About this property
Villa Farneta is a charming two-bedroom retreat nestled in the rolling Tuscan hills, perfectly positioned for exploring the region’s picturesque villages and countryside. Ideal for 4–6 guests, this inviting former farmhouse feels like a true home away from home, offering spacious rooms, original features, and a warm, authentic atmosphere.
At its heart is a welcoming open-plan living area with a generous corner sofa, feature fireplace and TV, flowing into the well-equipped kitchen and dining space. Here you’ll find modern comforts such as a dishwasher and coffee machine, while a solid-wood dining table sets the scene for relaxed meals. For added flexibility, a cosy attic sitting room—accessed via a spiral staircase—can provide additional sleeping space if needed.
Two serene double bedrooms, each with wrought-iron beds and garden views, share a family bathroom and offer peaceful places to unwind at the end of each day.
Outside, sweeping lawns and a private pool create a tranquil haven surrounded by gorgeous rural scenery. Sun loungers, shaded dining areas and the gazebo make the garden ideal for al-fresco meals, lazy afternoons and taking in the beauty of the Tuscan landscape.
The villa is close to charming villages, scenic hiking routes and historic sites, while day trips to Arezzo and Perugia—both rich in art, history, churches and excellent dining—add even more to explore.
Nestled amidst rolling hills with sweeping views of fields and olive groves, Villa Chiana offers an ideal base for exploring the picturesque Val di Chiana and its charming neighbouring towns. This tranquil corner of central Italy provides a perfect blend of countryside relaxation and cultural discovery.
Just 1km away, the village of Farneta offers traditional eateries and a minimarket—an authentic glimpse into everyday Tuscan life. A short drive brings you to Cortona (11km), one of the region’s most captivating medieval villages. Encircled by ancient walls, Cortona invites visitors to explore historic churches such as the impressive Basilica of Santa Margherita, wander lively piazzas, browse artisan shops and soak up breathtaking valley views from its hilltop cafés.
Outdoor lovers will find ample opportunities for hiking, with trails weaving through rolling hills, scenic valleys and former pilgrim routes. Wine enthusiasts are also well catered for, with renowned vineyards nearby offering tastings and guided tours—Fattoria Cantagallo, just 6km away, is a particularly worthwhile stop.
For enriching day trips, Montepulciano (20km) enchants with its medieval architecture, grand piazzas and world-famous Vino Nobile wines, while Castiglione del Lago (23km) provides a refreshing lakeside escape. With its historic castle, sandy lake beaches and calm waters perfect for paddling, it’s a wonderful destination for families and nature lovers alike.
