Valdarno

Above Arezzo, at the end of a cypress-lined drive through the olive groves, Villa Anastasio looks out over the city's medieval skyline and the hills beyond. The villa was created by joining two buildings that once formed the limonaia, or lemon house, of a nearby aristocratic estate. Today it is a fully restored home on a private, fully fenced estate of 2.8 hectares. Lemon trees still stand in terracotta pots on the front terraces. Inside, the house combines its historic Tuscan character with high-end finishes and modern smart-home technology.

The ground floor has three generous rooms in a row, all opening through tall metal-and-glass French windows onto the terrace and the view: a reception lounge and library with a decorated stone fireplace and panoramic wallpaper, a formal dining room and a well-equipped Gaggenau kitchen with built-in appliances, a Quooker tap, with an XL South African braai grill. Behind the kitchen are a laundry, a pantry and a private office.

A spiral staircase leads from the office to a guest bedroom with its own bathroom. A second staircase, from the wellness area with its Sunlighten sauna and bathroom, leads to another guest suite. These separate wings give guests and family complete privacy.

A third staircase from the reception lounge leads to the main sleeping area. It has a master suite with an en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe, and two further bedrooms that share a bathroom.

Throughout the house one will find terracotta and parquet floors, hand-chosen decorative wallpapers and large windows framing the Tuscan landscape. Lighting, heating, security and kitchen appliances are all controllable remotely via Wi-Fi.

Located in a small hamlet on the hills of Chianti, in the Tuscan countryside, 12th century medieval castle with luxury accommodation business, apartments, gym, pool, park and olive grove.

The castle (800 m²) is located in the center of the medieval hamlet, and constitutes one of the four sides of the main square. On the inside (and a small annex 50 m away) we can find nine luxury mini-apartments with just as many double (or twin) bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms.

The property is then completed by three independent apartments (for a grand total of 150 m²) located in the surrounding hamlet, a gym with dressing room (70 m²), a car garage (20 m²) and some storage rooms.

The building boasts an Italian garden on the left side, accessed both through the castle and via a metal gate from the road.

A short distance from the castle, descending towards the base of the hill on the other side of the hamlet, split on various terraces, we can find the beautiful 3,400-m² park with the 14 × 6 m panoramic pool. Last but not least, the property is fitted with a 8,000-m² 160-tree olive grove in perfect conditions.

Villa Bellatorre is a restored and fully furnished 5/6-bedroom villa with olive groves just 30 minutes to Arezzo and 45 to Florence and Chianti. Built in the Castello Art Nouveau style, the villa offers unique features like its panoramic open-air bathroom in the tower and a stunning open-plan living space which runs along the entire length of the facade. The numerous terraces and balconies provide sweeping south facing views over the gentle valley and the hills of Chianti beyond, with its pool enjoying exposition to Tuscany’s famous golden sunsets.

This prestigious property is ideal as a luxury private residence or as a charming accommodation. 

The property is sold turnkey with all furnishings included. The sellers are willing to make minor aesthetic alterations to the property ahead of the sale in accordance with wishes of the buyer.

EXTERIOR

Externally, a bike shed is accessed via the parking bay. So too are three large glass arches leading to the old lemon house, which can be converted into garage space if desired – with sufficient space for about three cars. In this area is also found a secure technical closet for the water and electrics. The property enjoys approximates 100 m² of panoramic outdoor terraces, which lead into the pool area and gardens that flank the villa and the roughly 7,000 m² of terraced olive groves found beyond.

Located on a hilltop, just 10 km from Arezzo, this charming semidetached farmhouse combines the charm of tradition with the comfort of a recent renovation. The property is easily accessible and well connected to main services, while maintaining a private and green setting.

The property is built from the renovation of an ancient oil mill (251 m² – 2,701 ft²) used for olive pressing, originally an accessory building of the adjacent historic villa. Evidence of its old purpose is still preserved in the original stone millstone, a precious historic element that recalls the building's original use for producing valuable extra virgin olive oil.

After being completely renovated in 2011, the house has an independent entrance, is surrounded by a well-kept private garden of about 600 m² on two sides, and is finished with an olive grove of 7,200 m² on the slope below the house. These outdoor areas provide the perfect space for outdoor living, pursuing personal interests, and producing oil for family needs.

The interior spaces are distinguished by refined finishes, high-quality materials, and extraordinary brightness, thanks to the excellent exposure. The layout of the spaces is particularly rational and functional.

On the ground floor, the living area consists of welcoming rooms well connected to each other, with the added value of direct access to the garden from both sides of the house, a feature that guarantees continuity between indoors and outdoors and allows outdoor living at any time of the day. At the end of the floor are a laundry, a bathroom and an office space (usable as bedroom).

The sleeping area, located upstairs and accessible via an elegant staircase, is also bright and well organized. A convenient corridor leads to three bedrooms, all generously sized and each with its own private bathroom, ensuring maximum comfort and privacy for guests and family members.

In the garden, there is also a former lemon house (29 m² – 312 ft²), usable as a storage, workshop or shed, a service bathroom, and through a short external staircase, the technical room (12 m² – 129 ft²) underground dedicated to plant systems.

In hilly location just minutes from the center of Arezzo, one of the most prestigious residential areas, this refined 238-m² house with up to 6 bedrooms dominates the landscape with a well-balanced architecture, immersed in the tranquility of a natural setting where woods, olive groves, and cypress rows draw one of the most picturesque scenes of the Arezzo countryside.

The residence is arranged over three habitable floors and occupies half of the property exposed to the southeast. In addition to a large condominium courtyard, the dwelling has about 4,000 m² of private land dotted with olive trees and very suitable for building a private pool.

In the Valdarno hills, not far from Pergine and Bucine, rustic country house with garden and olive grove is for sale. The building (405 m²) is currently divided into two sections, one of which has already been renovated, while the other is to be completed according to a pre-approved plan. The two wings are connected but could be made completely independent to create two separate residential units.

The renovated section occupies the western part of the farmhouse and is laid out over two levels. The ground floor houses the living area, consisting of an entryway, living room, large eat-in kitchen, bathroom, and a spacious utility area with a small cellar and laundry room. The first floor houses the sleeping area, consisting of three bedrooms, two of which have en-suite bathrooms.
