Description
Property Summary
Nestled in the serene Marche countryside of Italy, Villa Il Baiocco is a splendid country house offering an exceptional vacation rental experience just 8 km from the UNESCO World Heritage city of Urbino. This beautifully restored farmhouse, dating back to the early 1900s, has been thoughtfully renovated with a deep respect for its historical character and the natural landscape that surrounds it. Handcrafted terracotta floors alternate with expertly salvaged original terracotta bricks, exposed wooden ceiling beams contrast with vaulted brick ceilings, and local stone walls frame interiors dressed in warm-toned furnishings and tapestries, creating an atmosphere of refined simplicity and timeless elegance. The property sits within a park of approximately one hectare, offering generous outdoor space and complete privacy. Guests benefit from complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the property, a dedicated parking area conveniently located in front of the main entrance, and a spacious yard that blends cultivated gardens with natural meadow, orchards, and native Mediterranean vegetation.
Outdoors
The grounds of Villa Il Baiocco are a remarkable extension of the property's character, extending across roughly one hectare of semi-hilly countryside dotted with oaks, cypresses, walnuts, olive trees, and fruit trees set amid mixed meadow. From the entrance gate, an unpaved driveway in good condition, flanked by a row of cypresses, descends gently toward the house and leads to the parking area in front of the main entrance, where a beautiful brick-built wood oven adds a distinctive rustic touch. The area immediately surrounding the house and swimming pool is partly paved with elegant marble pebbles and partly laid to lawn, while native shrubs, rose beds, oleanders, geraniums, winter jasmines, mulberry and strawberry trees, and aromatic herbs including lavender, thyme, rosemary, and sage create a richly layered and fragrant garden setting. In the sloping section of the property, a large orchard features olive trees alongside a variety of fruit trees including cherries, plums, pears, apples, nashi pears, persimmons, figs, sour cherries, and kiwis. The splendid panoramic portico, directly accessible from the kitchen via a French window, is the ideal spot for outdoor dining or relaxing in the shade, with the swimming pool just 5 metres away. A small pergola near the pool provides additional shade, while a private storage room nearby houses the technical compartment and tools pertaining to the property.

Property Summary
Nestled along a quiet residential avenue just 800 m from the lively village of Castiglion Fibocchi, in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, Ca Maggiore is an exceptional vacation rental born from the careful renovation and enhancement of an authentic 17th-century Leopoldina villa. The property has preserved its original architectural character, including the distinctive squared dovecote tower and the portico surmounted by a traditional loggia on the first floor. Throughout its beautifully spacious interiors, classical structural elements recovered from the ancient building coexist harmoniously with elegant and functional furnishings, handcrafted accessories, and a splendid, fully equipped modern kitchen. The villa and its annex are set within a fully fenced park of ten thousand square meters, offering guests a serene and private retreat with wonderful views over the surrounding hilly landscapes and vineyards.

In the immediate vicinity of the two residential units and directly in front of the pool area, a paved and shaded surface provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining. The non-heated swimming pool is a true highlight of the property, framed by scenic olive trees and vines and enjoying an open view over the hilly landscape. Reached by climbing five steps and crossing the surrounding lawn, the pool has a rectangular shape measuring 4.5 x 11 m, with a depth that gradually increases from 1.20 m to 1.80 m. The tank is PVC-lined, sanitized with chlorine, and equipped with internal lights, as well as steps running along one of the two short sides.

A basement accessible via a flight of stairs houses a bathroom with shower and a changing room for the convenience of pool users.

Description
Antico Mulino is part of a stone Tuscan farmhouse of very ancient origins. For generations the Lepri family has handed down the mill from father to son, and since the early 1900's it has been a very important reference point for the local farming community. On the ground floor of the villa you can still fill your eyes admiring the ancient stone millstones which produced the flour used to prepare the famous Tuscan bread. A true piece of Tuscan history!
The two double bedrooms and three bathrooms make this villa particularly suitable for families with children and couples of friends. Your small size four-legged friends are also welcome (extra charge could be required).
The villa is located on the edge of a green valley, in a position easily accessible but at the same time quiet and peaceful. Arezzo, with its fancy shops and every kind of service, is only 12 km away and can be reached in about 15 minutes by car.
The villa has a private swimming pool (size 10x4 m., depth 1,40 m. - open from 01st May to 30th September), fenced and totally safe for children.
It will be very pleasant to spend the cool summer evenings in the equipped gazebo in the garden, next to the kitchen on the ground floor. Family dinners, in front of a glass of good local red wine, barbecues and aperitifs in full relaxation.

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.

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.

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.

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 26 June to 4 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.

Thanks to the functionality of home automation, you just press a button and the large windows which line it lower automatically, putting the building in contact with the gazebo and adjacent pool area. The structure is completed by a super-functional modern kitchen in polished aluminium with two ovens. On the lower floor, reachable just from the outside, there are three double bedrooms, one of which is a walkthrough room to access the other two bedrooms. Two bathrooms with shower complete the floor. Air conditioning only in the bedrooms.
Park:
The one-hectare park is simply idyllic: completely fenced-in and accessible, it extends over several terraces around a hilltop, marked along its perimeter by an oak wood and by spectacular expanses of cultivated land on the top of which stand the villa and the annex. It contains a remarkable amount of trees and a sparkling symphony of blossoms planted by expert hands which, over time, have been enriched by an extraordinary collection of more than twenty thousand ornamental plants from around the world growing around large areas of lawn. Inside, along a pathway immersed in peace and quiet, you will come upon a veritable paradise set up for relaxation and partying, with a pretty wooden gazebo furnished with a dining table at the exit of the annex and in front of the pool, a convenient dining area near the dining room of the villa covered by a large umbrella and, again, a discreet portico at the entrance to the living room, placed near a scenic fountain built with river stones and ideal for reading or just relaxing. The park is completed by a cool shady area of woodland, accessible thanks to the paved pathways which connect all the areas around the villa. The parking areas (available for four cars) are located at the entrance of the two gates that lead into the property and there is also a one-car garage.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:
Open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday of October, the oval-shaped pool with one straight side is sited between the villa (reached via a short flight of steps or along the path that goes around the garden) and the annex, about 10 m away. The pool, embellished on two sides by vases of water lilies, is completely lined with dry-mounted Tuscan stone with the bottom in grey-blue cement, characteristics that give a great natural effect inside the green frame that borders it, paved in sandstone: the most panoramic spot where you can laze in the sun on the comfortable sunbeds around the pool, or enjoy the cool shade of a romantic gazebo covered in climbing ivy, equipped with sofas and armchairs. The pool measures 7 x 14 m, with the depth varying from 90 cm to 2.50 m; you enter the water via submerged steps and there is also a diving board.
