Forza Arezzo

Forza Arezzo: Tuscany

You’ll find this arresting home in the hills above Arezzo, boasting views of the Tuscan valley beneath it, as well as beautiful gardens. Set over several buildings, this large home includes a main farmhouse, two apartments, and an annexe. It’s ideal for large families or groups who want to spend a holiday together but still like a little privacy. The home has been designed to showcase the historic virtues of these ancient buildings – we were first taken by the classic stone walls and their attractive sage green shutters. Inside is a symphony of elegance. Neutral tones and natural textiles offset the original stone walls perfectly, while distressed wooden beams give the home a much softer, cosier atmosphere than you might first expect from its size. The main kitchen looks as though it was designed with professional chefs in mind, while in the two separate apartments, you’ll find smaller kitchens that pay homage to their humble farmhouse beginnings while still looking effortlessly chic – think Aga-style ovens, glass fronted cabinets, and vintage dining tables. The bedrooms ooze relaxation, with modern furniture, gauzy textiles, and clever lighting making for a boutique hotel experience. And that’s before we even get to this home’s outdoor areas. Covering several hectares, the gardens back onto a wood where guests can roam and play, while back in the garden you’ll not only find a children’s playground, ping pong table, and hot tub, but a Roman-style pool surrounded by sun loungers, a glorious view of the countryside below, and even a diving board.
