IDYLLIC GUESTHOUSE IN MEDIAEVAL TUSCANY PERFECT ALSO IN FALL AND WINTER

On the hills of Anghiari, the Tuscan village chosen by CNN as one of the 22 most beautiful places in Europe, you can enjoy all year round the quiet intimacy of a fully restored, cosy house in the middle of a 2-hectare plateau of green fields at the top of a 430-metre hill, surrounded by 8 hectares of chestnut and oak woods.

During the summer a large lap pool (20m x 3.5m x 1.40m) offers both exercise and refreshing relaxation. It is located in the middle of the large garden and lawn, in a place that is sunny all day but also shaded by a pergola with white roses.

The rustic, two-storey Tuscan house has been recently restored and has kept its warm atmosphere, where the old and the new blend harmoniously.

Unlike most Tuscan farmhouses, this house is very flooded with light thanks to its large windows and lattice walls made of old terracotta bricks.

Thanks to its stone walls, the house is extremely cool even in the summer months (it's not unusual to sleep with a blanket even in August).

In autumn and winter, the house is pleasantly warm thanks to underfloor heating and a cosy wood-burning fireplace.

The property is surrounded by 2 hectares of fields and 8 hectares of chestnut and oak forest. So the air is super clean, the silence is only interrupted by the natural sounds of nature and everything that is important for relaxation, concentration, meditation or simply a restful night's sleep.

On the ground floor there is
- a bedroom with a queen-size bed (140 x 200 cm)
- a bathroom with a shower
- a fully equipped modern kitchen
- a living and dining room with a fireplace
- an outdoor area with a woven pergola surrounded by a lawn, equipped with table, chairs, barbecue and armchairs

On the first floor there is a suite
- with a king size bed (180 x 200 cm)
- a reading corner with an armchair and a lamp
- a workdesk with chair
- a bathroom with shower
- a small balcony

Finally, our property is almost C02-neutral (rank A+) thanks to a solar system based on the best available technology, a heating pump, a biomass Austrian heating system and a first-class thermal insulation.

The guest house can accommodate a maximum of 4 people in 2 bedrooms. However, if you would like to host more friends and/or relatives, additional bedrooms are available in the adjacent farmhouse. The additional 4 double bedrooms in the farmhouse are only available to guests who rent the guesthouse. Pictures of these additional rooms are available on request.

The nearest town is Anghiari (4.5 km), a mediaeval village in the upper Tiber Valley of Tuscany, named by CNN as one of the 22 most beautiful places in Europe and voted one of the "most beautiful small towns in Italy" by the Italian Touring Club and the "I Borghi più Belli di Italia Club" (Italy's most beautiful villages club).

Few people know that Upper Valtiberina is where the Renaissance began. Here, in Sansepolcro - 8 km from the house - Piero della Francesca was born and here you can admire his early Renaissance paintings that anticipated the works of Michelangelo and Leonardo DaVinci.

Nearby you can discover the place where Saint Francis spent most of his life, Chiusi La Verna, as well as many other monasteries and churches that are off the beaten track of mass tourism, but still extremely relevant and charming and perfect for a short trip.

Day trips will take you to other nearby fascinating and famous Tuscan cities such as Arezzo (30'), Cortona (40'), Montepulciano (60'), Siena (90'), Florence (90'). Or destinations in Umbria and the Marche like Assisi (50'), Gubbio (70'), Perugia (60'), Urbino (90'), Todi (100'), Orvieto (120').
