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.
Tuscany - Arezzo - Arezzo
Tuscany, one of Italy's most iconic and breathtaking regions, embodies the essence of Italian beauty, culture, and tradition. Nestled between the Apennine Mountains and the Tyrrhenian Sea, its landscape is a mesmerizing blend of rolling hills, cypress-lined roads, sprawling vineyards, olive groves, and medieval villages perched on hilltops. The region’s natural beauty is matched by its rich history, artistic heritage, and world-renowned culinary and wine traditions.
Wine enthusiasts from around the globe flock to Tuscany for its legendary wine production. The region is the birthplace of some of the most revered wines in the world, such as Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Chianti, produced in the heart of Tuscany, is arguably the most famous, with its distinctive ruby-red color and bold flavors, while Brunello, made exclusively from Sangiovese grapes, is one of Italy’s most prestigious wines, aging gracefully for decades. Wine routes, like the Strada del Vino in the Chianti region, allow visitors to tour centuries-old wineries, sample wines, and explore charming villages along the way.
Tuscany is also a haven for lovers of art and history. Florence, the region’s capital, is a cultural mecca, often referred to as the cradle of the Renaissance. Its galleries and museums, such as the Uffizi and Accademia, house masterpieces from artists like Michelangelo, Botticelli, and Leonardo da Vinci. The iconic Florence Cathedral, with its massive dome designed by Brunelleschi, dominates the skyline, while the Ponte Vecchio, a medieval bridge lined with jewelry shops, is one of the city’s most beloved landmarks.
Siena, another jewel of Tuscany, offers a different charm with its medieval architecture and rich traditions. The Piazza del Campo, known for the Palio, a centuries-old horse race held twice a year, is considered one of the most beautiful squares in Italy. Siena’s Gothic cathedral, with its intricate black and white striped marble, is a stunning testament to medieval craftsmanship.
Further west, Pisa is home to the iconic Leaning Tower, but it also offers much more with its rich maritime history and the grandeur of the Piazza dei Miracoli. Lucca, known for its preserved Renaissance-era city walls, invites visitors to explore its quiet streets, where churches and piazzas surprise at every turn. San Gimignano, a medieval town famous for its many towers, gives visitors a glimpse of Tuscany’s feudal past and offers sweeping views over the surrounding countryside.
Tuscany’s landscapes are also dotted with thermal springs, such as the natural hot springs of Saturnia, providing a relaxing retreat after days of exploring. The coastline, too, with the Maremma region and the island of Elba, offers picturesque beaches and pristine waters, a contrast to the inland hills and vineyards.
THE OUTBUILDINGS
In front of the villa is a charming farmhouse (157 m² – 1,689 ft²) to be renovated. Its location and independence from the main building make it particularly suitable for creating a guest residence, a private dependance, or additional units for hospitality.
Additionally, there is an annex (34 m² – 366 ft²) that can be used for a future pool or sports and recreational activities.
The property is completed by a big agricultural shed (658 m² – 7,080 ft²), whose structure offers substantial transformation potential, subject to the necessary planning approvals. The potential change of use could allow for the creation of additional spaces serving the overall project, including high-level suites and rooms for an exclusive hospitality structure, an independent dependance, spaces dedicated to private events and receptions, recreational areas, wellness, or complementary services.
GEOGRAPHIC POSITION
The villa is located on a hill, in a panoramic position but not isolated, and all the services for daily needs are available in the nearby town (less than five minutes by car). The city of Arezzo, where you can find supermarkets, shopping centers, shops of all kinds, and schools, is about ten minutes by car. The A1 motorway exit, which conveniently connects to Florence, Rome, and Milan, is also reachable in less than twenty minutes.
