Poggio San Polo Vacation Villa Rentals
Description
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. The pool area is equipped with comfortable sunbeds for sunbathing and is complemented by a romantic gazebo covered in climbing ivy, furnished with sofas and armchairs for those who prefer the shade. A hot and cold-water shower and chlorine purification system complete the pool facilities.
Throughout the park, several carefully arranged relaxation and dining areas invite you to make the most of the outdoor setting. A pretty wooden gazebo furnished with a dining table sits at the exit of the annex, directly in front of the pool. A convenient dining area covered by a large umbrella is positioned near the dining room of the main villa, while a discreet portico at the entrance to the living room overlooks a scenic fountain built with river stones, ideal for reading or simply unwinding. A cool, shady woodland area is also accessible via the paved pathways that connect all parts of the estate.
Unit Layout
Villa Ninfeo accommodates up to 14 guests across 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, distributed between the main villa and the annex, each with its own distinct character and direct external access.
The main villa is arranged over 2 floors. The main entrance is located on the side adjacent to the driveway, reached via 3 external steps that lead into the vast open living area occupying the entire ground floor. Here, all rooms flow naturally into one another, beginning with the sitting and TV room, furnished with pure white divans arranged around an antique fireplace and a large television, which extends along a wide external portico. From there, a further small sitting room with a second fireplace connects to the dining room, which also faces the garden and its seating area. Also on the ground floor are the kitchen, accessed directly from the dining room, a laundry room, and a guest bathroom. A wooden staircase leads to the upper floor, where the master bedroom is located, complete with a dedicated sleeping area, a closet area, a bathroom with shower, and direct access to a panoramic terrace. Also on this floor are 2 double bedrooms, each with a queen-size bed, which share a bathroom equipped with a hydromassage tub. One of these bedrooms opens directly onto the garden through a French window, while the other is accessed through a study that includes a double sofa bed.
A few metres uphill along a paved path, the annex offers a striking contrast with its huge open-plan living room beneath a high gable roof, combining a lounge area with an additional large television and a dining area centred around an elegant black table with chairs. Thanks to the home automation system, the large windows that line the room lower automatically at the touch of a button, seamlessly connecting the interior with the gazebo and the adjacent pool area. A super-functional modern kitchen in polished aluminium, equipped with 2 ovens, completes the main level. On the lower floor, accessible only from the outside, there are 3 double bedrooms, one of which serves as a walkthrough room providing access to the other 2. This floor is completed by 2 bathrooms with shower.

Description
Usciano is an ancient village of medieval origin, located a few kilometres from the city of Arezzo. It is located on a panoramic position, perched on a high hill, surrounded by olive groves and green woods of oak and holm-oak. The stone farmhouse and its two small houses date back to 1851, when the small village was inhabited by woodcutters, farmers and chestnut growers, the atmosphere alone will immediately take you back to those times.
The hamlet has been restored preserving its original features and using ancient materials such as terracotta, stone and old wooden beams. Even the furniture, functional and comfortable, has been chosen in respect of rural traditions.
Borgo di Usciano can be reached by an unpaved road through the woods of about 1.5 km, which is well maintained and suitable for all types of cars.
Only 2.5 km away is the village of Palazzo del Pero where you will find a couple of restaurants and some shops.
Only 9 km away is the city of Arezzo and its monuments, shops for shopping enthusiasts, supermarkets, restaurants and all kinds of services. But we also recommend that you spend wonderful days discovering the old town centre, its narrow streets and the works of art by Piero della Francesca, Cimabue and Vasari, scattered throughout the city.
The outdoor area of Borgo di Usciano is divided into various panoramic terraces, and you'll be spoilt for choice whether to relax in the solarium by the beautiful infinity pool (size 7x14 m, depth 1-1.60 m - open from 01st May to 30th September), in the shade of a cool tree in the lower part of the garden, or climb the hill with a 360° panorama and a good book to keep you company.
Adjacent to the kitchen is the paved area with a stone barbecue and wood-burning oven, and equipped with tables and chairs, where you can enjoy pizza and barbecue with your family or friends. To make your holiday even richer and more enjoyable, you can request tastings of typical Tuscan products, massages with experts in the field and guided mountain bike tours of the area. Edoardo, the owner, will be happy to help you.
Pets are welcome (extra charge could be required). Borgo di Usciano

La Rimessa
Description
If you decide to spend your holiday at Villa Leopoldina, you can stay in a historic building, a splendid example of a typical Tuscan house designed in the 18th century by the architects of Grand Duke Leopold of Lorraine, with the characteristic four overlapping arches on the façade. It will be a plunge into the past, when families were very numerous and these huge homes housed several generations under the same roof.
In front of the villa you will find the private garden and on the right-hand side the beautiful swimming pool (size 12x5 m, depth 1.40 m, completely enclosed - open from 01st May to 30th September). From here, every day, you can enjoy a splendid panoramic view over the city of Arezzo and its valleys, a view that becomes even more suggestive at night with the thousands of tiny lights that seem to chase each other. You will reach the centre of Arezzo in less than 10 minutes by car and here you will find all the necessary amenities and services, as well as museums, magnificent churches, cathedrals and monuments to visit.
One of the villa's bonuses is certainly its location. It is located within the Pomaio winery, a renowned winery that produces its excellent wines following the rules of eco-sustainability. Pomaio is listed as one of the 13 most beautiful Design Cellars in the Region of Tuscany for the Toscana Wine Architecture project, and this Green philosophy was also followed for the renovation of the villa. In fact, thanks to the materials used, the villa has a high energy-saving rating, with positive effects both for the environment and for those who stay there in all seasons.
Therefore, in addition to living in the midst of an almost enchanted place, amidst splendid rows of vines that slope down towards the silhouette of the city, you will be able to taste the excellent wines in the wine cellar when you feel like taking a little walk and reaching it.
Villa Leopoldina is on two levels connected by a covered outdoor staircase. You will have two fully equipped kitchens, a washing machine and a dryer on each floor, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and satellite TV. Villa Leopoldina is your perfect location for a holiday with all the comforts on an authentic 100-year-old residence.
On arrival day you will have the opportunity to enjoy a dinner offered by the owners (for stays of a minimum of 7 nights) and a welcome basket for breakfast the following day. Thanks to a wooden bridge at the back of the villa, the first floor is also accessible to persons with reduced mobility. Villa Leopoldina
