Description
We find Podere Marcigliano nestled in the green Valdichiana, on a gentle hill at the gates of the town of Cortona, which is a must-visit destination. First with its Etruscan and then Roman reminiscences, the town enjoyed considerable prosperity during the medieval period and from 1411 followed the glorious fortunes of the Granducato di Toscana. Its cobbled alleys that wind their way up the hill, the ancient buildings, squares and churches, will make you fall in love with this small and industrious centre of the Valdichiana of Arezzo area, a memory you will always carry in your heart in the years to come, we are sure!
In Cortona or Camucia you will find shops, supermarkets, typical restaurants and every kind of service you need.

Nestled in the evocative landscape of the Crete Senesi in Tuscany, Italy, Podere Bellaria is a remarkable vacation rental that invites you to experience the timeless charm of a historic Tuscan farmhouse. Dating back to the 19th century, this extraordinary estate once served as a post station and inn for travelers on horseback, later passing through the hands of noble families before being lovingly restored by its current owner. The meticulous restoration has honored the original architectural layout and classic structural elements while introducing a bold and personal aesthetic: vivid furnishings crafted from rich materials, ornate rounded forms, exposed stone walls, and unconventional accessories and fabrics that together create an interior of rare character and warmth. Ideally situated just minutes from the renowned spa town of Rapolano Terme, the property is perfectly suited for large groups of friends or families seeking both togetherness and independence. The estate benefits from a generous fenced yard of approximately 3,000 square meters at its heart, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. Reliable Internet WiFi keeps you connected throughout your stay, while ample parking is available on the grounds, including a garage accessible on request, ensuring a comfortable and convenient arrival for all guests.
Outdoors
The estate extends across approximately 30 hectares of organic farmland cultivating cereals, olives, and vines, offering a landscape of extraordinary natural beauty. The central park surrounding the house is fully fenced and thoughtfully landscaped with colorful flower beds, clumps of lavender, rows of roses, fruit trees, blackberry and blueberry bushes, aromatic herbs, and iconic Tuscan species including olive trees, cypresses, and a grand shady holm oak that greets you at the entrance. A sweeping pine wood stretches from the front of the house all the way to the pool area, providing natural shade and a sense of seclusion. During the warmer months, the outdoor living experience expands beneath a large portico furnished with tables and chairs, where guests can gather and relax overlooking the pool. A few meters away, a dedicated brick structure houses a kitchen equipped with a wood-burning oven, positioned beside a stone barbecue sheltered by a tall rosemary bush, creating an ideal setting for alfresco cooking and dining. The grounds also feature a boules court and a volleyball field for recreational enjoyment. At the far edge of the property, approximately 200 meters from the house, a private lake is available to guests who wish to try their hand at fishing. The non-heated swimming pool is positioned approximately 30 meters from the house and is infinity on 2 sides, rectangular in shape, measuring 12x6 meters with a depth ranging from 0.35 meters to 2 meters. A shallow entry area of 2.5 square meters at just 0.35 meters deep makes it perfectly safe for young children. Lined in PVC with chlorine purification, the pool is surrounded by a well-maintained sunny lawn equipped with umbrellas, sunbeds, deckchairs, and small tables for sunbathing.

Description
If you decide to spend your vacation at Fattoria Le Chianacce you will find yourself immersed in the green Tuscan countryside, between Arezzo and Siena, overlooking the Valdichiana hills that mark the border between the two provinces.
Le Chianacce farm was founded in the last century and was aimed at raising the prized beef and pork that has always been produced in this area. The owner wanted to recover a part of it, leaving it completely identical to the original construction and equipping it with simple and essential furnishings, which will bring you back to the warm atmospheres of times gone by.
Near the farm you will find the small village of Farneta with the eponymous Abbey of Romanesque origin, which is definitely worth a visit. Because of its strategic location, from the house you can easily reach all the most important art cities and tourist resorts of central Italy.
Only 7 km away you will find the characteristic town of Foiano della Chiana, with its red brick buildings, perched on a green hillock. In Foiano there are all the necessary services, restaurants and trattorias where you can enjoy typical dishes and local wines, supermarkets, stores, pharmacies. If you love shopping, a few kilometers away, you will also find the Valdichiana Village.
The Farm has six apartments, four of which are available to guests, and two inhabited by the owners. At your disposal is a common room with television, laundry, bicycles, ping-pong table and outdoor space equipped with garden furniture and barbecue, where you can enjoy the sun and beautiful summer days.
A few meters from the house, on a natural terrace, you will find the large swimming pool (size 20x8 m. - depth 1.20-1.40 m. - open from May 10 to September 20), with sunbeds, tables and umbrellas for the private use of each apartment, for your days of relaxation and water games with your children. The garden is fully fenced and your four-legged friends are welcome (extra charge could be required). Fattoria le Chianacce
