About this villa rental

Podere Aiaccia sits alone high in the Tuscan hills overlooking a panoramic view, which can be enjoyed from every room in the farmhouse. Aiaccia is a large converted farmhouse equipped for modern needs whilst retaining many original features. The water comes directly from the top of the mountain and is purified by the house's sophisticated water purification system so can be drunk straight from the tap! Aiaccia is dialect for "underground stream".

Accommodation consists of a large entrance hall, downstairs washroom, good sized kitchen, large dining room and a large sitting room all with doors leading onto the terrace. The siting room contains a fully working fireplace. Upstairs a large landing leads through to two large double bedrooms and a twin room, one double with ensuite bathroom. A spacious family bathroom is situated on this floor.

Outside a terrace spans the length of the farmhouse with a lower terrace for a more intimate space. Steps lead down to the swimming pool which also enjoys panoramic views. The extensive grounds and woodland surrounding the property can be explored, you can enjoy building camps or just wandering in the solitude of the countryside.

The farmhouse can only be accessed by a 1 km private road.

Podere Aiaccia is rural escape for families and a quiet romantic getaway for your special someone. Pets are very welcome and with space to roam they can enjoy the countryside with freedom!

The nearest village is San Leo Bastia, a 10 minute drive away. In the other direction the medieval walled town of Cortona nestled atop a Tuscan hill is popular with tourists and locals alike. Sienna is an hour and a half drive from the house, Florence two hours and Rome two and a half hours drive. Your nearest airport is Perugia with direct flights from main airports around the world. From Perugia the farmhouse is a 45 minute drive.

Having vacationed in this area for the last 20 years and lived here for four, rarely have we come across a restoration with the attention to detail and clearly a personal touch from someone passionate about this special place. A beautifully restored farmhouse interior with plenty of space and good size rooms all finished to a high standard. The living room especially is a comfortable and inviting escape when it’s too hot outside. The outside areas and furniture could do with some renewal to fully enjoy the incredible view from the terrace. The pool is perfect for a dip to cool off on those hot afternoons. Location wise you have to know where you are and the beauty of this place is to spend time here immersed in nature. Be prepared to be visited by the local wildlife as you are in the middle of the woods and it comes in all shapes and sizes. It is a place to disappear for a while in complete tranquility. To that point we would not recommend it as a base camp if spending your days touring around Tuscany/Umbria is your plan. You will miss the point of the place and spend too much time traveling to destinations and back. It is a retreat at the end of a 1km stoney road in the woods (which takes some navigation) and a beautiful one at that.

Had a good time, check in wasn't done properly. But we believe that it was a coincidence and will not happen again. Anything else was nice. The road is a bit difficult to drive on. Would recommend a car with a bit ground clearance. We are coming back most definitely.

The house is spacious and modern, the rooms are big and practical. The pool is on the smaller side but it was good enough for us and our three kids. The house is on the border with Umbria but the surroundings are beautiful. You feel really alone with the stars (and deers and rabbits who come to visit). Some interesting day trip destinations to visit (Cortona, Gubbio…). Overall it was a relaxing stay, we appreciated the welcome.

Authentic and classic Italian. An Old charming House With a beautiful view over the Valley. Can recommend this place if you want absolut quietness.
8.0 / 10.0
The house is very spacious, solid (a beautifully restored stone house) and comfortable, but the best thing about it is the location. The view over the almost completely unspoiled valley is amazing. The pool, although quite small, is ideally located in a natural terrace that takes the sun all day long. All in all we had a great stay. Not ideal for those who don't like isolation or don't own/drive a 4WD. The house is at the end of a fairly long drive through the woods on an unpaved and very bumpy road.
