Property Description

Once you arrive at Podere Varlunga, set in a small but splendid corner of the valley, you will dominate the whole of the Casentino, the ancient valley formed by the river Arno and bordered by the rugged foothills of Pratomagno and the Alpe di Catenaia.
From here, in a short time, you can decide whether to visit the most important historical centres of the valley, the imposing castles built to defend the territory, or the evocative places dear to Christianity such as the Abbey of Vallombrosa, the Hermitage of Camaldoli and the Sanctuary of La Verna. Places immersed in remote atmospheres that will allow you to spend memorable days discovering the past.
At the same time, the villa is equidistant from two of the most important centres in Tuscany, Florence and Arezzo (50 km). The small village of Borgo alla Collina is less than 1 km away and can be reached by a short walk.
The villa has a large, completely fenced green area, a private panoramic swimming pool (size m. 10x5 -depth m. 1,20-1,50 - open from 01st May to 30th September) which is also fenced, table tennis and a swing. Podere Varlunga is your ideal destination if you’re on holiday with your children.
The villa is well furnished and equipped, but without a doubt the covered porch with typical wooden and wrought iron furniture is the favourite space of our guests. On summer evenings, with the pool fully lit up at night, it is certainly here that you can enjoy the coolness of the valley, a good Tuscan dinner and a bottle of wine.
For nature lovers and for the enjoyment of your children, it is impossible to miss an excursion to discover the natural wonders of the Casentino Forest Park.

Ein sehr sauberes Haus. Alle Strom- Wassereinrichtungen funktionieren einwandfrei. Unsere Vermieterin ist mega nett, auch Ihr Mann. Der sieht immer wieder am Haus ganz früh um niemand zu stören vorbei und kümmert sich um alles in der Anlage.
Pool ist sehr sauber. Das Wasser war leider A....kalt und wurde auch nicht warm. Es wurden uns die Betten frisch bezogen, genug Decken sind vorhanden. Dicke flauschige Baumwollhandtücher in ausreichender Menge. Wir waren 6 Personen, 8 geht auch gut. 10 Personen fände ich seeeehr sportlich. Die gesamte Grünanlage ist bestens gepflegt. Wer hier bucht macht gar nichts falsch !!!!!

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] A very clean house. All electricity and water facilities work perfectly. The landlady is super nice, as is her husband. He always stops by the house very early so as not to disturb anyone and takes care of everything on the property.
Pool is very clean. Unfortunately the water was A...cold and didn't get warm either. Our beds were freshly made and there were enough blankets. Thick, fluffy cotton towels in sufficient quantities. There were 6 of us, 8 is also fine. I would find 10 people very sporty. The entire green area is well maintained. If you book here you won't go wrong!!!!!

Sehr schönes und gepflegtes Haus und Außenanlagen. Wunderschöne Aussicht vom Pool, der häufig sauber gemacht wurde. Wir waren 2 Familien mit insgesamt 8 Personen und uns hat es sehr gut gefallen. Vor allem die Nähe zum Ort Poppi und die tolle Bar direkt um die Ecke hat uns sehr gut gefallen.
Tolle Weingüter in der Nähe und auch nach Arezzo und Florenz ist es nicht weit.
Super nette Vermieter. Vielen Dank.

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Very nice and well-kept house and grounds. Beautiful views from the pool which was cleaned frequently. We were 2 families with a total of 8 people and we really enjoyed it. We particularly liked the proximity to Poppi and the great bar right around the corner.
Great wineries nearby and it's not far to Arezzo and Florence.
Super nice landlord. Thank you.

We have visited this beautiful place in September ‘22, the area is lovely, house beautifully arranged in a Tuscan style, swimming poll is very clean and comfortable.
The property is big and calm, you feel like there’s nobody else in the world, but at the same time it’s a five minute walk to a nearby shop.

Nearby you will find also a very nice village - Poppi with a beautiful castel and nice cafeterias/ restaurants.
30 min drive there is a beautiful winery Castel de Nipozzano where you can have a tour around and degustation.

I do truly recommend this place if you really want to rest.

Wie schon viele Jahre zuvor, kommen wir immer wieder gerne in's Podere Varlunga.
Es gibt nichts schöneres als vom Pool aus die wunderbare Aussicht zu genießen.
Für uns ist es das perfekte Ferienhaus, mit super netten Eigentümern, die das Haus picobello in Ordnung halten. Da das Grundstück komplett eingezäunt ist, ist es auch für unseren Hund hier sicher. Wir können das Haus uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] As many years before, we always enjoy coming back to Podere Varlunga.
There is nothing better than enjoying the wonderful view from the pool.
For us, it is the perfect holiday home, with super nice owners who keep the house in picobello order. Since the property is completely fenced in, it is also safe for our dog here. We can recommend the house without hesitation.

