An 18th-century palazzo set within 25+ hectares of terraced parkland on the edge of a small hamlet of near Monterchi in Arezzo province. The villa sits at the heart of one of Tuscany's most culturally significant locations: Monterchi is home to Piero della Francesca's Madonna del Parto, one of the Renaissance's greatest artworks, housed in the dedicated museum.
The grounds are generous: terraced woodland gardens, wide lawns, a private lake for fishing (rare for Italian villa rentals), hot tub with panoramic views, children's play area, pool positioned among cypress trees and flowerbeds. A pergola grows moscatello and canaiolo grapes used for Vin Santo production (the liquorous Tuscan dessert wine). The house itself retains original character – vaulted ceilings, beamed rooms, hand-painted details, antique furnishings. Six bedrooms, all ensuite. Welcome buffet on arrival, Wednesday morning 3-hour cleaning included. Dog-friendly (dogs up to 30kg stay free).
Arezzo, Siena, Cortona, Lake Trasimeno, Perugia and Umbria are all within easy reach. The property's owners live nearby and personally arrange museum bookings, wine tastings, restaurant reservations, and local sightseeing.

Around Villa di Monterchi
Villa di Monterchi is a luxurious Tuscan villa 5 minutes drive from the village of Monterchi, where the Italian Renaissance master Piero della Francesca painted one of his most famous frescoes, “La Madonna del Parto”, in the 14th century, held in the Museum of Monterchi.
The location is also ideal for reaching the cities and towns in Umbria, the shores of Tuscany's 'inland sea' Lake Trasimeno and the splendid Tuscan art cities of Cortona and Arezzo.
One of the 12 most important Etruscan cities, Arezzo remained prominent in Roman times for its fine pottery and important throughout the Middle Ages thanks to powerful bishops and its artisans who excelled in goldsmithing and textiles.
Piero della Francesca, the painter of the pregnant madonna, is perhaps best known for his series of frescoes that capture the city's history, scenes of which are easily imagined in the city's beautiful Piazza Grande. Arezzo hosts both the Saracen Joust in late June and early September as well as monthly Antiquarian Fairs that fill the streets with fascinating pickings.
Excellent access to major motorways and delightful country roads also place the ancient cities of Siena and Florence within easy reach, but what a pleasure to know that a quiet terrace and a hilltop view await your return.
