Description
From the village of Castiglion Fiorentino, with its shops and services, following the suggestive road that crosses the entire Val di Chio and climbs the wooded hills and represent the natural border between Tuscany and Umbria, you will arrive at a small cluster of houses set on the slopes of the hill and overlooking a beautiful wooded landscape. The last stretch of road, about 200 m, is unpaved and sloping. La Casa del Nonno is a small, old stone house that is part of this original rural settlement once inhabited by farming families. Here you will find guaranteed peace; lazy summer days by the pool and in the solarium enjoying the sun, without hearing any noise except those of nature.
A careful renovation has brought La Casa del Nonno back to life. Rustic style furniture, old beams on the ceilings, the old fireplace in the living room, give it a warm atmosphere reminiscent of times gone by, when the house and the open fire were the shelter of the farmers after a hard day's work.
The house will be your own little nest, well-finished, comfortable and cosy and will immediately give you the feeling of being welcome.
In front of the house there is an outdoor area arranged on natural terraces connected by steps, completely fenced and equipped with garden furniture, barbecue and a small house with laundry. For your exclusive use there is also a beautiful swimming pool (size 6x4 m, depth 1.20 m - open from 1 May to 30th September), with a panoramic view and equipped with sunbeds, deckchairs and sunshade.
For your open-air dinners in the summer evenings, the owners have organised a special corner on a terrace in the garden, equipped with a wrought iron table and chairs and covered by a large parasol. La Casa del Nonno

Il Romitoio, with a breathtaking view from a height of 443 m, is set in the quiet countryside of the Arezzo Val di Chiana, just five minutes from the first inhabited area and a few kilometres from Castiglion Fiorentino and splendid Cortona. The terraced garden will conquer you with its sparkling riot of colours and large spaces with relaxing living areas and the spectacular swimming pool with Jacuzzi tub that dominates just a step away from the house, where nothing stands in the way of the generous panorama. From this amazing natural terrace, the view over the immense expanse of the Val di Chiana and Cortona, bordered on the horizon by the peaks of Monte Amiata and Monte Cetona, is extraordinary: a truly unique landscape, made up of green hills, cultivated fields and small old villages, to be appreciated at any time of the day and evening. The classic ingredients of typical architecture, such as stone for the façades, antique terracotta and sturdy wooden beams, matching traditional furnishings and touches of originality describe its identity, which evokes rural atmospheres and dilated rhythms, albeit with creature comforts, suited to the best hospitality. In Tuscany, but very close to Umbria, this residence will prove to be the perfect starting point to reach the numerous places of artistic interest found within a range of a few kilometres: cities of art such as Siena, Arezzo and Perugia, picturesque borghi (Pienza, Montalcino, Montepulciano, Castiglion del Lago, Anghiari and Sansepolcro) and fascinating spas. All essential services and shops in Castiglion Fiorentino and Camucia are just a few minutes away by car.

Next to it is the laundry room. Air conditioning in the bedrooms and in the main living room.
Park:
About one hectare of fenced park (wire mesh and 1.80 m high hedges) frame the property, dotted with bushes of herbs, rosemary, jasmine, aloe, roses and olive trees that are distributed between the buildings and the set-up outdoor areas. The garden spreads over several terraces connected by flights of steps, and develops mainly in front of the house entrances. In addition to the centrepiece, the swimming pool, the large wooden gazebo with dining table and the barbecue area with wood oven are the ideal accessories for appreciating the peaceful secluded atmosphere that the property offers. Past the automatic entrance gate leading to the house are two large parking areas.
Please notice that photos are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the gardens' grass could be different at the moment of your arrival at the villa.

Description
Galleria di Brolio is an old stone farmhouse whose origins date back to 1800, located between two of the most important towns of the Valdichiana, Castiglion Fiorentino and Foiano, and which is now part of the owners' farm. You will find the farmhouse just a few kilometres from the two towns and in both, as well as various monuments and sites of artistic interest that are definitely worth a visit, you will have shops, restaurants and all kinds of services. The small historic centres of the villages will be a pleasant destination for your aperitifs or dinners at the restaurant.
The farmhouse takes its name from the Galleria di Brolio, a conduit that is still in operation today and is located on the edge of the olive grove. The conduit is part of the canal built between 1932 and 1940 to improve the flow of water towards the Arno, planned by the engineer Vittorio Fossombroni for the reclamation of the valley at the end of the 18th century.
Galleria di Brolio is situated on the edge of a wood of about 20 hectares of oaks and pines used as a hunting reserve for the repopulation of animals; they live here in the utmost freedom and if you love wildlife you will frequently see hares and pheasants running in the olive grove, the vineyard and even in the house lawn.
On the ground floor there is the apartment where the owners live, as well as a cellar and a shed for the farm's agricultural tools, while the first floor is reserved for you. The furnishings are very nice and comfortable, enriched with local antiques, and blend in perfectly with the old features of the house. Not far away, on the other side of the wood, passes the railway line that connects central Italy with the main cities of the peninsula (Florence, Bologna, Rome, Milan), so it will be easy to move around even without a car.
A few metres from the house, surrounded by silver olive trees, you will find a beautiful swimming pool completely fenced and for your exclusive use (size 11x5 m, depth 1.10-1.40 m - open from 01st May to 30th September), together with a gazebo equipped with garden furniture, which will allow you to shelter from the hot summer sun.
There is also a large pergola supplied with wrought iron furniture for eating outside, equipped with a barbecue and a wood-burning oven, for those evenings when you want to enjoy a pizza or a grill “al fresco”.
The owner, on request, will prepare excellent typical Tuscan dinners and pizzas in the wood-fired oven which, we are told by customers who have stayed at the house, are truly delicious. Galleria di Brolio

