Casa Fantone. Villa with private pool and large fenced park for absolute privacy
Casa Fantone is a typical "Leopoldino" farmhouse with several centuries of history. It is surrounded by 15 hectares of land and has been renovated while maintaining its original style. About 5 hectares of land adjacent to the building have been fenced and turned into a park and garden, guaranteeing true relaxation to forget the frenzy of everyday life. A private swimming pool of 6x12 meters (which uses salt instead of chlorine and is illuminated in the evening) is just a few steps from the house, which is located in a splendid place among the hills, olive groves, vineyards, and cypresses typical of the Tuscan landscape. A few kilometers from the village of Poppi. Florence is about 50 km away, Arezzo 40 km, and Siena about 100 km. Perfect location if you want to unplug. The house, exposed to the sun, is very spacious (300m²) with 60 cm thick stone walls (which keep the house cool) and offers comfortable furnishings, a kitchen equipped with everything you need, modern bathrooms, and spacious rooms. The balcony next to the kitchen, with a breathtaking view of the beautiful and green Casentino valley, is the ideal place to enjoy a glass of Chianti with friends or to have a splendid breakfast. Absolute privacy, no form of pollution, no noise, and absolute security also because access is only through an automatic gate that closes the fence. Ideal for those who wish to rest and enjoy nature. Available: bicycles, splendid hammocks, gym, small soccer field, basketball hoops, ping-pong table, foosball, barbecue, children's games (slide and swings), huge garden where you can pick and taste seasonal fruits (for example apples, pears, tomatoes, walnuts, figs), and a large wood-fired oven for baking numerous pizzas (where for decades at least 20 loaves of bread at a time were baked for the large farming family working on the estate).

A perfect place for a holiday for a familie of 6 adult and 5 children age 1 to 7 years. It was a safe place for the children and å lots of thing to do.
The atmospher of the property is excellent.
Exeland villa for big family. We were 3 children, 5 young adults and grandmother anh grandfather. We all liked Villa Fantone and we found a lot of dirrerent activities during our holidays.
The moment we pulled up to Casa Fontaine, our reaction was "Wow." The amenities were great, the property beautiful and the weather cooperated. We visited the surrounding villages, hiked trails and enjoyed reading by the pool Gianfranco was the ultimate host, so helpful in all aspects of our visit. Thank you.
Beautyful house, beautyful location, great host who speaks very good english.
We had no problems with either arrival or departure.
The nearest grocery store is about 10-15minuts away, which is no problem.
Lovely house set in substantial private grounds in a stunning location
Casa Fantone is an idyllic rural jewel. Although the substantial house is comfortable, the grounds are those of a country house so you are pretty much undisturbed. Not only that, set high on a bank of the Casentino valley, the views are breathtaking, particularly at sunrise with mist over the towns below. The host is charm and kindness personified, coupled with the common sense of someone who has seen it all before - a treat in its own right.
Gianfranco is a superb host, he was waiting for us on arrival and gave us a guided tour of the property to make sure we were familiar with everything. A very kind man who provided a welcome basket of his own Olive oil and local wine. The property is excellent, the location and views superb and everything a group wanting to relax in Tuscany could ask for.
If you want to walk in the area, the village of Quota with an excellently stocked local shop is 1.5 miles away and there are track through the valley to neighbouring villages if you want to go off the beaten track.
The Town of Poppi is about 3.5 miles away and is well worth a visit, great local cafe's and stores in abundance.
Poppi station will provide rail travel to Florence and beyond if you do not want to do too much driving so no excuses not to go and explore Tuscany.
We stayed in this lovely villa for one week in October. It was twelve of us ages between 7 and 70 and everyone had a brilliant time. We wished we spent more time just relaxing in the villa and the garden. The views are fantastic! There was plenty to do in the garden. Our kids have enjoyed using the table tennis, bar football, the football/basketball area and our son loved the swings.
Everything was spotless clean in the house, even all the areas outside were very clean which we don't usually see in the villas.
We loved sitting on the balcony for breakfast and admire the views, we also loved the fireplace.
Gianfranco the owner was very helpful from the time we booked the villa all the way to the end. Nothing was trouble for him. He greeted us on our arrival and was very helpful every day, he organised the mini bus for us to go on the wine tour so our day went very smoothly. Gianfranco brought all the wood for the fireplace for us and also lovely vegetables from his garden.
Two evenings we had Stefania (who was recommended by Gianfranco) cooking dinner for us. The food was delicious and it was plenty left for us to have for lunch and dinner the next day.
We would definitely stay in that villa again if we come to this area.
Thank you Gianfranco,
Svetlana and family
everything was perfect
especially the owner, Gianfranco, war very kind and helpful
for us, it was a perfect stay
we will come back next year

Casa Fantone = Paradise
A lovely house, in a beautiful setting, with a kind considerate and helpful owner, who has created his own Little Paradise. Perfect for all kinds of holiday.
We had a great week in this spacious Villa with a magnificent pool and a stunning view. Making pizza in the outdoor pizza oven was a true success. Thanks to the owner for great hospitality, many good advices on restaurants and other attractions.
The property is very well maintained. It is in a secluded location, so it is quiet and provides ample outdoor space. The owner friendly and accessible. Also, there are plenty of activities, including ping-pong, basketball, soccer, swimming, etc.
We stayed 2 weeks. Week 1 had 5 adults and 2 young children. Week 2 we added 2 more adults. There was plenty for all to do. The views were spectacular. The owner was wonderful and so accommodative. The pool was refreshing and clean. Parking was easy. Stephania came to the villa to give us a cooking lesson, served and cleaned up. Perfect stay. Gratzie Gianfranco!

