Description
Property Summary
Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, La Casa di Elsa is a beautifully restored vacation rental set in the medieval hilltop village of Santa Fiora, Italy. Dating back to the early 20th century, this charming property was originally a humble rural house, with animal stalls on the ground floor and peasants' quarters above. Following a skilful renovation completed in 2013, the house has been transformed into a refined and comfortable home that seamlessly blends its rich historical character with modern comforts. The original stone walls, exposed on the exterior and visible beneath the plaster in certain interior spaces, speak to the property's authentic past, while carefully restored pieces of furniture, including 2 old madie, traditional kitchen cupboards once used for kneading and storing bread, now serve as elegant and functional storage units. The lush garden, panoramic swimming pool, and the characteristic medieval town centre of Santa Fiora towering above complete a setting of rare beauty. Surrounded by green woods and set within a 4-hectare estate, the property offers a generous yard that provides both privacy and a deep connection with the natural landscape. Guests benefit from Internet WiFi throughout the house, ensuring connectivity during their stay, and a dedicated gravel parking area is conveniently located near the main entrance, making arrivals and departures effortless.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of La Casa di Elsa are among its most captivating features, arranged across 3 large terraces that descend gracefully through the garden. Lawns enlivened by colourful flower pots, mature trees typical of the Tuscan landscape, including chestnuts, oaks, cypresses, walnut, hazelnut, cherry, and apple trees, create a rich and varied natural setting full of interesting corners to discover. An outdoor seating area furnished with sofas and armchairs invites relaxation in the open air, while a panoramic terrace equipped with a brickwork barbecue offers the perfect spot for preparing and enjoying grilled meals in the company of family or friends. The woods and olive grove that border the garden form part of the wider 4-hectare estate, lending the property an exceptional sense of seclusion and tranquillity. From the main entrance, 2 charming paths wind through the woods alongside little streams, leading guests to the village centre in just a few minutes on foot. A few large steps cross the lawn along the 20 metres separating the house from the panoramic swimming pool, which is set on the lowest terrace of the garden and clearly visible from the rooms and patio. The non-heated pool measures 5 x 11 m with a constant depth of 1.40 m, is edged in stoneware tiles, lined in PVC, and features salt purification. Roman steps lead into the water, and the pool is equipped with both internal and external lighting. The surrounding solarium area extends over a level surface that is partly paved and mostly lawn, furnished with sunbeds and umbrellas, and served by a cold-water shower. The many trees throughout the garden create numerous areas of natural shade, particularly welcome during the warmest days of summer. Please note that photographs of the property were taken in spring, meaning that the appearance of flowering plants and the colour of the garden grass may differ at the time of your arrival.
Unit Layout
La Casa di Elsa is configured across 2 floors which, thanks to the sloping terrain, each benefit from direct access to the outside, welcoming up to a maximum of 6 guests across 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The main entrance on the first floor leads into a small hallway from which 3 double bedrooms open, all oriented to take full advantage of the surrounding views. 1 of these bedrooms features a private balcony, while another offers divisible beds for added flexibility. 1 bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with shower, and the remaining 2 bedrooms share a second bathroom, also with shower. From the hallway, a wooden staircase descends to the living area on the ground floor, which comprises a large open-plan space incorporating a toilet, a living room, a well-equipped kitchen, and a dining room. From this level, 2 large French windows open onto a portico furnished with a table and chairs, where alfresco meals can be enjoyed while admiring the surrounding landscape.

Distances and Attractions
Santa Fiora, considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, is just a short walk from La Casa di Elsa via the charming wooded paths that begin near the property's main entrance. The village is steeped in history, built around the remains of the ancient Aldobrandesque fortifications, of which the Clock Tower is adorned with ceramics by the Della Robbia family, with battlements dating back to the 19th century. Nearby, the Palazzo Sforza stands over the remains of the walls of the old castle, while the Church of Saints Flora and Lucilla houses the celebrated terracotta altarpieces of the Della Robbia Florentine workshop. The Peschiera, a tranquil mirror of clear water dedicated to trout breeding, forms a small and enchanting park immersed in silence, beside which stands the Church of the Madonna delle Nevi, built above the sources of the river Fiora, visible through a glass floor. Exploring the village further along Via Carolina and through its various streets, you pass through the historic Jewish ghetto, whose appearance remains remarkably similar to what it would have been in the mid-16th century, culminating in the Piazza del Ghetto, the only square in Santa Fiora accessible from a single entrance. The Mercury Mine Museum is also open to visitors within the village. Beyond Santa Fiora, the wider region of Tuscany offers an extraordinary wealth of cultural and natural attractions. Etruscan towns rich in history, such as Montepulciano, Montalcino, and San Casciano di Bagni, are within easy reach, as are the great art cities of Tuscany.

