The swimming pool is really big and it is a Paradise for swimmers. Its water is not treated with chlorine but only with sea salt, so there isn’t that pestering odor of chlorine and the water is very good for the sensitive skin of children and allergic people that remains incredibly soft. The swimming pool is illuminated and there is also a solar shower.

  The Whirlpool- for up to 6 persons- is in the garden in a sunny position. It is really a little jewel and there, with a glass of prosecco, you can enjoy the wonderful vista- surely, this will remain an unforgettable highlight of your Tuscan holidays.   The vegetables of Signora Cristina’s kitchen garden, the owner, can be picked by the guests and this is always a welcomed pleasure. The farm produces Olio Extravergine di oliva that you can buy directly from the producer and take home. This kind of olive oil, so pure, good and genuine can be bought only by the maker and can’t be found in any shops. Signora Cristina lives here with his husband and two little funny dogs (Duccio und Drago). She is vey discreet and helpful; she speaks a good French and a bit of English and she really cares for the well-being of their guests.  

Small well-bred dogs are allowed on request.

A strong point of this Tuscan house is that it is near Arezzo, only 5 minutes drive.  Arezzo is the chief town of the province and it is not a traditional touristic destination, but it is really beautiful and worth of a visit. The imposing gothic dome, which dominates the town, the precious palazzos and the towers in the old historic centre, the Medici’s stronghold, the main square- Piazza Grande-not to mention the church of San Francesco with the famous Piero della Francesca’s frescos: are really worth a visit. Who is here on holiday during the first week-end of the month, can’t miss“ la fiera antiquaria“. On the first Sunday and Saturday of each month, takes place in the old part of the city one of the most important Italian antiquarian outdoor market with many exhibition stands and also second hand dealers who offers their articles. The atmosphere is very lovely and you will enjoy yourself, trying to make a good bargain!  This holiday house is really a good jumping-off for touristic visits; Florence, Siena, Perugia, Assisi, Cortona San Gimignano,   Assisi can be easily reached in a day tour. For your shopping  , Arezzo is only a few minute drive away, but also at the last roundabout traffic, fronting the holiday house, there is already a Todis Supermarket,  daily opened and the Centro Commerciale Setteponti, 10 Minutes drive, that probably you have already seen, on the left, coming from the highway .
