La Puzzola

La Puzzola is a smaller villa located in the small village of Solata. The town of Bucine is close as well, and Arezzo is only 35 kilometers away.

This is the perfect villa for a couple or small family looking for a peaceful and relaxing holiday away from the noise of the city. La Puzzola is a completely independent villa that sets about 4 kilometer off the road and as such offers a great deal of privacy.
La Puzzola garden
La Puzzola is a small villa but it has everything required, and it is in superb grounds with a wonderful aspect. It is a perfect place for a relaxed, tranquil holiday. The villa is in a remote location at the top of a hill, and the drive up on the hairpin gravel track is exciting or terrifying, depending on your point of view, but it is the remoteness of the location that gives it its special charm. Patrizio and Tiberio are excellent hosts who were very kind and helpful, and made us feel very welcome. We particularly enjoyed all the personal touches, including the vegetables in the garden and the home made wine. Thank you Patrizia and Tiberio.

Perfect location in the Tuscan hills . Very peaceful and suitable for Kids. Perfect for family with kids. There is a large garden with football pitch including goals. Swimming pool that is safe. If you are looking for a secluded villa where you wake to the sound of the birds and the sun coming though the bedroom villa. La Puzzola is perfect. The photos of the villa (inside and out) clearly show what to expect. The directions on the web site are perfect. We reached there no problem from Pisa. The kitchen and dining area are really very clean.

La Puzzola exterior
The villa has a private round swimming pool for the use of the guests. There is a large green space around the villa that is an excellent place for sunbathing, starting walks around your property or for children to play.

There is plenty of patio furniture to enjoy a bit of outdoor dining, as well as chairs and table at the pool. A barbecue is also available for the use of the guests. You will feel perfectly at peace and at home, something that is hard to find for many people in their own homes!


This is a very relaxing, beautiful place.The photos didn't do it justice. The garden is huge and very well maintained. The owners take great pride in this villa and it shows. In my opinion it is the right size for a couple but no more. Be prepared for the journey to the top of the mountain to get to the villa but if isolation, quiet and gorgeous views are what you are after yo have come to the right place.

The villa is quite remote and very, very quiet. So if one is looking for a complete break from urban / city life, La Puzzola is a great place!