So great !!!! Ideal for friends or family !
The house and the pool are big and beautiful, and the view is superb ! The area is very quiet because there are no neighbors, so you can rest quietly.
The host is very nice and very attentive, everything is really perfect !
We were ten friends eating on the terrace each evening, making home made pizza, and we did midnight-bath each day ;-)
We went twice in Firenze and once in Arezzo to visit these beautiful cities.
The holidays were so great....
I recommend Casa Fantone that is ideal for holidays with friends or family, so do not hesitate, it is probably the best place to be between Firenze and Arezzo !

Beautiful restored villa in Tuscany with panoramic views
Two families stayed together very comfortably and took advantage of all the villa had to offer including the swimming pool, ping pong table, hammocks, and even the outdoor stone pizza oven!! Come here to unplug your devices and get away from it all. There is plenty to explore close by—we explored the castle in Old Poppi—but it is also close enough to Florence to make a day trip easily. Get passes to the Uffizi and Academia in advance as they sell out!! We also visited towns of Arezzo and Siena from the villa—each about 1 to 1-1/2 hour drive. If you want to just enjoy the villa and skip the day trips, the pool with the view of the valley below is all you need!!
We had so much fun at this charming farmhouse villa! Our host/owner, Gianfranco, was so accommodating, and his response time was quick. He helped us find a driver for some trips that we did around Tuscany. He found us a wonderful chef that came to us twice for real Italian cooking classes. The house was spacious and fit our friends and family well. We brought our grandchildren and Gianfranco provided a crib & highchair. The property was absolutely beautiful & the history of the family is so interesting. We felt immersed in the Poppi culture, and the small shops in town welcomed us with open arms. The weather was a little colder than we expected so we needed layers in the morning and during the night. We made amazing memories and plan to return! Thank you Gianfranco and Poppi!
Me and 5 other friends had a really great time at the house. Gianfranco is an outstanding host. He was there when he could help and gave us the privacy we wanted to at the rest of the time.
The property has a lot of space a really nice view on the mountains and in the valley.
It also offers a lot of activitys. There is a football field, a pool, table tennis, table football, a big kitchen, some fire places, a classic pizza oven build of stones and heated with fire and more.
Nice supermarkets are reachable in 15 minutes by car.
We are a group which can be loud some time. Because the house has no neigbors, we had no problem here.
Gianfranco, thank you again!
This is definitifely a recommandation.

Wonderful vacation!
We spent 2 fantastic weeks in Casa Fantone!
The house was very beautiful in a traditional, classic style. Still very modern and comfortable! All bathrooms were perfectly renovated and beautiful! Everything was in very good condition and it was clean and functional.
The view from the property is stunning, it is better than any photo can show!
The facilities were very good, the pool was great, and we used the table tennis table and the football game a lot!
Mostly we had the dinners at home, using the big bbq grill. We went out to a few local restaurants; Ristorante Torricella and Ristorante Park Hotel in Ponte a Poppi were we had very good pasta and meat.
We also went a couple of times to a pizzeria in Ponte a Poppi. Very good pizza. Do not recall the name, but it was situated just opposite to the Agip station.
We made a few trips to winemakers in the Chianti-district and also to Montalcino. Approx 1,5-2,5 hours by car.
The owner, Gianfranco, and his wife gave us excellent service. Very helpful and kind!
Thank you!

Wir haben eine wundervolle Woche im Haus von Gianfranco verbracht. Das Haus liegt ungefähr zehn Minuten vom kleinen Ort Poppi entfernt und bietet eine traumhafte Aussicht auf die umliegende Hügellandschaft. Es handelt sich um einen alten Gutshof, der rustikal eingerichtet ist. Es fehlte an nichts. Es ist perfekt für einen Urlaub mit Freunden. Gianfranco war sehr nett und hat uns immer wieder Kleinigkeiten wie Wein, Gemüse oder Kräuter aus dem eigenen Garten vor die Haustür gelegt. Er ist ein wirklich netter und großzügiger Gastgeber. Wir würden immer wieder zurückkommen.
Heerlijk huis in de Toscaanse heuvels. Fantastisch uitzicht en lekker zwembad. Contact met de verhuurder is top. Wij hebben enorm genoten. Ik zou dit huis aan iedereen aanbevelen.
Vi var en familie på 7 personer. Bedsteforældre, søn, svigerdatter og tre børnebørn. Stedet levede absolut op til forventningerne. Autentisk og charmerende hus med rigtig god indretning, et fantastisk udendørsområde, lækker pool og imponerende udsigt. Vi nød at lave dejlige måltider, som vi kunne spise med smuk udsigt over bjergene, børnene elskede poolen, og vi tog på ture i omegnen, som byder på idylliske landsbyer og uberørt natur. Arezzo er også et besøg værd. Man skal dog være opmærksom på, at det tager lang tid at køre ad de snoede veje. Ejeren var meget venlig og opmærksom, så vi kan absolut give stedet vores bedste anbefalinger. Det ville dog være rart med flere karklude og viskestykker. Tak til Gianfranco for en super oplevelse.
Entspannte Woche in einem herrlichen ursprünglichen nicht touristischen Gebiet der Toskana. Der Gastgeber hat für alles gesorgt, ist hilfsbereit, und trotzdem zurückhaltend. In 10 Minuten erreicht man auf der Nebenstraße Supermärkte, Restaurants usw..Alles da was man braucht. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder.
Gianfranco ist der aufmerksamste und freundlichste Vermieter, den man sich vorstellen kann. Haus, Grundstück und Lage lassen keine Wünsche offen.Schöner geht's nicht!
Würden jederzeit wiederkommen und haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Die Beschreibung war sehr zutreffend und wir konnten uns jederzeit an Gianfranco wenden.
