Description
Part of historic San Veriano has been sitting peacefully in its rural setting overlooking the Tiber valley and the Tuscan hills for many hundreds of years. Originally just an early 17th-century look-out tower, the stone villa was then added at a later date. A recent restoration of both has created an enchanting place to call home during your holiday in this beautiful part of Tuscany.
Many features of a traditional Tuscan country house have been retained throughout the spacious interiors. Wood-beamed ceilings, terracotta-tiled floors and some original wood doors create a sense of walking through history as you enjoy each of San Veriano's characterful spaces.
The five bedrooms are most typical of Tuscan style, with wrought iron beds and simple, antique furnishings allowing the heritage of the villa to take centre stage. One of the bedrooms is located in the tower, so it's especially ideal as a romantic retreat. There's also a terrace offering unspoilt views over the lush countryside.
Both the villa and tower annexe have welcoming living spaces for relaxing, socialising and simply soaking up a sense of the past. The villa's lounge is an incredibly cosy place to unwind, with comfortable seating to sink back into and an impressive fireplace.
The abundance of wood and stone used throughout San Veriano reflects the natural beauty of its immediate surroundings. This starts with the charming Mediterranean garden that's bursting with olive, peach and plum trees, as well as many bright and beautifully-scented plants and flowers.
Walking through your very own idyllic slice of the Tuscan countryside opens up panoramic views of the wider landscapes. The hill and valley views are simply spectacular from the private swimming pool and Jacuzzi. Evening meals under the pretty dining pergola feel like very special occasions.
Enjoy long walks through the oak woods that surround the villa, with the chance to see all kinds of flora and fauna. Cycling is a great way to explore the countryside in the area and is sure to give you some amazing views along the way.
10 minutes away by car is the charming village of Monterchi, with its restaurants, shops and places of interest. Other fascinating places within easy reach are the historic cities of Arezzo and Città di Castello.
Just over an hour's drive away is Montepulciano where you can enjoy some local wine tasting. Also take a day trip to Lake Trasimeno Regional Park and enjoy its huge lake and bird watching opportunities. /n Security deposit /n €500 paid in cash to the owner upon arrival and refunded upon departure, subject to full inspection. /n Arrival time /n 4.00 p.m. - 7.00 p.m. Check-in outside this time may be subject to an extra cost.
