Arezzo

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.

In the heart of the gentle hills surrounding Arezzo, in one of the most authentic and suggestive areas of Tuscany, stands this elegant noble villa from the past, immersed in the tranquility of an important secular private park of 6,800 m². The presence of multiple buildings and the possibility of reinterpreting the spaces according to a unified project make this estate particularly interesting for those wishing to create a private residence of representation or develop a high-profile hospitality destination.

The entrance floor preserves the original character of the residence and features large rooms with heights up to 3.10 m. The ancient cellars and the hayloft, once used for preserving the estate’s products, now constitute spaces of great potential, ideal for reinterpretation according to a contemporary hospitality and wellness project. There is also a private chapel, a precious room adjacent to the cellars, and an exclusive testimony to the noble tradition of the villa. The volumes and atmosphere of these environments naturally lend themselves to the creation of a private wellness center, an evocative wine tasting room dedicated to local wines, a representative cellar, or an exclusive private club. The level is completed with technical rooms, including a boiler and laundry.

A significant staircase leads to the noble floor, the representative heart of the villa. Here, architecture reaches its maximum expression, with rooms characterized by heights up to 4.60 m, important openings, and privileged views of the park. The living area includes a large master kitchen, an elegant dining room, an intimate reading room, a study, and a magnificent reception hall, enhanced by direct access to the park. The sleeping area accommodates two to three spacious bedrooms, a reserved walk-in closet, and three master bathrooms.

The environments preserve the proportions and the charm typical of historic Tuscan residences, while offering ample margins for a restoration project capable of further enhancing their identity.

The topmost habitable level is currently divided into two independent units, a particularly versatile configuration to accommodate family members, guests, or service staff.

• Apt. A: living room, kitchen, two bedrooms, and bathroom;
• Apt. B: lounge with view of the park, attic, two bedrooms, and bathroom.

The spaces can be maintained as two separate apartments or, through a design intervention, reconfigured into a single prestigious residence, including the current winter garden that separates the two entrances.

Crowning the villa is the ancient tower, accessible via a suggestive and imposing wooden staircase. The environment retains its original wooden beams and the ancient monk, elements that highlight its historical and architectural value. This large attic space offers further possibilities: it can become a private study, a library, a master bedroom, a cozy space for guests, or be used as storage.

Elegant Art Nouveau-style villa with private pool and large park for sale, located in a hillside setting of particular prestige near the center of Arezzo. Built in the early 20th century, the villa retains refined architectural and decorative elements typical of Liberty style, which characterize the façade and interior spaces, and are found in the floors, large windows and glass doors, loggia and terraces, in the characteristic panoramic tower, and the ornamental garden surrounding the property.

The property (over 440 ft²) has been completely renovated and converted into an elegant private home with 3 bedrooms and private garage. The 7,000-m² park surrounding the house houses a tennis court and many nooks and crannies in which to relax outdoors.

The origin of the building could be traced, according to some sources, to a medieval refreshment for pilgrims who chose the Arezzo route to reach the Verna Sanctuary from Assisi, following in the footsteps of St. Francis.

Basic services are available in the nearby village (5km; 10') while the historic center of Arezzo is just a 15’ drive away. From Arezzo it is then easy to take the A1 highway to Florence in just over an hour.

The farmhouse (314 m² – 3,379 ft², 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms) is distributed on two floors and is articulated in such a way as to offer excellent livability of both indoor and outdoor spaces:

• Ground floor: entrance hall, large living room with fireplace, dining room, kitchen and utility room;
• First floor: living/relax area with fireplace and large veranda (obtained by closing with glass windows an old loggia) with panoramic views, three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

The elevation where the main entrance is located has western exposure with a splendid view of the sunsets that set the valley ablaze. The building retains its charm as a Tuscan stone house, but recent renovation has given this villa a unique elegance.

The house then has two porches: the one on the north side, which allows you to enjoy the outdoor spaces even in the height of summer, and the one on the southeast side (where there is a wood-burning oven) that connects the house with the large garage (100 m² – 1,076 ft²) and the cellar, obtained in a portion of the garage itself. Near the garage is also the entrance to the central heating plant room, where a pellet boiler is installed.

Elegant villa with park, recently renovated, located in the immediate vicinity of the historic center of Arezzo. The hill where it is located, southeast of the city, is a place of great historical interest: frequented since antiquity by the Etruscans, it hosts on its summit an archaeological area where an important sanctuary once stood.

The villa was carved out of an old farmhouse, which underwent a first significant renovation in 1989. In 2023 further energy efficiency work was carried out with improved insulation, complete replacement of windows and doors, installation of an 11-kW photovoltaic system, solar thermal and a state-of-the-art hybrid boiler (natural gas + heat pump).

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.

In the Tuscan countryside, not far from Arezzo, this Agriturismo is made up of several restored buildings for a total of 16 bedrooms, 16 bathrooms, a restaurant and a wellness center. The surrounding 23 ha of land houses 300 olive trees (producing up to 150 liters of oil per year), a chestnut grove, ample open surfaces to relax and an Infinity pool. The estate is energetically independent (95%) thanks to solar panels and firewood boiler.

The nearby village (3km; 5’) offers a few services (pharmacy, restaurants) but to have a full selection one must move to Arezzo (15km; 20’) where there are supermarkets, banks and post offices if needed. The other art cities of Tuscany (Florence, Siena, Montepulciano, San Gimignano) can all be reached in less than two hours.

The closest airport is Perugia (81km; 1h 5’) but the terminals in Florence, Pisa, Bologna and Rome are equally easy to reach.

On the foothills of Casentino, not far from Arezzo and Subbiano, a 17th-century farmhouse with guesthouse and outbuildings for sale. The property (468 m²), tastefully and carefully restored by the current owner, retains all original features and currently houses a total of 5 bedrooms with large and elegant living areas. The 40.5 hectares surrounding the buildings are covered with woods and olive trees (7.3 ha).

The property, as a whole, lends itself very well to multiple uses.

A large family that was looking for a home in which to live in full contact with nature but at the same time not far from services would find the ideal place here. Alternatively, the country house could be converted into a B&B and/or vacation home with potential conversion of the old stables into a small wellness center for the guests. Finally, the estate could be managed in the form of an Agriturismo if the new owners wanted to try their hand at agricultural activities, which could include olive production alone, new organic crops and even animal breeding.