Property Summary
Nestled in the rolling Lazio countryside on the border with Umbria and within easy reach of Tuscany, Villa Carmeli is an exceptional vacation rental that combines the timeless charm of a traditional Italian stone farmhouse with the refined comfort of contemporary living. Located near Castel Giorgio in Italy, this magnificent three-storey property and its separate annex sit within a vast unfenced park of 10,000 square metres, offering an unparalleled sense of space, privacy, and tranquillity. The heavy stone walls, softened by light blue fixtures that lend a distinctive Provençal character, frame a home where original architectural features such as round vaults, terracotta floors, and exposed chestnut beams have been lovingly preserved throughout the renovation. The contemporary sensibility of the owners has shaped large, warm, and welcoming interiors with a minimalist aesthetic, making Villa Carmeli perfectly suited to an extended holiday with family and friends. The property benefits from complimentary Wi-Fi connectivity throughout, ensuring guests remain connected during their stay. Ample parking is available on-site, with 4 uncovered spaces conveniently positioned in front of the pergola and swimming pool. The expansive grounds serve as a natural yard, inviting guests to explore gravel paths, stone steps, and a landscape rich with oaks, cypresses, walnut and olive trees, lavender, and seasonal wildflowers.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Villa Carmeli are as thoughtfully conceived as the interiors, offering a seamless transition between the comfort of the house and the beauty of the surrounding countryside. The unfenced park extends across 10,000 square metres of semi-hilly terrain, characterised by the native vegetation of the Umbria-Lazio border, including wild asparagus, dog rose, butcher's broom, hawthorn, juniper, holly, bay, strawberry tree, and blackthorn. Arable land surrounds the property, and in summer the landscape is tinged with warm shades of yellow and ochre. Gravel paths and stone steps facilitate movement throughout the grounds, and the property adheres to environmentally responsible practices with door-to-door separate waste collection. A pergola adjacent to the main villa serves as a sheltered outdoor dining and entertaining area, equipped with a barbecue and a dining table, and accessible directly from the open-plan living area on the ground floor. A second pergola with barbecue and dining table is also available at the annex, providing the same outdoor experience for guests staying in the separate building. The non-heated swimming pool is positioned on a lower terrace approximately 20 metres from the main villa and is reached by descending eleven terracotta steps from the pergola or by crossing the lawn from the parking area. Measuring 4 x 10 metres with a constant depth of 1.40 metres, the pool is resin-lined and features chlorine purification, internal lighting, and a metal ladder for water access. The surrounding solarium, finished in porous terracotta and lawn, is furnished with sunbeds and umbrellas, and a solar shower is available nearby. The pool is open from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October. It is worth noting that photographs of the property are typically taken in spring, so the colours and blooms of the gardens, lawns, and park may differ from their appearance at the time of arrival.

Simply yet elegantly decorated, the property features terracotta floors and large windows that flood the spacious living room with natural light, while offering direct views over the magnificent garden.

Outdoors
The expansive 2,000 square metre park, accessible through an entrance gate shared with a neighbouring property, is a beautifully landscaped outdoor space dominated by impressive mature trees. The iconic linden trees, from which the property takes its name, create a naturally cool and fragrant canopy of shade along 2 sides of the house, while 2 majestic fir trees stand at the entrance to welcome guests and guide them toward the main door. A collection of cherry trees lines the sides of the property, offering delicate blossoms in spring and abundant fruit in summer, and rosemary bushes add a further layer of sensory richness to the surroundings. A fully equipped pergola, positioned just outside the French window of the living room, is furnished with tables, chairs, and sofas, providing an ideal setting for outdoor dining and relaxed gatherings while overlooking the meadows where horses graze peacefully in the distance.
The non-heated swimming pool is situated at the centre of the garden, just a few metres from the house and easily reached across the lawn. Rectangular in shape and measuring 9 x 3.5 metres, the pool features a depth ranging from 1.20 metres to 1.80 metres, is lined in concrete, and sanitized with chlorine, with a ladder providing easy access to the water.

For guests who enjoy active outdoor pursuits, 3 mountain bikes are available on the property, ideal for exploring the unpaved roads and trails of the surrounding woodland.

