Description
Villa Cognaia is a handsome home with a wonderful pool and glorious gardens from which you can marvel at the magnificent views towards Arezzo. This is a great place to stay to explore this captivating part of Tuscany filled with historic villages and cities as well as beautiful landscapes.
Step inside and you’ll feel the immediate warmth and welcome in this elegant home. Beautifully cared for, this villa features ornate furnishings and decadent fabrics alongside modern comfort and touches of contemporary style. Dine under the chandeliers with a picture-book view of Arezzo through the windows and then retire to the beautiful living room whilst kids play with the games in the library upstairs. Each of the five lovely bedrooms are individual in style with air-conditioning and their own private bath or shower room. Whether an extended family occasion or a group of friends coming together, there is ample space in this inviting villa.
Long, lazy days can be spent in the gardens whether relaxing on the sun-loungers by the swimming pool or playing football, badminton, table tennis, exercising on the fitness veranda … the list goes on. Dip into the swimming pool with magical views ahead of you or relax in the jacuzzi tub where you can gaze towards the majestic mountains. The poolside gazebo is also a special place where you can gather with your loved ones, cook pizzas in the wood-burning oven, drink Chianti from the Colli Aretini vineyards and listen to music or just chat on the sofas by the fire as the evening draws to a close.
Despite the rural setting, the historic city of Arezzo is just a 15-minute drive away where you can explore the beautiful lanes and stunning piazzas featured in Robert Begnini’s famous film ‘Life is Beautiful’. You are also surrounded by stunning Tuscan landscapes, enchanting medieval villages and amazing food and wine from this rich and diverse region.
A little further afield, discover the wines of Montepulciano and charming Pienza, a UNESCO World Heritage site with its amazing Renaissance architecture. Siena can also be reached in just over an hour and the incredible cities of Florence and Perugia are just a train ride away.
