Villa Arancio, Chianti, Tuscany is built on a hill of olive trees and part of a famous vineyard estate, herein lies this large Casa Colonica (farmhouse) between the world famous Chianti Senese, Val d'Orcia and Perugia, surrounded by castles, monasteries - Verna, Camaldoli - and those famous Tuscan hills covered by cypresses. The estate overlooks the Arezzo valley and is located next to a number of medieval villages.
The villa, a large country cottage that can host comfortably eighteen guests plus kids, has retained its original architectural structure: simple, rational, with very large living areas and bedrooms; the bathrooms have been completely restored and all feature a medium-sized bathtub. The simple and comfortable furniture makes it perfect for families traveling with children and for wedding gatherings, together with the protected swimming pool.
The present farmhouse settlement is on the ancient trade route which departed from the Adriatic coast, passed through the valley, climbed over the hills of this area and ended in Arezzo. Along this route, which ends just below the city walls, the watch towers and toll gates are still visible today, demonstrating its strategic value and importance for trade. This valley was under the feudal control of several important families, in fact. The first document proving the existence of vineyards on the property is dated 1416, when the proprietor sold a vineyard to finance the painting of the frescoes in the family Chapel by Piero della Francesca.
