The property features a magnificent fresco on the ground floor entrance, recently created by a local artist as a scale reproduction of one of the frescoes from the celebrated cycle of the "Legend of the True Cross," a masterpiece by Piero della Francesca housed in Arezzo. Each door of the manor house is unique and hand-painted by local artists with reproductions of famous Italian and European works of art, reflecting the owners' deep passion for artistic heritage. Pets are welcome at the property; however, a mandatory cleaning surcharge applies per pet per day. Guests are kindly requested to follow the waste disposal instructions provided at check-in, as failure to do so will result in a surcharge of 200.00 euros applied at check-out. For stays of at least 7 nights, 6 hours of mid-week cleaning are included in the rental price. The property also includes a Zer0Dep Guarantee. Tourist tax may be applicable depending on current local regulations.
