VILLA DUCESE - AREZZO AREA
Villa Ducese is a splendid example of a typical Tuscan house designed in 1700 by the architects of Grand Duke Leopoldo di Lorena, with characteristic arches superimposed on the façade. The villa is located within a renowned winery. Within a short driving distance, 10 minutes drive, we can reach Arezzo with its many shops, restaurants, Cathedral, etc., while Florence is only an hour and a half away.
On arrival day, guests will have a dinner offered by the owners and a welcome basket for next day’s breakfast. The first floor, thanks to a wooden ramp at the back of the villa, is also accessible for disabled.
The villa develops over two levels, connected via an external staircase.
On the ground floor, we have the entrance via a typical outdoor furnished loggia, a lounge with sofas and TV, large living room with dining area and kitchen. There are three double bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms with shower.
On the first floor, with access from the covered external staircase which can be accessed from the porch or from the wooden bridge on the back of the villa, we find a second living room with sofas, TV and wood burning oven on the panoramic terrace and another large living room with dining area, antique fireplace and kitchen. There are two double bedrooms, both with en-suite bathroom with shower, another double bedroom that is suitable for disabled with en-suite bathroom with shower, also suitable for disabled.
The outside area offers a large and well-kept garden, with a private and fenced swimming pool (12x5m; 1.4m deep; open April 28 to October 6) with panoramic views over the rolling hills and vineyards of the countryside as well as the city of Arezzo that comes to life at night. The pool is equipped with sun lounges and table and chairs with umbrella.
Right next to Villa Ducese, separated by a hedge, there is another smaller villa with private pool that can be rented separately or together. Please enquire for more info.
At 250m from the house, you can find the winery with restaurant. Here, there is a beautiful garden with comfortable outdoor furnishings that offers splendid views over the area, perfect for an al-fresco dining in the evenings. The photos of the armchairs with candles and views belong to the winery.

About the area
Arezzo, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, is a destination that offers a rich tapestry of history, art, and culture. This charming city, less frequented by the tourist crowds that flock to its more famous neighbors, provides an authentic Italian experience steeped in tradition and beauty.
The city's medieval center is a treasure trove of historical architecture, with the Piazza Grande at its heart. This sloping square is surrounded by ancient buildings and is the site of the Giostra del Saracino, a traditional jousting tournament held twice a year that harks back to the Middle Ages. Visitors can feel the pulse of history as they wander through the cobblestone streets and explore landmarks such as the Romanesque-style Arezzo Cathedral and the imposing Medici Fortress.
Art enthusiasts will be drawn to the Basilica of San Francesco, which houses the stunning fresco cycle "The Legend of the True Cross" by Renaissance master Piero della Francesca. This masterpiece of early Renaissance art is considered one of the most significant fresco sequences in the world and is a must-see for any visitor to Arezzo.
Arezzo also boasts a vibrant antiques market, the Fiera Antiquaria, which takes place on the first weekend of every month. It's one of the largest of its kind in Italy, attracting collectors and enthusiasts from across the country. The streets and squares of the old town are filled with stalls selling everything from furniture to vintage jewelry, making it a paradise for treasure hunters.
The city's culinary offerings are equally enticing, with traditional Tuscan cuisine taking center stage. Local specialties such as Chianina beef, pecorino cheese, and the renowned Tuscan wines can be savored in the many restaurants and enotecas that dot the city.
For those looking to explore beyond the city limits, Arezzo's location in the Tuscan countryside makes it an ideal base for visiting the region's vineyards, picturesque hill towns, and the stunning landscapes that have inspired artists for centuries.
In essence, Arezzo is a destination that offers a blend of historical wonders, artistic splendor, and culinary delights, all set within the breathtaking scenery of Tuscany. It's a place where travelers can step back in time, indulge their senses, and experience the very essence of Italy.
