Il Bel Laghetto, Castiglion Fiorentino - Arezzo and Cortona

This homely choice for a large party, cradled by vineyards close to Arezzo, has the look of a rustic Tuscan farmhouse and the feel of a country villa. A balance has been struck between space and cosiness, with rooms harmoniously decorated in pretty pastels and splashes of bold colour and comfortably furnished. Split into two apartments, the villa offers dwellers of each plenty of places to relax in its airy rooms, and every bedroom has been allocated a bathroom, so no need for squabbles.

During the sunny months, the focus is likely to be on this villa’s outdoor assets. There is a large communal terrace by the house, which spills out onto a generous lawn where you’ll find a table tennis table, the private pool, with diving board. Here, the sundeck beckons, while a well-equipped cooking area with a barbecue and pizza oven will compel you to make meals to enjoy al fresco. And beyond its gates, there is golf and tennis nearby for active guests, and Arezzo, Cortona, and Montepulciano for the culturally minded to explore.
