Villa la Maestà

Villa la Maestà is an exceptional holiday home dating from the early 17th century, set within extensive, park like gardens. It is ideal for a holiday with family or friends and provides a wonderful setting for celebrating special occasions such as birthdays or anniversaries. Behind the historic stone façade, guests will find a delightful surprise, a fully equipped private cinema room with red cinema seats and a bar, perfect for relaxed movie nights together. The centre of Pergine Valdarno is just 500 m away and offers a bar/ gelateria and a small grocery shop as well as a restaurant. Pieve a Presciano is only a short drive away and has further dining options, including the highly regarded Osteria dei Vinaioli. Levane, with shops and a supermarket, lies 9 km away. Arezzo can be reached in around 30 minutes, while Cortona, Lake Trasimeno, Siena and Montepulciano are all excellent destinations for day trips. Set in peaceful countryside, the villa is surrounded by five hectares of private land. Mature gardens with olive groves, lawns and flowering shrubs create a harmonious setting. A charming courtyard, accessed from the living and dining area, offers a shaded dining space beneath wisteria and is beautifully lit in the evening. The large swimming pool on a lower garden terrace, together with the hot tub, creates an inviting place to relax on warm days. Inside, the two storey house has been carefully restored, preserving original features such as impressive fireplaces, terracotta floors and handmade tiles. Traditional furnishings with antique and vintage pieces create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The bedrooms are individually designed in calm colours, including one fully accessible bedroom with en suite bathroom. The friendly owner has written a charming book, A Life in Tuscany: Memoirs of a Tuscan Family, in which she recounts her family‘s life over three generations and shares family and regional recipes.
