Villa Cicogna 10
Historic palazzo at the edge of a Tuscan village : Cicogna, near Arezzo
Nice little touches
- There's a delight in the sheer scale of the place - enormous buttressed walls, stone-flagged floors, and unusually tall bedroom windows that frame the valley views. It's an authentic palazzo that hasn't been over-renovated, which gives it real character.
Villa Cicogna stands at the end of a ridge-top village near Arezzo, a former wine estate palazzo with commanding views over the Valdarnese hills. The house is built on an impressive scale - massive buttressed walls support a vast paved terrace above ancient wine cellars, while tall windows flood the upstairs living spaces with light.
The layout follows the traditional piano nobile design: all living space is on the first floor, with five large bedrooms, an airy living room, and a simple kitchen opening onto long views of cypress-dotted valleys. Downstairs, a stone-flagged games room leads directly to the terrace. Outside, the terrace is the heart of the house - a generous paved space with a 5-metre pool, gazebo for outdoor dining, and a barbecue. In the evenings, the remote location delivers exceptional dark skies.
The village has a shop and restaurant within walking distance. Arezzo is 30 minutes by car, Florence and Siena an hour. For car-free exploring, Montevarchi station is 15 minutes away with direct trains to Florence.
Villa Cicogna is listed under the following categories:
Accommodation
Enter through double doors into a tall entrance hall. To the left, the games room opens onto the terrace and pool.
Upstairs, the kitchen is functional rather than fancy - perfect for holiday cooking with an oven, fridge, and coffee maker. The living room has comfortable seating, WiFi, and a flatscreen TV.
Five bedrooms run along a corridor - one twin, three kings, and one super king - with three bathrooms serving the floor. A fourth bathroom with washing machine sits on the half-landing.
Every room looks out over the valley.
On the large terrace there is a pool, a gazebo with table and chairs for outdoor dining, and a barbecue. Underneath the terrace tie the vast winemaking cellars, now no longer in use but once the engine of this important home and its estate; you may ask the owners if you'd like to see the cellars, but they're not normally open to visitors.
