Villa Marino is an elegantly appointed holiday home in the heart of the
Valdarno. It offers a high level of comfort and style and is ideal for
guests who appreciate outdoor living. The property stands in open
countryside with far-reaching views of olive groves, vineyards and the
impressive Apennine backdrop. Nearby lies Le Balze, one of Tuscany’s
most unusual landscapes, which inspired Leonardo da Vinci and appears
in the background of the Mona Lisa. Villa Marino is an excellent choice
for a relaxing stay with family or friends.
The medieval village of Loro Ciuffenna is only two and a half
kilometres away and is considered one of the most beautiful places in
Italy. Its Romanesque bridge and the frescoes in the church of Santa
Maria Assunta invite visitors to explore the historic centre. A few
shops and restaurants can be found in the village. The town of
Montevarchi, with larger supermarkets, is about a fifteen minute drive
away. From the Montevarchi Terranuova train station, direct trains run
to Florence, offering a pleasant way to visit the city. Siena, Arezzo,
Cortona, Lake Trasimeno, the Chianti area and the Val d’Orcia provide
many opportunities for varied excursions.
The villa stands in a peaceful setting and is surrounded by a
spacious, flat garden with a wide lawn. A loggia with a dining table is
located at the back of the cream coloured building. The large pool
forms the centre of the garden. At its far end, a stylish terrace under
a pergola with comfortable sofas and a well equipped bar invites guests
to relax. A barbecue area, a cabana with fitness equipment and a games
area with table tennis complete the facilities. In the evening,
atmospheric lighting creates a welcoming ambiance.
The three storey property combines traditional elements such as
terracotta floors and wooden beams with modern, high quality features.
Generous bathrooms and carefully selected materials such as marble and
travertine reflect the owner’s professional expertise and create an
elegant atmosphere.