It is a three-storey stone and brick farmhouse with imposing walls and small windows, typical of late 19th century Umbrian farm structures, designed to conserve heat in winter and to be cool in summer. The recent renovation of the property has respected the original plans and architectural features with round vaults, terracotta floors and exposed chestnut beams. The contemporary taste of the owners has given the house large, warm and welcoming spaces but with a minimal style that makes them perfectly functional for the enjoyment of a holiday with family and friends, and rendered dynamic by the installation of a resin floor in the convivial kitchen, by parquet and bleached ceiling beams in the spacious bedrooms, and by stoneware in the bathrooms. The first floor is the heart of the house with the large modern kitchen with dining area, functional and fully equipped, and the cozy sitting room with fireplace from where a series of large travertine steps lead to the infinity pool next to the wisteria-covered pergola with dining table and barbecue. La Vecchia Pieve is perfect for those in search of privacy, relaxation and tranquility but also for hiking, riding and fishing aficionados with the various fully-equipped nature trails that abound in this area. The geographical position allows guests to move easily thanks to the presence of the highway which is just a few minutes away. The famous medieval towns of Perugia, Orvieto, Assisi, Todi, Deruta, Montefalco, Bevagna, Spello, Trevi and Spoleto can be reached in less than 30 minutes with their palaces, noble courts, town walls, churches, monasteries, fortresses and towers, in an intertwining of natural and artistic beauties that evoke an ancient spiritual charm. Less than 2 hours away by car are Rome and Florence. About 3 km from the house, in the village of Spina, are shops, services and a bus stop.

Description
Property Summary
Nestled in the rolling hills of Tuscany, Le Macine is a beautifully restored farmhouse vacation rental that offers an authentic Italian countryside experience in the charming town of Castel del Piano, Italy. Originally dating to the beginning of the 20th century, the property was meticulously renovated by its owners in 2011 using traditional materials that honour its historic character, including Barberino stone walls, terracotta floors, open-face beams, and travertine finishes in the bathrooms. The name Le Macine is itself a tribute to the property's heritage, derived from the 2 antique millstones of an old oil mill that line the entrance drive. The farmhouse enjoys a splendid panoramic view of the surrounding Tuscan hills and valleys, creating a setting of rare natural beauty. The fenced-in property extends over approximately 1 hectare of land and offers ample private outdoor space, making it an ideal retreat for those seeking tranquillity and authenticity. Guests benefit from private parking on site, a generous yard spanning two terraced levels planted with lawn, cypresses, and olive trees, and reliable Internet Wi-Fi connectivity throughout the stay.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Le Macine are as impressive as the interiors, offering a seamless connection between the house and the surrounding Tuscan landscape. The panoramic portico serves as the heart of outdoor living, equipped with a hammock, table, and chairs, making it the ideal spot for al fresco dining while taking in the breathtaking views of the countryside. The kitchen also provides direct access to the portico, further enhancing the flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. Between the house and the swimming pool, guests will find a large brickwork barbecue, perfect for leisurely evenings under the open sky. The non-heated swimming pool is set approximately 10 metres from the house in a panoramic position and is accessible via 5 terracotta steps descending from the house side, as well as 5 stone steps and a small ramp in lava stone. The pool measures 7 x 10 metres with a constant depth of 1.40 metres and features large entry steps, a sand-coloured PVC lining, and chlorine purification. The pool border is finished in stone, while the surrounding solarium area is paved in terracotta. Sun beds, a sun umbrella, and a cold-water shower are all available for guests' use. The pool is open from the last Saturday of April until the first Saturday of October. Please note that photographs of the property were taken in spring, meaning that flower blossoming and the colours of the garden grass may differ from what you observe upon arrival.
Unit Layout
Le Macine accommodates up to 6 guests across 3 well-appointed bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, distributed over 2 floors of the farmhouse. The main entrance, located beneath the panoramic portico, opens directly into a welcoming living room featuring an imposing fireplace that also functions as a wood stove. To the left of the living room is a spacious kitchen with direct access to the portico. A corridor connecting the kitchen and the living room leads to the sleeping area on the ground floor, which comprises a double bedroom with an ensuite bathroom with shower and a twin bedroom with joinable beds, also featuring an ensuite bathroom with shower. A terracotta staircase rising from the kitchen leads to the first floor, where a further double bedroom is found, complete with an ensuite bathroom with shower and a private panoramic balcony overlooking the surrounding hills and valleys.

Distances and Attractions
Le Macine is ideally positioned between 2 of Tuscany's most celebrated landscapes: the Val d'Orcia, renowned for its iconic crete senesi, or Siennese clays, and home to culturally significant towns such as Pienza and Montalcino, and the Maremma, a vast and unspoilt region extending all the way to the Tyrrhenian Sea. The town of Castel del Piano is just a few kilometres from the property and is a member of the Associations of Wine and Oil Towns, a network of 11 municipalities in the province of Grosseto united by a shared commitment to quality viticulture and gastronomy. The network brings together hotels, farms, restaurants, wine bars, and quality wine cellars, offering guests an exceptional range of local experiences. Castel del Piano is also home to one of the region's most beloved annual events, the Palio of the Four Districts, which celebrates the devotion to the Madonna delle Grazie, a precious gold-background artwork attributed to the 14th-century Sienese painter Sano di Pietro. The Palio is held every year on September 8 and is preceded by a grand allegorical parade representing events that took place between 1330 and 1571, rooted in a legend deeply embedded in local tradition.
