About this villa rental
This beautiful 17th Century Villa is set on a tiny Tuscan hill; nestled amongst olive groves & cypresses. It has been featured in various journals and books for its significant beauty and architecture. Registered in the prestigious, “Dimore Storiche Italiane” ADSI.
Most importantly known as an extremely enchanted, charming paradise where you can escape to unwind in the warm Tuscan sun while you drink in the culture and relaxing charm of the property. Our magical home offers everything desired while away, although you may choose to explore all the possibilities close by. Your days can be spent relaxing by the pool or on the loggia, eating alfresco, playing a variety of Italian loved games and exercising amongst the gorgeous nature.
This authentic 17th century Tuscan Villa is located between Cortona and Monte San Savino. A previous estate of the Cavalieri di Santo Stefano and the Grand Duke of Tuscany, finally passed to the present owner.
The working estate of five hundred hectares specializes in grain, sunflower, maize and tomatoes, as well as grape vines, olive oil and fruit trees, including peach, pear and apple. We also have riding stables if you wish to board your horse.
The private cypress lined lane leads to the villa, passing through the olive and tartufo groves, riding stables and family chapel. The front looks out onto the estate park filled with wild birds, chestnut, oak and pine trees - organic herb and vegetable gardens with antique rose gardens and lemons. The entire rear of the villa is discretely walled with the pool, gazebo, bar hut, barbecue (Weber), limonaia with ping-pong table, change room, washroom and shower.
We will share our favourite trattoria, enoteca or villages in the area. Many unforgettable experiences like the local markets, concerts and sagra's which are held every week in surrounding villages. Live life like we do - relax and enjoy everything this gracious culture has to share - art, music, food, wine & local events.
Historical cities such as Arezzo (15km), Arezzo Equestrian Centre (9km), Monte San Savino (8km), Cortona (22km), Pienza (39km), Siena (52km), Florence (70km) and Assisi (85km) are all located within a one hour drive. We are situated on an important historical road and its close proximity to treasured monumental periods of the Etruscan, Roman, Mediaeval and Renaissance make it an ideal base for anyone who would like to explore and enjoy Tuscany.

The villa is a dream property. Our group of 13 people loved the place, it is stunningly beautiful, immaculately kept, well located and the hosts and staff are bar none. We thoroughly enjoyed lounging on the front porch with our coffee in the morning and negronis in the evening, gathering around the dining table and outdoor table for dinners, sleeping on the comfortable beds and taking walks around the property. We look forward to returning next year!

I cannot imagine a more perfect setting or more welcoming host than here at Villa Fontarrronco. The villa is beautifully preserved, sumptuously decorated, an utterly elegant grand dame. Marcelene and her husband, Roberto, are kind, open and generous. We all felt at home and very fortunate to be their guests for the week.

If you were to dream what it would be like to be in a Tuscan Villa for a week the reality would exceed your dream! I promise. We were a family of 11 from ages 16 to 80 and all of us were blown away. Yes, by the beauty of the villa and surroundings, yes by the private chef we hired for dinner, yes by the perfumed air, yes by the day trips from truffle hunting to hunting for The David, but most of all the host Marci went BEYOND where any other owner has gone. Prior to the trip she was always available for every stupid question and during our stay she was there at a moment notice for anything and everything. The villa is spotless, furnishings are not tired they are charming, there is no musty odor as with some old homes, and the other staff is warm and wonderful in every way. The word "special" is simply not enough. Do note becuase of the configuration if all of the bedrooms are full you may have to share a bathroom but who cares. They are large, with amazing views and it truly does not matter. Before you go make sure to hire private transportation becuase you cannot count on taxis and there is no Uber. Gracie Marci for making our stay remarkable. Not just becuase of the amazing villa but because of your kindness and talent. We miss you already. The Huberman/ Sydney family. xoxoxox
