Mike and Rita's Villa (#541)
Characteristic & enchanting Tuscan villa with breathtaking views ... it is like living a dream.
This Villa is a delightful, fully restored stone farmhouse close to Anghiari in Eastern Tuscany. It is set in three acres of charming terraced gardens with a private swimming pool and breathtaking views of Lake Montedoglio and the Upper Tiber Valley. It has been renovated retaining many original features including chestnut beams and terracotta floors. There are several patios and a lovely pergola making it a perfect house for a large group. The Villa is close to a small local village with a supermarket and pizzeria and is just 15 mins from Anghiari, a famous medieval hilltop town with a variety of shops and regular markets. It is also within easy reach of the larger town of San Sepolcro (20 mins). It is located in an interesting area both for its beautiful countryside and also because of its proximity to the birthplace of the world renowned artist, Michelangelo Buonarroti at Caprese Michelangelo (5kms).
The Villa was once home to a large Italian family who cultivated the land around the house. Restoration has brought the villa tastefully back to life, adding a swimming pool and other modern comforts, whilst carefully preserving the original character. Today your family and friends can enjoy our holiday villa in Tuscany. The beautiful surrounding countryside is ideal for walking cycling, horse riding, or exploring the nearby Italian art treasures.
