Villa Bellaria, Lucignano - Arezzo and Cortona

This straightforward, attractive modern villa surrounded by olive groves in the east of Tuscany is a great base for parties of up to 12. Flexible accommodation makes it an excellent choice for groups of family or friends. Five of the six bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms; three are arranged as doubles and three have twins beds, but you can ask for these one double to be set up as a twin and one twin to convert to a double, depending on your needs. The open-plan lounge-kitchen-dining area is large and opens on to a generous covered terrace. Indoors and out here, you have dining tables that can seat a full house - an indication of how easy Villa Bellaria makes it to spend relaxed time together. The garden is simple, sunny and totally private. Your pool, a short distance from the house, is completely fenced - one of the aspects that make this place a good choice for those with children.

With a farmers' market and several restaurants in the pretty medieval town of Lucignano, a short drive or walk away, the villa is well provided for. But the varied delights of Montepulciano, Arezzo, Cortona and Siena all make wonderful days out.

Our Thoughts
The accent here is distinctly relaxed - there is plenty of room for everyone; no one will be fighting over the bathroom; and you'll surely spend a lot of time around the pool and the dining tables. If you have children, it's easy to keep an eye on them from your sunlounger or the shady pergola; there are swings and a slide for younger family members. And, importantly for some, Villa Bellaria is a good option for those with limited mobility: one of the ground-floor bedrooms has an accessible en-suite shower.
