Large rural villa near Arezzo

Exterior

This charming villa is the result of an excellent conversion of the old stone mill which originally stood here and whose many original architectural features still remain well preserved.

It is nestled in the Casentino valley at the bottom of the Pratomagno mountain range to the north west of Arezzo in Tuscany.

The gardens are particularly pretty with two swimming pools amongst fir and chestnut trees filled with fresh mountain water diverted from a nearby stream. They are perfectly positioned to give panoramic views across the landscape. The pools are surrounded by a deck with sun loungers to allow guests to make the most of this tranquil setting.  One side opens on to the forest that extends out on one side of the villa. Guests can even take advantage of the luxurious Jacuzzi located at the rear of the property, which is suitable for 6.

Many peaceful seating spots are tucked into corners ideal for those who want to catch a quiet moment to themselves with just a book and nature for company. Furthermore, the fabulous outdoor terrace with its large dining table, barbecue and wood fire is especially suited to al fresco meals enjoyed altogether. For sports lovers Villa Capraia boasts also a volley-football pitch.

Interior

Villa Capraia can accommodate up to 14 guests in total with four double bedrooms, a bedroom with three single beds and a final bedroom with a set of bunk beds. There are also four bathrooms.

The villa opens onto the living room which was originally the main part of the mill and in fact the mill wheel is still here lending a lovely rustic feel. Along with this there are large sofas and a satellite television.

The large eat-in kitchen is a lovely room which features the original tiled flooring and is fully-equipped with all you could need for self-catering. The kitchen conveniently leads directly onto the outdoor terrace and garden and a staircase takes you upstairs to the second living room on the first floor.


The perfect holiday rental for a large group looking for a rural villa with beautiful surroundings but conveniently located to explore Tuscany.
