all necessities.
The farmhouse has been recently and carefully restored under the careful guidance of the owners, who strongly wished to maintain its ancient origins and characteristics. The original terracotta tiled floors, the high ceilings with wooden beams, all coordinated with quality furnishings, with fine antiques, are a perfect match for the characteristics of the villa. You will feel a sense of warmth at the villa, you will feel welcomed and pampered, perfectly in harmony with your surroundings.
The history of the farmhouse is also fascinating. In ancient times, the Valdichiana was a swamp and before the land reclamation took place, its waters lapped the land of the property and just a few steps from the house there was a small harbour for boats that connected by water to the surrounding villages.
Today the villa is part of a farm that includes vineyards, cereal crops, farmyard animals and beautiful horses. About 1 km away, at the owners' residence, you will be able to enjoy the organic produce from their vegetable garden free of charge. Their paddocks, should you travel with your horses, will be at your disposal (service available for a fee).
Around the villa, you will enjoy a large, completely fenced green space perfect for your morning or evening walks even with your four-legged friends. Inside the park there is also a woodland path (approx. 500 m) where you can relax, walk and organise cool snacks.
For your days at home, there is a beautiful infinity swimming pool (size 6x12 m, depth 1.35 m - open from 01 May to 30 September), with a Roman staircase, a beautiful porch well equipped with outdoor furniture, where you can enjoy a book or an aperitif in company, the barbecue for your cookouts and also games for your children.

Description
Olivo is a characteristic and very old farmhouse that you will find almost hidden among the silver foliage of the olive trees that cover the hillside, giving the villa an atmosphere and peace of times gone by. You will find it nestled between the cities of Arezzo and Castiglion Fiorentino, and its location will offer you countless possibilities for visiting museums, monuments or simply for shopping in the centre of Arezzo.
In Arezzo, to which we advise you to dedicate at least one day, you will find a marvellous historic centre, made up of cobbled alleyways and ancient buildings, some of which date back to the Medieval period, as well as designer shops and typical restaurants and cafés, where you can spend an afternoon or a lazy summer evening. Just 4 km away is also the Arezzo Equestrian Centre where internationally renowned equestrian events are held throughout the year.
The beautiful panoramic swimming pool (size 5x10 m, depth 0.90-1.80 m - open from 10 May to 30th September) was built on a large green terrace, just a few metres from the house. In the completely enclosed garden, your children can play freely in absolute tranquillity in the shade of the olive trees and century-old trees, while you, by the side of the pool, can enjoy the sun while admiring the fantastic panorama of the valley below. For the little ones' playtime there is also a playhouse in a tree.
At the back of the house you will have at your disposal, for dinners or lunches in the open air, a comfortable equipped area, wood-burning oven and barbecue, where you can enjoy your meals in company.
Olivo is a rustic-style farmhouse, reminiscent of the old peasant houses, whose warmth provided shelter for the large families of our ancestors. The strong point of the house in our opinion is the fact that here you will feel as if transported to a past made up of ancient traditions, rituals and moments spent with the family, in a warm, welcoming atmosphere that will accompany you throughout your holiday, making you feel at home.

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.

A hot and cold-water shower and chlorine purification system complete the pool facilities.

Outdoors
The park surrounding Il Vignale is a true sanctuary of natural beauty and outdoor living. Meticulously maintained and completely fenced, it is bordered by screens of geometric hedges and enriched with a remarkable variety of shady trees, shrubs, rose bushes, potted plants, and oleanders, all extending across multiple terraced levels down the hillside. Directly in front of the living room French windows, a large panoramic gazebo serves as a central outdoor gathering point, furnished with a hammock and equipped with tables and chairs for alfresco dining. From the gazebo, a flight of steps leads down to the pool area and further to a dedicated fitness area complete with gym equipment, including an exercise bike, stepper, weight bench, multifunction bench, and wall bars. A short distance from the gazebo, the back garden features a brick structure housing a wood oven and barbecue, alongside a loggia with a ping pong table. A few steps up from here, guests will find the private enclosed tennis court coated in PVC resin and of regulation size, adjacent to an elegant veranda with opening glass walls and an outdoor hydromassage tub with chromotherapy, accommodating up to six people at a maximum temperature of 35 degrees Celsius. Two bathrooms and two showers are available for use in connection with the tennis court, and tennis racquets and balls are made available to guests. The park is completed by a 70 square metre panoramic attic used as a solarium, offering sweeping views across the surrounding landscape. Please note that the photographs of the property were taken in spring, meaning that the blossoming of flowers and the colour of the garden grass may differ at the time of arrival.

It is lined with tiles, illuminated at night, and equipped with 2 metal ladders for water access as well as a diving board. A cold-water shower is also available poolside. The pool uses a chlorine purification system and is open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October. The generous sunbathing area surrounding the pool is partly paved in stone and partly laid to lawn, and is furnished with sunbeds, deckchairs, umbrellas, tables, and chairs.
