Podere Capanne is a portion of an old farmhouse set in the hills overlooking the charming medieval village of Rigomagno and much of the wide Chiana Valley. You will find the house in a landscape covered mostly by olive trees, interrupted here and there by small vineyards and lush oak woods. Ancient farmhouses, always in privileged positions, emerge from the vegetation, completing a natural landscape of rare beauty. A delight for your eyes, an enchanting place for your holidays.
You will find the house on the edge of a large olive grove of about 3 hectares, tended like a meadow that, from the top of the hill, with a harmonious succession of natural terraces, slowly slopes down towards a wooded gully.
A few steps from the house and immersed among the olive trees is the completely fenced swimming pool for your exclusive use (size 5x10 m - depth 1.10-1.50 m - open from 01st May to 30th September), a green oasis for your summer days. In front of the house you will have a large fenced-in courtyard equipped with a table and chairs on the nice porch, where you can enjoy grills and good local wine. Deck chairs, sun loungers, table tennis table, barbecue, 2 bicycles and shaded parking space are also available. Your pets are welcome at Podere Capanne.

The former, admired all over the world, will welcome you with its ancient cobbled streets and the majesty of Piazza del Campo, while Arezzo, on the other hand, more reserved and less well-known, will surprise you with a delightful and rich historic centre, typical cafés and excellent trattorias.

Property Summary
Nestled in the rolling hills of the Val di Cecina, in the heart of Tuscany, Guado al Sole is a stunning stone farmhouse vacation rental that embodies the timeless charm of traditional Italian rural architecture. Located within the territory of Sant'Ippolito, in the municipality of Pomarance, Italy, this exceptional property sits at the centre of a naturalistic and scenic area of the highest prestige, surrounded by 500 hectares of woodland bordering the state-owned oasis of Monterufoli. The Metalliferous Hills form the backdrop to this extraordinary retreat, where woods, areas of natural vegetation, and rich biodiversity are crossed by a dense network of streams, and where numerous geysers and fumaroles lend the landscape an exotic and otherworldly character.
Guado al Sole has a long and distinguished history of hospitality, rooted in the traditions of the old family to which it once belonged, who welcomed friends and guests for hunting parties and convivial dinners by the fireplace. Today, the property retains all of its original charm while having been expertly restored to enhance its most distinctive architectural features, including stone arches, finely finished window surrounds, and wooden ceiling beams, all complemented by the addition of modern comforts. The property consists of a main house divided into separate but adjoining units, together with an adjacent annex, making it particularly well suited to large groups of friends or extended families who wish to enjoy both togetherness and independence.
The fully fenced grounds extend across 5,000 square metres and include beautifully landscaped gardens, stone-paved areas, and lawns. A private parking area is conveniently located next to the stone arch that leads to the main entrance, ensuring effortless arrival for all guests.

The park surrounding the property is completely fenced and extends across 5,000 square metres of terrain that is level near the house and descends gently towards the perimeter. The landscape is adorned with bushes, aromatic herbs, hedges, and trees typical of Tuscan vegetation, including holm oaks, oaks, olive trees, and cypresses. Stone-paved areas are embellished with terracotta vases filled with ornamental plants and colourful fragrant flowers, while elegant climbing plants adorn the walls of the main building and the portico of the annex, creating a picturesque and welcoming atmosphere.
The outdoor dining area is set up on a terrace that communicates directly with the indoor living room, offering a seamless transition between inside and outside.
