Poggio Lungo, Pergine Valdarno - Arezzo

Poggio Lungo is a large and stylish villa that will work well for a special occasion or anniversary spent with a wide group of family and friends. This delightful two-storey stone property, between Arezzo, Siena and the Chianti, comes with a small cottage for extra flexibility. Classic traditional touches abound and you are sure to be charmed not just by the terracotta-tiled floors and traditional wooden beams on the ceilings but the imposing lounge spanned by a dramatic arch, where a decorative fireplace holds centrestage. Elsewhere, antique furnishings and original stone walls add that extra rustic touch.

A barbecue makes the covered terrace the ideal spot for outdoor dining, and the Rattan armchairs offer another light touch. Explore the garden and spacious lawns and you will soon come across the sparkling private pool, where two pergolas provide shade from the sun. Aside from venturing out to the nearby towns, your party can make use of the villa's mountain bikes, or simply play ping-pong in the garden.

Our Thoughts
Poggio Lungo's size, especially its large lounge and substantial grounds, provide plenty of opportunities for your group to socialise or seek out a quiet corner. We think you'll particularly value the cottage if your party includes a family that would appreciate a little separation. The villa has many stylish touches to spoil your adult guests, while kids will love the swings and slide in the garden.

Notes
Nine bedrooms. Seven bathrooms, two en-suite. The first-floor windows have mosquito screens. Although pets are allowed, the fencing is not completely secure.

Pool       
Internal Roman steps lead into the salt-cleansed pool, which is surrounded by a paved terrace, leading to lawn. Nearby, there are two pergolas, one furnished with a table and chairs and one with a garden sofa and chairs. To one side of the deck is an outdoor shower. Pool size: 7 x 14m, 1.22-3m deep, open April to October, weather permitting.