The complex comprises 2 distinct buildings: a main villa and a nearby annex, both distinguished by an exceptionally high aesthetic standard, featuring period furniture, original artworks, precious carpets, fireplaces, and innovative design elements seamlessly integrated with home automation technology. Surrounding both structures is a magnificent one-hectare park, designed by a renowned landscape architect and home to an extraordinary collection of more than twenty thousand ornamental plants from around the world. The property offers private parking for up to 4 cars at the entrance gates, along with a one-car garage, ensuring effortless arrivals and departures. A reliable wireless internet connection is available throughout the stay, keeping you connected while you enjoy the tranquillity of this remarkable retreat. The fully fenced yard extends across several terraces around the hilltop, offering unforgettable panoramic views of Arezzo and the rolling hills covered in cultivated fields, olive groves, and vineyards stretching to the horizon.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Villa Ninfeo are nothing short of extraordinary, representing a true masterpiece of landscape design spread across multiple terraces and levels. The one-hectare park winds gracefully around both buildings, marked along its perimeter by an oak wood and framed by spectacular expanses of cultivated land. Paved pathways connect all areas of the estate, guiding you through a sparkling symphony of blossoms, vast areas of lawn, and a remarkable collection of tree species gathered from around the world. Please note that the photographs of the property were taken in spring, so the flowering and the colour of the garden grass may differ at the time of your arrival.
At the heart of the outdoor experience is the oval-shaped swimming pool, positioned between the main villa and the annex, approximately 10 metres from the annex. The non-heated pool is open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday of October and measures 7 by 14 metres, with a depth ranging from 90 cm to 2.50 metres. Entry into the water is via submerged steps, and a diving board is also available. The pool is fully lined with dry-mounted Tuscan stone, with a grey-blue cement bottom that lends a beautifully natural effect within its sandstone-paved surround. On 2 sides, large stone vases filled with water lilies add a romantic and distinctive touch. The pool area is equipped with comfortable sunbeds for sunbathing and is complemented by a romantic gazebo covered in climbing ivy, furnished with sofas and armchairs for those who prefer the shade. A hot and cold-water shower and chlorine purification system complete the pool facilities.
Throughout the park, several carefully arranged relaxation and dining areas invite you to make the most of the outdoor setting. A pretty wooden gazebo furnished with a dining table sits at the exit of the annex, directly in front of the pool. A convenient dining area covered by a large umbrella is positioned near the dining room of the main villa, while a discreet portico at the entrance to the living room overlooks a scenic fountain built with river stones, ideal for reading or simply unwinding.

Description
Property Summary
Nestled in the serene Tuscan countryside of Cetona, Italy, Podere Gragnano is a captivating stone villa that stands as a testament to the timeless beauty of 19th-century farmhouse architecture. The result of a meticulous renovation completed in 2012, this exceptional vacation rental seamlessly blends original structural elements — including salvaged terracotta flooring and oak parquet — with modern comforts, all while preserving the historic character of the former farmhouse. The property is composed of 2 separate buildings: a main villa and a charming annex constructed in the style of Tuscan tradition, together set within an expansive 80-hectare farm estate. The surrounding landscape is dominated by olive trees, vineyards, and unspoiled nature, with sweeping views of the countryside and the majestic Mount Cetona on the horizon. Guests benefit from high-speed Internet WiFi throughout the property, a dedicated parking area with 4 covered spaces accessible via an automatic wooden and iron gate, and a generous private yard spanning 1.5 hectares of lush parkland. Whether you are seeking a peaceful retreat or a base for exploring the cultural riches of Tuscany and beyond, Podere Gragnano offers an unparalleled setting just 5 minutes from the town of Cetona.
Outdoors
The 1.5-hectare park of Podere Gragnano is a beautifully landscaped environment of plush lawns, low hedges, a small olive grove, and the estate's own vineyard, creating a sense of natural abundance and tranquility. Throughout the garden, you will discover a rich variety of plantings including cotoneaster, climbing roses, broom, hydrangeas, irises, fig, peach and apricot trees, and towering oaks, as well as a collection of aromatic herbs. A charming circular iron gazebo invites you to sit and absorb the peaceful atmosphere, while the pergola adjacent to the dining room — adorned with potted oleanders — is fully equipped for outdoor meals and features a wood-burning oven for al fresco cooking. Not far from the pool, tucked behind a cluster of olive trees, a delightful small brick playhouse designed for children contains 2 rooms with games and tables. Two rows of cypress trees line the short gravel driveway leading from the entrance gate to the parking area, lending the approach a distinctly Tuscan elegance. Adjacent to the parking area, a dedicated laundry room with a sink and a bathroom with toilet and shower provides additional practical convenience for guests.
The non-heated swimming pool is located in a quiet corner of the garden behind the house, approximately 40 metres away, and can be reached across a stretch of lawn or via a short flight of steps. The rectangular pool features 1 infinity side, a stone border, Roman steps, and internal lighting, measuring 6 x 12 metres with a depth ranging from 1 metre to 2.20 metres. The purification system combines both chlorine and oxygen treatment, and the interior is finished with a specialist swimming pool plaster. A generous 1,000 square metre grassy sunbathing area surrounds the pool, furnished with sunbeds, deckchairs, and a large umbrella. Just 10 metres from the pool, a brick building houses a small kitchen and a changing room with shower and toilet. The pool is available from the last Saturday of April to the first Saturday of October. Please be aware that photographs of the property were taken in spring, and therefore the blossoming of flowers and the colour of the garden grass may differ from what you observe upon arrival.
