The Vineyard House

Surrounded by over a hectare of parkland, this beautiful home will, if nothing else, reestablish your connection to nature – starting on the drive up to the front door, where the path is lined with Cyprus trees. We encourage long morning walks around the grounds, lazy afternoons picnicking at the edge of the vineyards, and sunset swims where you can get out onto terracotta that’s still warm after being sun-baked all day. Enjoy meals al fresco at the striking table on the balcony and drinks in the portico. With outdoor seating for almost every occasion – including coffee and quiet contemplation under the vine-covered pergola – entire days can be spent in Tuscan temperatures, but don’t be surprised if the 16th-century charm of the home calls you in. With beams exposed and tiles kept traditional, you’ll find yourself at home between the rustic walls. Immerse yourself in the history and slower pace of living as you wander around looking for the ideal reading spot. Arezzo and the Medici Fortress, Arezzo Cathedral and Roman amphitheatre lie only a short drive away, whilst Florence, Siena, and Cortona are worth visiting, too, if you’re up for a longer trip.
