Poggio del Gallo 10, Antria - Arezzo - Arezzo and Cortona

This spacious contemporary villa within easy reach of Arezzo commands top marks from its visitors, as well as stunning views across a wide valley. Cleverly configured to offer three suites, each on a different floor – ground, first and second – with their own kitchen and a living area, Poggio del Gallo provides the best of both worlds. It has everything that larger groups of 10 to 12 will want to share the joys of Tuscany in style, while simultaneously ensuring guests can opt for independence and privacy when the mood takes them. An internal staircase connects all three suites and the ground floor has generous living and dining areas, as well as a kitchen equipped for cooking up meals for the whole party.

But the accent is firmly on the outdoors here. The villa’s sun-soaked private pool, edged by an olive grove, is lovely; and where else will you find a specially constructed outhouse with a stone barbecue, wood-fired pizza oven and electric oven to boot? Enjoy your al fresco meals together at the terrace with table and chairs next to the villa. When you’re not chilling out at home, Cortona, Florence and Siena, are all within striking distance.

Our Thoughts
Few properties can offer the blend of shared and private space that Poggio del Gallo does. It’s little wonder that this beautifully maintained villa has been so strongly appreciated. You will want to spend a lot of time here, lazing by the pool and letting your eyes stretch to the horizon, so it’s great that it’s so easy to hop into nearby Arezzo, a fascinating city with more than 2,000 years of history. When you head out for longer sightseeing trips, you’ll still return to a spectacular view from the villa – the glittering valley and star-lit sky is as good at night as its daytime equivalent.
