Charming Luxury Villa in Tuscany

Exterior

This charming and luxurious villa is built on the site of an Old Roman fort located near the Tuscan border with Umbria, near the villages of Anghiari, the prettiest hilltop walled town in Italy, and Sansepolcro where Piero della Francesca was born and painted, is 10 minutes away and the museum has many of his frescos, a "must" to be seen. It is also the perfect place to embark on excursions to the many medieval and renaissance towns nearby.

There are many activities in the area apart from site seeing, such as tennis, riding and glorious walks through the oaks and chestnut wooden hills. In the summer there are many outdoor festivals, concerts, jousting and archery competitions, often in renaissance costume. There are many fine and excellent restaurants within minutes of the villa. You could also do a wine tour and tasting or take some cooking classes. If you have an adventurous streak, there are hundreds of kilometers of trails in the area, some across mountains, others through the forest.

On site there is a lawn for archery, badminton, volleyball, and in the villa are books for all ages, puzzles, toys and games, ping pong, table football, a baby grand piano and a guitar. On the upper terrace there is a pergola with table and chairs for 10 overlooking the pool (12x6m) with a view up the valley to the mountains. The lower terrace also has a dining table for 10 with barbeque, under an old oak tree looking down over the lake to the mountains beyond.
