Large Tuscan Villa with Pool
An 18th-century manor villa for sale near Arezzo, Tuscany, situated in a slightly elevated position offering panoramic views and a peaceful setting. Covering 519 square metres (5,584 square feet), the villa features five bedrooms, and three bathrooms, and retains its original charm with historical details. It is currently a private residence but also has potential for use as a small boutique accommodation business, thanks to its location, size and layout.
The villa is set on a 7,500 sqm (1.8-acre) plot of land with a landscaped park, swimming pool, and historic garden. The grounds include approximately 120 olive trees and a unique medieval-inspired “Hortus Conclusus,” an enclosed garden with geometric flower beds, ornamental plants, and an underground rainwater collection tank. The south-facing swimming pool (12 × 4.5 m) is surrounded by olive trees and offers sweeping views of the countryside and the city of Arezzo. A pool house with a changing room is also located nearby.
The villa is arranged across three floors:
- Ground floor: A spacious entrance hall, large living room with fireplace, private study, storage room, bathroom, and a cellar. Two independent rooms are accessible from the outside—a 53-square-meter historic wine cellar and a 27-square-meter orangery.
- First floor: A kitchen with a pantry, dining room, living room with fireplace, library, three bedrooms, and a bathroom.
- Second floor: Another kitchen, living room, two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a storage room.
The villa’s history dates back to the 18th century when it served as a hunting lodge for an Aretine landowning family and over the years prominent historical figures such as a renowned musicologist and a mathematician. The property has been carefully updated over time, preserving its unique character. Standout features include a striking library with wooden bookshelves and a large stone fireplace.
Modern upgrades to parts of the villa include energy-efficient double-glazed windows, photovoltaic panels, and a heat pump, making the property highly energy-efficient. The villa can also be divided into two separate units, offering flexibility for dual-family use or staff housing.
Located within walking distance (less than a kilometre) of a small town for basic services, the villa is less than 20 minutes from the historic city centre of Arezzo. Arezzo’s strategic location provides easy access to Tuscany’s famous cities such as Florence, Siena, and Cortona, as well as charming smaller towns.
Whether used as a primary residence, second home, or vacation rental, this villa combines historical elegance with modern convenience, all in a prime Tuscan setting.
