Poggio del fattore 7, Bucine - Arezzo

Peaceful, spacious and with a lovely private pool, Poggio del Fattore sits at the end of a private road that winds through olive groves at the edge of the Chianti hills. This is a place where it’s easy to be together without being on top of one another. Two dining tables – one in a bright conservatory with views across a stone terrace to surrounding hills – can seat a full house. Meanwhile, the welcoming kitchen has a table for six, where you’re likely to linger in smaller groups, perhaps over a late breakfast.

A short distance from Bucine, a village with a history stretching back to the Roman era, Poggio del Fattore is well-placed for heading off to explore the wines of the Chianti or the flamboyant cities of Arezzo, Siena and Florence.

Our Thoughts
Above all, Poggio del Fattore has an air that invites relaxation. The cottage, which is all on one floor, albeit with a few steps between some rooms, is a particularly good option for older members of the party or anyone else who might appreciate more personal space. The pool, hidden from the villa beyond the old stone wall that surrounds the property’s central courtyard, is in a beautifully sunny, private position. Its terrace, edged with countryside, is sure to be a favourite place for chilling out.

Notes
4 bedrooms. 4 bathrooms. If you need Bedroom 4 to be arranged as a double, please request this when booking. Bedroom 5 has only a daybed and local restrictions limit the villa to host a maximum of 8 guests, including any children over two years old. A mid-week clean and towel change is included, as is a food hamper on arrival. Pets are welcome and the area immediately around the villa, cottage and courtyard is fenced; however the remainder of the property, including the pool, is not. There is a wood powered oven and a barbecue available for guests.
Parking - uncovered space for 6 cars

Pool
A short distance from the villa, the pool has internal steps to enter the water and a surrounding stone terrace with sunloungers, umbrellas, deckchairs and a bamboo-covered pergola. Pool size: 5m x 12m, 1.5m deep. Open April to October, weather permitting.
