Cortona - RIF. S22

Accommodation Type: Bed and Breakfast
Area: Val di Chiana   Position: Countryside
Province : Arezzo  

These elegant and comfortable accommodations near Cortona are recommended for those who want to combine a relaxing holiday with the true lifestyle of a Tuscan family. Located on the hills of Cortona, the first written records of these buildings date back to the second half of the 18th Century when it was a farm producing extra-virgin olive oil, grain and the tobacco for the famous Tuscan cigars. The smaller building, now completely restored, was in fact once used for drying the tobacco leaves. Today, only the external walls and some parts of the interior remain of the original building, due to extensive restoration in the 1970’s.
The Bed & Breakfast consists of three comfortable double bedrooms furnished with antiques, each with private bathroom and a spectacular view over the surrounding medieval castles, villages and countryside. Guests also have full use of shared rooms such as the library, the sitting rooms and the dining room. Outdoors guests can enjoy the swimming pool, the park, the orchard with an amazing view of Cortona and a garden with a panorama drifting from Montepulciano to Sinalunga and Monte San Savino.
The buffet breakfast is very rich. On request dinner can be prepared with traditional Tuscan dishes and guests will all be seated around the same table like traditionally the large Tuscan families used to, and still, do.
These Tuscany vacation rentals are in an ideal location for those wishing to spend a quiet and pleasant vacation in

Loro Ciuffenna - RIF. S19

Accommodation Type: Apartments
Area: Chianti   Position: Medieval village
Province : Arezzo  

These holiday homes in Tuscany are in the hamlet of Poggio di Loro, on the Tuscan Apennines, in the centre of the region, which stretches itself out around a castle and a beautiful church whose origins are lost in the mists of time. Documents of 1247 attest to the existence of the castle which, with its tower still inhabited today, reminds people of the power the village had in those days. Walking down the narrow, curving streets, among the stone houses skilfully chiselled by the stone-cutters, one can’t help remaining pleasantly surprised by the care and love of the few inhabitants of this village, who have succeeded in maintaining its charm and energy, in respect of the past. And so one can encounter old stairways, adorned with plants, pots of herbs and pastel coloured flowers, ancient wrought iron railings and banisters, small windows behind which one can catch a glimpse of the brick and wood beamed ceilings, and doors still with their ancient bolts. At 650 meters over sea level Poggio is entirely surrounded by chestnuts, cypresses, pine and oak trees punctured by clearings that offer unforgettable views of Prato Magno and of the gigantic cross that crowns it. Summer days are celebrated by feasts in outdoor places organized by the local shopkeeper and a group of people who love this wonderful village. In this context a big, old, stone building has been renovated with expert attention to details. These three holiday apartments in Tuscany have been created in r
