About this villa rental
Salceta is a typical Leopoldina style stone villa in September in the wonderful Valdarno area on a private and peaceful estate with woods, olive groves and wineyards. A meticulous restoration using high-quality materials and conveyance to a sense of beauty and elegance to the house.
The villa sleeps comfortably 10 people and is the ideal vacation solution for a group of friends or a family reunion that wants to spend an unforgettable Italian style vacation. In the outdoor area of Salceta guests will find all the amenities to spend a memorable holiday: a nice swimming pool (6x12) an Italian style meal, and a lovely garden.
The villa is located in a very strategic place: Florence, Arezzo and Siena are at 25-35 minutes by car. Nearby is the small town of Il Borro and Loro Ciuffenna, the medieval Church of Gropina, the many wineries and restaurants, and for fashion addicts the Prada outlet.
For those who are looking for thermal waters, the famous San Giovanni Terme in Rapolano Terme is less than 50 minute drive away.

Marina,
Our stay at your Tuscany country home for nearly 30 nights exceeded our expectations! Bravo. We stayed June 10 to July 8, 2023 and will never forget your 25-acre property with its vineyard, vegetable garden and immaculate swimming pool. When you prepared my daughter Maddy and I a country pasta dinner unasked on our first night, I knew we were in good hands with you as a gracious host. Maddy's partner Sarah joined us a few weeks later, as did others.
This was an emotional trip. Before she departed in 2020, my wife Tracy and I had vowed to each other to rent a big home in the Tuscany hills and invite friends and family to stay with us. Now that vow is kept, with such sweet memories.
With its six comfy bedrooms and four baths, the tastefully renovated Salceta stone house easily accommodated the 11 people who came and went over our stay, each visiting for short periods. We all enjoyed Marina's wines made from vines grown on the property, and her olive oil.
Her event suggestions were perfect. Excellent local winery visits resulted. She even arranged a pasta cooking class at the house where we humbly helped the expert cooking crew create a scrumptious lunch for a reasonable extra fee that included many courses and wines. Day trips to ancient Florence, Siena, San Gimignano, Arezzo, Cortona, Poppi and elsewhere thrilled our adventurous hearts. Don't be shy to ask Marina for travel tips!
This was the trip of many lifetimes. Thank you, Marina!

We all had an incredible time at Marina’s property. We had 8 people visit in total (two children aged 2 & 4, four adults and two seniors). We were celebrating my parents’ 65th birthdays and 35th anniversary. The house had more than enough room for a very comfortable, 6-night stay in Tuscany and was very central to all of the little towns we wanted to see.
Marina takes obvious pride in the landscaping and maintenance of the property at Salceta, as the gardens and flowers are lush, and the pool is perfect (albeit a little chilly!). The temperature of the pool did not stop our two young children in enjoying the water. They played and splashed around while everyone enjoyed cold beverages and aperitivos around the pool. The grounds were flat and safe for the kids to run around, while the adults relaxed and visited outside.
Marina cooked us a fabulous home-cooked meal the night we arrived at Salceta, and we appreciated this so much given we had spent the day travelling and arriving from the airport. We tried a few bottles of her wonderful wine, and it was the cherry on top to a great meal. My kids loved the lemon meatballs and we all enjoyed the delicious tagliatelle she had made.
Marina, we loved your restaurant recommendations. They were spot-on! We tried a restaurant 1.5 in down the road and it was an an excellent spot for families with young children.
We so enjoyed everything about our stay at Salceta. We hope to be back someday to experience it all again!

We rented this property for 4 weeks so that various family members could join us at various points during our stay. Everyone loved it particularly the swimming pool. The location was such that many “sites” were within no more than an hour’s drive. As we had young (grand)childrenwith us for much of the time, our eating out was primarily at lunchtime when many restaurants do not serve pizza. Worth bearing in mind that Lo Strettoio -2km from La Salceta - does do them at lunchtime on Tuesdays ! Sunday lunch is an institution and we very much enjoyed joining the locals on all 3 Sundays during our stay. Our nearest restaurant - Casa del Buono - was the most sophisticated ( lovely fish dishes) and the staff were both friendly and helpful.
Marina has helpfully produced some information sheets with restaurant and other recommendations. We would not have run out of places to go and/or to eat if we had been there for 12 weeks let alone 4!
We did go off piste on a number of occasions and enjoyed visits to Anghiari and Asciano, the former in particular being amazing.
The kitchen is fairly simple but then so is most Italian food. We are already missing the fabulous tomatoes and mozzarella!
Finally, Marina is a delightful owner and the wine from her vineyard is lovely

Villa Salceta is a stunning house set away from the bustle of the cities.
The house has everything one would need for a comfortable stay and Marina was extremely kind and helpful when we arrived tired from our journey. It is easy to get to Arezzo, Sienna and Florence, but also lovely to be away from the cities in a beautiful country house with cooling pool. We had a series of friends and family stay and the house was ideal for a large group. The wine is excellent, WiFi good , and local amenities easy to access.
I thoroughly recommend.
