Sant'Angelo Relais, Soci - Bibbiena - Arezzo

Set on a working farm near Bibbiena, Sant'Angelo Relais is a delightful property located in exquisite grounds. Comprising four buildings, divided into two large apartments, two smaller annexes and a communal living area, this is a good choice for a large group of either extended family or friends, sleeping up to 19 guests. Despite being such a large property, the stone fireplaces, Tuscan terracotta floors and beamed-and-tiled ceilings ensure that Sant'Angelo Relais is far from merely functional. Indeed, its open-plan design lends a wonderful sense of space.

Nestled in the perfectly manicured lawn is a large pool with terracotta sun deck, dotted with sun-beds. The garden has plenty of space for children to play and guests to relax.

The main villa is divided into two self contained apartments, one on either floor. The ground floor apartment is entered from a furnished terrace into a large, bright, open plan living room. To one side there is a kitchen unit with gas hobs, oven, fridge and dishwasher. In the middle of the room there is a wooden table seating 8. On the other side of the room huddled around a stone fireplace there are a couple of armchairs and a comfortable sofa.

Of the living area there is a triple bedroom, with a double iron bed and a single bed. A wood and glass door provides access to the garden. There is an en-suite bathroom with shower. The double bed cannot be made into twins.

One of the bedrooms has an en-suite bathroom with shower, while the other has a private bathroom with shower next to it off the small hall.
