Il Bacio 6, Monte San Savino - Arezzo and Cortona

A stone-built villa arranged over two floors, Il Bacio is set in attractive gardens with wonderful views of the rolling countryside. For a taste of local life, the village of Ciggiana is within walking distance. Or, the walled hilltop town of Cortona and the historic city of Arezzo, with its goldsmithing heritage, promise diverting day trips. Sporty types might also like to arrange to use the owner’s tennis court, a short distance away.

The large private pool is just the place for you all to reconvene later. In fact, if you love outdoor living, this property will be perfect – the main house has a pergola-shaded terrace furnished for al-fresco dining and the huge gardens offer plenty of space for everyone to relax in. So, pull up a lounger and take in the views, with something refreshing in hand. Inside, the décor is traditionally Tuscan, with terracotta floors and wood-beamed ceilings, complemented by comfortable furnishings throughout – a place to hunker down on those chillier evenings.

Our Thoughts
We think this is a great property for mixed groups of friends or family. But whatever the make-up of the party, you will enjoy the indulgence of the outdoor space and the comfortably furnished pool area, as well as a choice of shady terraces. 

Notes
4 bedrooms. 2 bathrooms. The owner provides a free welcome buffet for guests on arrival. The bedrooms and bathroom on the first floor of the main house have steep, sloping ceilings. The owner and two family members live in one side of the main house, with a private entrance. They do not use the swimming pool when there are guests staying. There is a cat that lives on site. The property is not fenced and so not pet secure, but small- and medium-sized pets are welcome, for an additional charge. Air-conditioning is available in all the bedrooms for a weekly charge, enquire with your agent when booking.
Parking - 3 spaces, on site.

Pool
The large swimming pool is close to the main house and the cottage and is surrounded by a paved sundeck and lawn. The water is accessed via Roman steps. There are plenty of sun loungers and parasols around the pool, as well as a furnished gazebo and shower.
Pool size: 6m x 12m, 1.3m to 1.9m deep. Open from May to September, weather permitting.
