Villa Marino, Terranuova Bracciolini - Arezzo and Cortona

Villa Marino is an elegantly appointed holiday home in the heart of the Valdarno. It offers a high level of comfort and style and is ideal for guests who appreciate outdoor living. The property stands in open countryside with far-reaching views of olive groves, vineyards and the impressive Apennine backdrop. Nearby lies Le Balze, one of Tuscany’s most unusual landscapes, which inspired Leonardo da Vinci and appears in the background of the Mona Lisa. Villa Marino is an excellent choice for a relaxing stay with family or friends.

The medieval village of Loro Ciuffenna is only two and a half kilometres away and is considered one of the most beautiful places in Italy. Its Romanesque bridge and the frescoes in the church of Santa Maria Assunta invite visitors to explore the historic centre. A few shops and restaurants can be found in the village. The town of Montevarchi, with larger supermarkets, is about a fifteen minute drive away. From the Montevarchi Terranuova train station, direct trains run to Florence, offering a pleasant way to visit the city. Siena, Arezzo, Cortona, Lake Trasimeno, the Chianti area and the Val d’Orcia provide many opportunities for varied excursions.

The villa  stands in a peaceful setting and is surrounded by a spacious, flat garden with a wide lawn. A loggia with a dining table is located at the back of the cream coloured building. The large pool forms the centre of the garden. At its far end, a stylish terrace under a pergola with comfortable sofas and a well equipped bar invites guests to relax. A barbecue area, a cabana with fitness equipment and a games area with table tennis complete the facilities. In the evening, atmospheric lighting creates a welcoming ambiance.

The three storey property combines traditional elements such as terracotta floors and wooden beams with modern, high quality features. Generous bathrooms and carefully selected materials such as marble and travertine reflect the owner’s professional expertise and create an elegant atmosphere.
