    Overview

    Small villa with great pool between Siena and Arezzo

    The small and charming estate La Romantica lies halfway between Arezzo and Siena, close to the hilltop village of Lucignano, known for its streets built in circles around the main church. Lucignano lies 3 km (1,8 miles) from the house. Most of Tuscany's major sight-seeing spots can be reached in approx. 1 hour's drive. Think Florence and Siena, but also Arezzo, Pienza, Montalcino, and Montepulciano. And should this not be enough, cross the border to Umbria and discover Perugia, Città di Castello, Orvieto and Assisi, all in about 1 hour by car.

    Small villas (this one sleeps 4 to 6 guests) with private pools are a rarity. La Romantica is perfectly located, has great charm, and a lovely pool. This charming old farm building has been restored with a great sense of easy living. The owner, an Italian who has lived in Brasil and works with India, has had a light hand in mixing and matching furniture, textiles and objects from 3 continents.

    Two large spaces occupy the ground floor. The kitchen runs along the entire width of the house, has windows or doors on 3 sides and organises itself around a large typically Tuscan farm table. The antique tiles behind the sink were discovered at the Arezzo flea market, the lamps above the table were brought back from India. French windows open onto the garden. The living room has a large fire place, French windows, white sofas and chairs and a colourful Indian dhurrie. The style is simple and comfortable, just as we like it.

    The upper floor is reached over the outdoor stairs which lead into a sunny upstairs living room and two bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. The view from the bedrooms is lovely: rolling hills and the charming town of Lucignano on the horizon.

    The annex, about 20 metres from the main building, houses another double bedroom with bathroom and private terrace. the material used here was made to order in India, to the design of the owner. At the back of the annex you will find a large laundry.

    The pool lies on a lower level of the garden down a gentle slope. The grey stone and dark turquoise colour of the water give this pool a very stylish look. There is a shower next to the pool.

    La Romantica can be rented with 2 or 3 bedrooms. If you rent the house with 2 bedrooms, the annex will be closed (and not rented to anyone else).

    Activities

    The nearest village is the medieval hilltop Lucignano, famous for its eliptic walls. Here you will find grocery stores, cafés, newsstands, banks and simple trattorias. A detailed list of restaurants recommended in the vicinity can be found in the farmhouse.

    But you will not want to miss the surrounding villages such as Monte San Savino, Foiano, Sinalunga and Castiglion Fiorentino as well as the medieval hamlet of Gargonza, all of which will conform in their picturesque perfection to everyone’s dream of a hilltop Tuscan village.

    Arezzo is the next largish town. You will not want to miss the frescoes by Piero della Francesca in the Basilica San Francesco. If you are at La Romantica on the first week-end of the month, you might also want to visit the antique market on the main square.

    Florence and Siena, Tuscany’s most important cultural milestones, are easy to reach from La Romantica.

    Outlet: Fashion addicts can splurge out at the famous Prada factory outlet, which lies on to road to Florence.

    Wellness: Two excellent SPAs can be found in the Rapolano Terme thermal resort (18 km from La Romantica).
