Fenice is a traditional Tuscan villa set among rolling hills, olive groves and beautiful open countryside, offering space, privacy and wonderful panoramic views. With four separate bedrooms and three bathrooms, all with showers and two also featuring bathtubs, it is an excellent choice for families or groups of friends looking for a relaxing Tuscan holiday.
The villa sits within extensive private grounds and features a particularly large swimming pool measuring 12m x 5.5m, with both shallow and deep ends. The spacious gardens are ideal for enjoying long summer days, with a covered BBQ and outdoor dining area, wide lawns, a children's play area, table tennis and a hammock for relaxing in the shade.
Inside, Fenice is welcoming and comfortable, with generous living spaces, a fully equipped kitchen and plenty of room for everyone to relax together. The four spacious bedrooms are arranged over two floors, with two bedrooms on each floor, making the villa particularly suitable for two families sharing.
The largest double bedroom can accommodate two additional full-sized single beds, suitable for adults or children. This flexible arrangement is particularly appealing to families whose children would enjoy sharing a room together, while still offering comfortable accommodation for larger groups.
All bedrooms have air conditioning for comfortable sleeping during the warmer summer months. There are three bathrooms, each with a shower, while two also have bathtubs - particularly convenient for families with younger children.
Despite its peaceful countryside setting, Fenice has the unusual advantage of a local pizzeria and small shop just 100 metres away, both within easy walking distance. A wider choice of restaurants, shops and amenities can be found within a short drive.
The villa is ideally positioned for exploring this beautiful part of Tuscany, including Castiglion Fiorentino, Cortona, Arezzo and the Valdichiana. A local train station, just 10 minutes away by car, also offers a convenient option for day trips without having to drive into the cities.
With its spacious grounds, generous pool, family-friendly facilities and beautiful rural setting, Fenice offers a wonderful combination of relaxation and the opportunity to discover authentic Tuscany.
