Country estate with a large garden, pool and an ongoing art exhibition – ideal for a cultural holiday in the countryside


The country estate is situated in Pian di Scò (province of Arezzo), a town in the hills, on an enchanting rise, 405m above sea level.

The ancient Tuscan country estate, whose oldest part dates from the 18th century, was restored in 2010 and offers a unique view of the Valdarno, with unforgettable sunsets and beautiful panoramas. The estate consists of three buildings: the manor house, the guest house and a small adjacent building. A part of the manor house is inhabited by the owner, while the second part (with its own separate entrance) and the small adjacent building are used as a Bed & Breakfast. The Bed & Breakfast has two bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, and a third bedroom with a bathroom in the adjacent building. The dining hall with a professional kitchen is situated on the ground floor of the manor house, where breakfast (for the B&B) and also, upon request, dinner is served. The guesthouse consists of an accommodation unit and is fully available to guests. All rooms are furnished with antique furniture and lovingly decorated to create a welcoming and warm atmosphere. The bedrooms are cosy and comfortable. From the windows, you can enjoy a wonderful panoramic view. Guests of the country estate may use the house owner’s washing machine if required, as none of the accommodation units are equipped with a washing machine.

The large garden (10000m²) with a panoramic pool and the barn floor in front of the houses is available to the guests for quiet, relaxing moments, for reading good books, and for sunbathing. There is a hammock in the garden in front of the pool, and near to the pool is an outdoor shower. An oasis of peace that is broken only by the crowing of roosters and the barking of the dogs in the neighbouring farms.

Indoors, you can sample the traditional Tuscan cuisine, simple and healthy dishes which are happily and lovingly prepared by the house owner for her guests. Numerous artists display their works permanently on the estate: pictures and bronze sculptures are placed in an ambience where the love of art and nature is in the foreground.

The estate is located between the cities of Arezzo and Florence, which are between 35 and 40 km away, and the city of Siena that can be reached by car in an hour. Pian di Scò is about 1.5 km away and offers the most important services such as shops, restaurant, bus stop and launderette. If you take a walk along the paths around the estate that lead into the surrounding woods and hills, you can come across squirrels, various kinds of birds and streams of spring water, which form small lakes here and there. The fragrances of nature, of the plants and of the numerous fruits are noticeable everywhere. The Chianti region is very close. The village overlooks the upper Valdarno and the most important towns of the area, such as San Giovanni Valdarno, Montevarchi and Reggello.

The 120m² guest house is located next to the main house and is divided into two floors. On the ground floor is the entrance hall - sitting room with a double sofa bed. From here you enter the bright and elegant living room with a fireplace and the bedroom with a double bed with direct access to the yard and the vantage point (approx. 30m from the pool). On the first floor is the kitchen with access to the veranda and garden (the building is on two different levels following the terracing of the surrounding land). In addition, there are two double bedrooms, each with en suite bathroom.

Outside on the north side, there is a covered and furnished veranda for exclusive use. In addition, guests of the house have a barbecue at their disposal.
