Tuscan Villa In The Style Of A Leopoldina With Garden, Pool And Outbuilding In The Heart Of The Val

Nestled amidst the rolling orchards of the lush Val di Chiana valley, this splendid 18th-century villa in the style of a Leopoldina offers the perfect blend of historic charm and refined living in Tuscany. The villa on three levels has been meticulously restored in 1997 to focus on elegance, light and space — so much so that it has been featured in Elle Decoration and Architectural Digest.

Inside, a harmonious blend of vaulted and beamed ceilings, generous proportions, and warm, earth-toned finishes create a welcoming atmosphere. The ground floor features a grand kitchen that opens onto a spacious dining area, which both naturally flow out to the front and rear terraces perfect for al fresco dining. The latter is complete with a traditional pizza oven. A beautifully appointed Oriental-style living room, an office, a cloakroom, two en-suite bedrooms, staff quarters (composed of a kitchen/living room, bedroom and bathroom) and ample storage complete the ground floor.

The first floor features the villa’s magnificent main reception space: a vast living room with a baronial fireplace and direct access to a rear loggia — one of the property’s most iconic architectural features. Five spacious double bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, and a utility room, extend from this central hub, offering comfort and privacy.

Further stairs lead to the second floor, where two additional bedrooms share a bathroom, making this an ideal retreat for children or visiting guests.

Set within approximately 0.3 ha of beautifully maintained grounds, the property includes a saltwater swimming pool and a charming pool house. A former brick tobacco-drying tower has been partially converted to house a games room, changing facilities and a bathroom, with additional space available for conversion or storage.

Ideally situated in the picturesque Val di Chiana valley in Tuscany, the property is surrounded by fertile orchards bearing apples, pears and peaches, and boasts sweeping views of the surrounding hills of Arezzo, Castiglion Fiorentino and Cortona. This fertile and historic valley, once a vital route during Etruscan and Roman times, is renowned today for its agricultural richness, beautiful Renaissance towns and peaceful countryside. The area offers the perfect balance between rural tranquillity and accessibility.

Just 20 km from the historic city of Arezzo, which is renowned for its medieval architecture, antiques fairs and art treasures, the villa is also close to some of central Italy’s most iconic destinations, including Cortona (34 km), Siena (70 km) and Perugia (75 km). The A1 motorway is within easy reach, providing quick connections to Florence (77 km) and Rome (210 km), while Arezzo’s mainline railway station ensures smooth travel across central Italy. There is a bar and restaurant at 2 km and the nearest town with all amenities is at 4.3 km.
