Toscana - Arezzo - AREZZO

Description:

RECEPTIVE STRUCTURE (CIR CODE: 051002AAT0016). Villalta is a splendid historic residence that reflects all the charm of 17th century noble villas. It is situated in an enchanting position on the outskirts of the city of Arezzo, with a marvelous view of the countryside, the Casentino and the lines of the cathedral of Arezzo and is surrounded by woods and beautiful geometric lines of vines and olive trees. Large and elegant halls embellished with antique elements, spacious and cosy bedrooms, a brightly-lit veranda connected to the well-equipped kitchen and a beautiful garden with private pool make this property the perfect destination for a family reunion or for large groups of friends looking for a relaxing holiday in a tranquil setting, yet close to the most beautiful and prestigious Tuscan attractions. We are just 900 mt from the "Mura Medicee" and 2.5 km from the historic centre of Arezzo, the birthplace of numerous artists and which, today, contains world-famous architectural and artistic masterpieces; furthermore, as the property is just a short distance from the motorway and railway station, you can take many trips to explore the fabulous surroundings, rich in beautiful natural landscapes in which can be found many old borghi of everlasting charm and the famous art cities of Tuscany and neighbouring Umbria (Siena, Florence, Chianti, Cortona, Sansepolcro, Perugia and many others). Villalta is part of the farm estate of San Fabiano, about 200 m from the residence, one of the most prestigious and largest in the area that cultivates olives and grapes, producing an exceptional extra virgin olive oil and a prestigious nectar that you can taste and buy directly in the cellars on site. In one wing of the villa, with completely independent access, live the caretakers who will not interfere with the use of the park and pool which are at the complete disposal of the guests. Please Note: when the property is rented in this solution no other guests will be present on site.

Villalta has three floors. On the ground floor is the living area: the main entrance leads, on the left, to a living room with dining table while, on the right, is the sitting room with fireplace, communicating with the TV room and a reading room. From here you go out to a bright, spacious veranda, with dining table and sofas, that communicates with the kitchen. The ground floor is completed by a bathroom with shower. A stone staircase at the entrance leads up to the first floor with the billiard room around which the bedrooms on this floor are arranged: a double bedroom and a twin bedroom (with joinable beds), both with en-suite bathroom with tub, another double bedroom served by a bathroom with tub. On the second floor are two twin bedrooms, each with two queensize beds and en-suite bathroom with tub, a double bedroom with en-suite bathroom with tub and, finally, a double bedroom (with queensize bed) served by a bathroom with tub. The laundry room is located in an outside room with independent access at the side of the villa.

Park:

Around 5000 sq m of park surround Villalta, characterised by lawn and bordered on the sides by the vineyards and olive grove of the property that stretch to the hilly horizon. In the beautiful, well-kept garden brightened by flowers, centuries-old cypresses and fragrant herbs, are various areas for sitting and relaxing. The large courtyard in front of the main entrance, under the shade of two large awnings, has been set up with a dining area with tables and chairs while, near the pool area, is a pergola, ideal for relaxing or eating outdoors with a barbecue and wood oven. In the area in front of the pool is a ping pong table. The property has two parking areas, located conveniently near the main entrances to the villa. Please notice that photos are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the gardens' grass could be different at the moment of your arrival at the villa.

Swimming Pool:

In the most secluded and panoramic area of the property, on a lower terraced level with respect to the house which is 20 m away, is the completely fenced-in pool; it is reached from the back of the house down a short flight of steps.
