About this villa rental
Villa Cecilia is an old farmhouse dating back to before 1800. You will find it perched on a hill in the heart of the Valdichiana, about 4 km from Castiglion Fiorentino, a characteristic village where you will find shops, restaurants, supermarkets and all necessities.
The farmhouse has been recently and carefully restored under the careful guidance of the owners, who strongly wished to maintain its ancient origins and characteristics. The original terracotta tiled floors, the high ceilings with wooden beams, all coordinated with quality furnishings, with fine antiques, are a perfect match for the characteristics of the villa. You will feel a sense of warmth at the villa, you will feel welcomed and pampered, perfectly in harmony with your surroundings.
The history of the farmhouse is also fascinating. In ancient times, the Valdichiana was a swamp and before the land reclamation took place, its waters lapped the land of the property and just a few steps from the house there was a small harbour for boats that connected by water to the surrounding villages.
Today the villa is part of a farm that includes vineyards, cereal crops, farmyard animals and beautiful horses. About 1 km away, at the owners' residence, you will be able to enjoy the organic produce from their vegetable garden free of charge. Their paddocks, should you travel with your horses, will be at your disposal (service available for a fee).
Around the villa, you will enjoy a large, completely fenced green space perfect for your morning or evening walks even with your four-legged friends. Inside the park there is also a woodland path (approx. 500 m) where you can relax, walk and organise cool snacks.
For your days at home, there is a beautiful infinity swimming pool (size 6x12 m, depth 1.35 m - open from 01 May to 30 September), with a Roman staircase, bicycles at your disposal, a beautiful porch well equipped with outdoor furniture, where you can enjoy a book or an aperitif in company, the barbecue for your cookouts and also games for your children.

8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2022
This converted farmhouse stands in exceedingly spacious grounds with an outstanding pool, which is serviced daily by the warm and kind hosts, Sonja and Elia. It is equipped relatively basically and in the summer the house would benefit greatly from air-conditioning, which I understand the owners are now considering. The house is also well-positioned for exploring the towns of south-eastern Tuscany.

Wir waren für 2 Wochen in der Villa. Es war genial! Wir hatten 2 Hunde dabei und das erste was wir taten, war den Zaun zu kontrollieren. Ergebnis: das riesige Grundstück ist lückenlos eingezäunt. Also ein Hundeparadies.
Das Haus und die Terassen sind unglaublich liebevoll eingerichtet. Man kann zu jeder Tageszeit sowohl Schatten, als auch Sonne genießen und das auf wirklich gemütlichen Gartenmöbeln. In der Küche gibt es absolut alles, was man braucht. Sogar einen Kuchen und einen Obst- und Gemüsekorb gab es zur Begrüßung.
Die Lage des Hauses ist optimal. Ruhig, aber nicht weit von den interessanten Städten, oder besten Restaurants der Toskana. Die Besitzerin kümmert sich liebevoll um Garten und Gäste.
Vielen Dank für alles. Es war ein perfekter Urlaub.

We stayed at the villa for 2 weeks. It was brilliant! We had 2 dogs with us and the first thing we did was check the fence. The result: the huge property is completely fenced in. So it's a dog paradise.
The house and the terraces are unbelievably lovingly furnished. You can enjoy both shade and sun at any time of day on really comfortable garden furniture. The kitchen has absolutely everything you need. There was even a cake and a fruit and vegetable basket as a welcome.
The location of the house is ideal. Quiet, but not far from interesting towns or the best restaurants in Tuscany. The owner lovingly takes care of the garden and the guests.
Thank you very much for everything. It was a perfect holiday.

La vaste propriété et la piscine sont splendides, très agréables et dans un état d’entretient parfait. On entre dans la belle propriété par une grande grille à ouverture automatique du plus bel effet.
La vaste maison dans le style Toscan qui réserve de belles surprises est bien agréable et reste fraîche lors des journées très chaudes (il faut garder les portes et les volets fermés bien sûr).
Les propriétaires sont charmants et aux petits soins. Ils ont une ferme non loin de la maison et sont toujours là pour aider en cas de besoin. Ils nous ont même offert un magnifique panier de légumes de leur ferme à l’arrivée (de même qu’un bac d’eau et une bouteille de coca) ! Encore merci à eux :)
Nous avons passé une superbe semaine à la villa Cécilia, profitant des villages et villes aux alentours, des terrasses, de la piscine, de la propriété, des criquets et de la maison (vaste cuisine et séjour, hall de nuit impressionnant, salle de bain très agréables et belle chambre parentale avec un lit à baldaquin).
Une route longe la propriété mais le bruit est léger et ne dérange pas.
