About this villa rental

Fenice is a traditional Tuscan villa set among rolling hills, olive groves and open countryside, offering space, privacy and beautiful panoramic views. It is ideally placed for exploring Tuscany by car or train, while still enjoying a peaceful rural setting, with a local pizzeria and small shop within walking distance. 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms sleeping 8 + 2

The villa sits within extensive private grounds and features a large swimming pool measuring 12m x 5.5m, with both shallow and deep ends, suitable for adults and children alike. The outdoor areas are designed for easy holiday living and include a covered BBQ and outdoor dining area, wide lawns, a children's play area, a ping-pong table and a hammock, making it easy to spend long summer days outdoors.

Inside, Fenice is welcoming and comfortable, with generous living spaces, a fully equipped kitchen and several areas where everyone can relax together. The bedrooms are spacious and simply furnished, offering a cool and restful place to unwind after days exploring the region. Air conditioning is available in the bedrooms to ensure comfortable sleeping during the warmer summer months.

Note that 2 of the 4 bedrooms are set on the first floor, and 2 on the second floor, making property ideal for two families. Note due to layout the second floor is ideal for either a family or a group of children rather than 2 couples.

Despite its peaceful rural setting, Fenice has the rare advantage of a local pizzeria and small shop within walking distance. A wider choice of restaurants, villages and amenities can be reached within a short drive. The villa is well located for visiting Castiglion Fiorentino, Cortona and Arezzo, making it an excellent base for discovering this part of Tuscany.

Fenice is particularly well suited to guests who enjoy exploring by car, with easy access to the Valdichiana and surrounding towns. A local train station is also 10 minutes by car, providing a convenient option for day trips without driving.

Additional features include private parking within the property, good privacy throughout the grounds and plenty of space for both adults and children to relax and enjoy a true Tuscan atmosphere.

Location and exploring:
Please note that automated distance information can be misleading in rural areas. Although some places may appear close “as the crow flies,” walking routes are often impractical.

Fenice is well positioned for exploring some of Tuscany's most beautiful and well-known destinations. It sits between Perugia, Siena and Arezzo, with other nearby places to visit including Cortona, Lake Trasimeno, the Val d'Orcia, Monteriggioni and Bagno Vignoni.

The closest airport is Florence, approximately a 90-minute drive away, with Pisa also an option at around two hours by car. Even Rome can be visited as a long day trip, taking around two and a half hours by car.

For guests who prefer not to drive every day, a local train station is within a 10 minute drive, making city visits far more relaxed.

Golf enthusiasts will also find several golf courses within approximately 30 minutes' drive.

Closer to home, there is a pizzeria and a small local shop just 100 metres away. Another well-regarded restaurant is around 2 km away, with a wider choice of restaurants and amenities available in the local village, approximately a 5 km drive.

Pros: From the first night it felt like home away from home. The kitchen was very well equipped. Plenty of cookware, glasses, and dishware. The pool was wonderful, though too cold to get into because it was too early in the season. The view from the pool was indescribable! We had two dinners prepared for us. I would highly recommend at least one dinner being prepared. The food was better than the restaurants we dined at. The freshness could be tasted. Our first night we made our own simple pasta dish. We used some of Linda’s herbs in that meal after grabbing essentials from Gala, one of the local grocery stores. The villa is very centrally located and we were able to to see so much of the Toscana Hills. Cons: Not suitable for mobility impaired individuals. The many stairs were not as horrible as not having a lavatory on the first floor when getting back from a day of site-seeing.I would happily rent again. I also would recommend this villa to persons I know that are interested in a very large villa with plenty of bedroom space and a view that is awe-inspiring!

Very friendly and accommodating hosts. The meal they cook was excellent. The location was beautiful and the pool area was kept immaculate. It was a characterful and spacious property but some of the furnishings were a little tired and wobbly. The spa bath did not work and neither did the plug in the bath. The plug in the kitchen sink also did not work and some of the cabinets were in need of repair. Overall it was a beautiful place to holiday and I would have no reservations about recommending it to others.
