Arezzo Luxury Villa for Sale with Pool, Olive Grove and Panoramic Views

Villa Anastasio is a restored Arezzo luxury villa on a panoramic hillside, just 3 km from Arezzo’s historic centre in Tuscany. Originally the lemon house (limonaia) of an aristocratic estate, the property has been converted into a five-bedroom private residence combining traditional Tuscan architecture with contemporary interiors, advanced home automation and energy-efficient technology.

The villa provides 371 m² (3,992 sq ft) of accommodation within 2.8 hectares (7 acres) of fully fenced private grounds. The estate includes landscaped gardens, approximately 160 olive trees, a large saltwater swimming pool, outdoor entertaining areas and a private garage. From the house, terraces, and pool, enjoy uninterrupted views across Arezzo’s historic skyline and the surrounding Tuscan countryside.

Access is via a paved, cypress-lined driveway, with everyday services about 2 km away and Arezzo’s town centre about a 10-minute drive away.

A Restored Historic Lemon House with Contemporary Interiors

Villa Anastasio was created by joining two buildings that originally served as the lemon house of a neighbouring aristocratic property. The restoration retains architectural elements associated with traditional Tuscan country residences while introducing high-quality materials, modern fittings and advanced domestic technology.

The ground floor is arranged around three principal reception rooms, connected in sequence and opening through tall metal-and-glass French windows onto the panoramic terrace.

The main reception lounge and library have a decorative stone fireplace, bespoke wallpaper and views across the valley. An adjoining formal dining room connects to a fully equipped Gaggenau kitchen with integrated appliances, a Quooker tap and an extra-large South African braai grill.

Behind the kitchen are a pantry, laundry room and private office, providing practical space separate from the principal living and entertaining areas.

Throughout the villa, parquet and traditional terracotta flooring are combined with decorative wall finishes and extensive glazing. The restoration balances the building’s original character with the requirements of a modern luxury residence in Tuscany.

Five Bedrooms with Separate Guest Accommodation

The villa has five bedrooms and five bathrooms, with provision for a sixth bathroom. The sleeping accommodation is arranged across three sections of the house, allowing family members and guests to occupy relatively independent areas.

A staircase from the main reception lounge leads to the principal bedroom suite, which has a private bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. Two additional bedrooms share a bathroom within this part of the house.

A separate staircase from the office leads to a guest bedroom with its own bathroom.

Another staircase connects the wellness area to a second independent guest suite. This arrangement gives the property considerable flexibility as a family residence, particularly for owners who regularly accommodate visiting relatives or friends.

The private wellness area includes a Sunlighten sauna and bathroom, providing dedicated space for relaxation and personal wellbeing.
Saltwater Swimming Pool and Outdoor Entertaining Areas
Below the villa is a substantial 20 × 10 m saltwater swimming pool positioned to overlook the medieval skyline of Arezzo.

The pool operates with automatic water-quality control and is surrounded by an extensive terracotta terrace with three shaded gazebos.

An outdoor Fogher kitchen includes a refrigerator, ceramic hob, and large grill, allowing you to prepare and serve meals beside the pool. An adjoining changing room has its own bathroom.

Beneath the pool terrace, a covered portico extends along two sides, providing additional shaded space suitable for outdoor dining and relaxation during the warmer months.

In front of the villa, a gravel courtyard contains an iron gazebo with dining space for twelve people and views across the valley.

The combination of indoor reception rooms, panoramic terraces and extensive poolside facilities makes Villa Anastasio particularly suitable for buyers seeking a luxury Tuscan home with extensive outdoor entertaining space.

Landscaped Gardens, Olive Grove and Private Grounds

The property occupies approximately 2.8 hectares (7 acres) of fully enclosed land, including mature gardens, lawns, olive trees and cultivated areas.

Around 160 established olive trees occupy part of the hillside, while lemon and orange trees continue the property’s historic association with citrus cultivation. Raised vegetable beds provide space for growing seasonal produce.

The landscaped gardens have an automated irrigation system that can be controlled remotely through Wi-Fi.

A cypress-lined entrance driveway leads to a paved parking area behind the villa with space for five vehicles. A separate 60 m² private garage provides additional covered parking and storage.

The extensive grounds offer privacy while remaining close to the facilities and cultural attractions of Arezzo.

Energy-Efficient Technology and Home Automation

Despite its historic origins, Villa Anastasio features modern systems designed for comfortable year-round living.

The property operates entirely on electricity, with a photovoltaic solar installation and heat pump supporting the underfloor heating system. Air conditioning provides additional temperature control throughout the home.

Lighting, heating, security and selected kitchen appliances can be managed remotely via Wi-Fi through the integrated home automation system.

A private well supplies water, while Starlink internet provides connectivity at speeds of 400 Mbps.

These installations make the villa especially relevant to international purchasers seeking a restored Tuscan property with modern energy systems, remote-working capability and reliable digital connectivity.
