Photos and Description of this Monterchi holiday farmhouse 3 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, sleeps 6

La Cantina is 500 metres above sea level, off the main Arezzo to Monterchi road, in the hills overlooking the Valtiberina. The farmhouse, with easy access from this main road, is of stone with terracotta, typical of old Tuscan farm buildings. Beside its veranda is the 12 metre swimming pool, built into a stone paved terrace on the lower level, with an arched enclosure providing summer shade. A fence encloses the house and pool with gates providing access to the property's private woods and fields with fruit and olive trees. There is one neighbour 100m up the road, other more distant properties add interest to the panorama! The area is known for wild mushrooms such as porcini and truffles, and abounds with wild flowers including orchids, fauna and birds. Inside, the wooden fireplace and high beamed ceiling of the sitting room preserve the period setting, with the convenience of a separate modern kitchen and modern bathrooms. Natural, simple decor with white walls add to the atmosphere

Repeat bookings say it all.

A family who stayed at La Cantina in 2005, returned for their holiday in 2006.
This year we will be receiving a family who were with us in 2004, and have had requests this year from 3 of the 7 families who were with us in 2006.
Further detailed comments will be forwarded on request to maintain confidentiality

A little slice of heaven

Dubai_Mum Dubai, UAE
Review Submitted: July 9, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
The house and its grounds are beautiful with picture-perfect views from every window. We stayed there for two weeks, summer 2009, with our young children. The children enjoyed the crystal clear pool and walking in the woods surrounding the house.
Arezzo provence is lovely with something beautiful to see every day and not too far away. Florence, Siena and Pisa are all within easy driving distance.
The owners are very helpful both while organising the trip and with anything needed while you're there.
The house was very clean, well-maintained, well-equipped and located near a village that has shops covering all of the basics.
We've already recommended the property to friends and we'd stay there again in a heartbeat if we had the opportunity to visit Italy again.

Review Submitted: October 1, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
Lovely villa very well equipped with lovely views and well placed for exploring both Tuscany, Northern Umbria and the Marche. It was quiet without being remote and suited both younger people wanting a pool and art lovers.

well situated villa

Friend of la cantina Baden Württemberg
Review Submitted: September 10, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
In august 2009 we spend 3 wonderful weeks in la Cantina. The very nice and clean house, the top service and support, the wonderful situated big pool was realy a dream. La Cantina is a part of paradise. Every day we were amazed about the wonderful landscap sourrounding the vila.
The most part of time we spend on the terrace and in the pool. It is a top place to recover.
The area is challenging for riding sportly with the bycicle. There are good preconditions riding over passes and also little roads.
We could breath italy atmosphere. Fresh fruits, buyed in the next village, delicious tuscany vine, lively little towns with charme and original piadinas.
We can really recommend the house to our friends
