LUXURY VILLA WITH PANORAMIC VIEW FOR SALE IN TUSCANY 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.