Wonderful house, beautiful and really big garden area and a perfect swimming pool. Very friendly owners who provided good advices for activities. We spend one week in the house and really enjoyed it. It is perfect for two families as 2 bedrooms and a bathroom are on first floor and the other two bedrooms and bathroom on the second floor, so that everyone has its private area. Also staying there with a dog was easy, as there is lots of space in the garden and everything ist sourounded with a fence. We will definetly book that house again.

Ein sehr schönes Haus, mit landesüblichen Möbeln ausgestattet. Für einen Familienurlaub mit Hund wunderbar geeignet, denn das Grundstück ist rundum eingezäunt. Der Pool ist schön groß und toll am Hang gelegen, deshalb hat man von dort einen super Ausblick. Es sind sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Vermieter. Wir kommen schon mehrere Jahre hierher, und freuen uns schon wieder auf den nächsten Urlaub.

Wie bereits mehrere Jahre haben wir auch dieses Jahr unseren Sommerurlaub im Podere Varlunga verbracht. Auch wenn es diesmal ein etwas anderer Urlaub war, bedingt durch Covid 19, haben wir uns hier wieder sehr wohl gefühlt. Der schöne große Pool mit dem grandiosen Ausblick lädt zum entspannen ein. Die Besitzer sind super freundliche, nette Menschen. Das Grundstück ist sehr gepflegt und der Pool wird täglich gereinigt. Im Haus ist alles vorhanden was man für einen schönen Urlaub benötigt. Auch unser kleiner Hund fühlt sich hier sehr wohl, da das Grundstück komplett eingezäunt ist. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] As for several years, we spent our summer vacation in Podere Varlunga this year. Even if it was a slightly different holiday this time, due to Covid 19, we felt very comfortable again here. The beautiful large pool with the magnificent view invites you to relax. The owners are super friendly, nice people. The property is very well maintained and the pool is cleaned daily. Everything you need for a great vacation is available in the house. Our little dog also feels very comfortable here, as the property is completely fenced. We would love to come back.

Ein wunderschönes Ferienhaus, für uns einfach das richtige.
Der Ausblick und die Lage ist super, die Vermieter sind sehr freundlich.
Wir kommen schon mehrere Jahre und nächstes Jahr bestimmt auch wieder.
Die Nähe zum Dorf und zum Alimentari ist sehr vorteilhaft.

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] A beautiful holiday home, just the right one for us.
The view and the location are great, the landlords are very friendly.
We'll be back for several years and next year.
The proximity to the village and the grocery store is very beneficial.

Beautiful & relaxing view of the Casentino landscape, very nice pool especially in the evening, confortable house : we can confirm that the pictures are reflecting the reality. The owners are very nice, they cleaned the pool every morning when we were all still asleep...Perfect ! Temperatures are hot during the day in August, but the nights are not (ideal to sleep well !). The surroundings are amazing for those who love medieval atmosphere (Poppi, Bibiena, Arezzo, Siena...).
If we had 1 only thing a little negative, that would be the noise made by some agricultural neighbours sometimes, but it luckily didn't last too long.
I strongly recommend this villa, and I want to mention that I'm no relative nor friend of the owners.

sehr schöne Lage, tolles Haus gemütlich eingerichtet und gute Ausstattung für viele Personen. Sehr nette Vermieter. Wir waren rundum zufrieden. Einzig evtl. wissenswert ist, dass die beiden oberen Zimmer hellhörig sind, uns hat das nicht gestört.

Podere Varlunga ist ein sehr schönes gepflegtes Ferienhaus, in wunderschöner Lage. Vom Pool aus hat man einen traumhaften Ausblick auf den gegenüberliegenden Berg. Die Vermieter sind sehr nette Leute. Uns hat es super gut gefallen. Einziger kleiner Nachteil ist die steile und schmale Zufahrt zum Haus.

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Podere Varlunga is a very nice and well kept holiday home, set in a beautiful location. From the pool you can enjoy a fantastic view on the opposite mountain. The owners are very nice people. We liked it very much. The only slight drawback is the steep and narrow driveway to the house.
