Property Details

Il Pero is a recently restored stone 'Casa Colonica' farmhouse located in the Val Di Chiana, 10 km south of Arezzo, near the villages of Policiano, Frassineto and Rigutino.

We have two cottages intergrated into the farmhouse for our guests, decorated simply, in sympathy with the origins of the house. Though lacking none of the modern conveniences required to have a trouble free holiday.

Huge gardens surround the house with the swimming pool located at the western end of the house enjoying all day sunshine, fantastic views over the Chiana Valley to the west. There are BBQ facilties near the pool to so no need to move from there even for supper.

We, the owners, live on the property and so are always at hand if you need help or advice about what to do, if you want to anything at all that is!

Local Area Details

Arezzo is one of Tuscany’s best kept secrets. The city itself is nestled into foothills in eastern Tuscany. Arezzo having been founded by the Etruscans is the canter point between the Val Di Chiana, Val D’Arno, The Tiber Valley and Casentino.

Arezzo has played many a great part in rich history of this area for hundreds of years. The city is known for its cold production, its fabric production, art history and architectural history. Well know are the collections of frescoes by Piero Della Francesca, in the church of San Francesco ‘the legend of the True Cross’ can be seen in all its glory.

Tuscany is well know for its wines and here in this area we have some of the finest, with the added possibility of visiting some of the ‘catinas’ in the area and tasting some of these fine wines for yourself.

Restaurants are in abundance were all the gastronomic delights of the local ‘cucina’ can be sampled.

Regular markets in local towns where you can buy fresh produce and create you own mater pieces in the kitchen.

The hills sides all around the area are covered in olive trees (our own included) and some of the best Olive oil comes from this region – ours is pretty good too!

Our property is located in the Val di Chiana just 10 kilometres (6.21 miles) south of Arezzo where the valley starts to show its best. The Val Di Chiana stretches all the way from Arezzo down past Lago Trasemeno to Chusi and Orvietto. On the hill sides that flank the valley you will be delighted by towns such as Civitella, Castiglion Fiorentino, Montecchio, Cortona, Foiano, and Castiglion del Lago.

We are in the perfect position to explore in all directions, the wilds of Casentino, the Crete Sinese and Siena itself. Florence and Chianti, to the north of us, Lucignano, Montepulciano, Orvietto, and Pienza to the south and west. Perugia and the region of Umbria to the south and east.

All of these cities and towns boast historical centres with architecture dating back to the Etruscan times.

All of this and so much more right on our doorstep. But of course you don’t need to leave the door step to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the valley, here in the garden by the pool with the extensive views over the surrounding farmland across the valley to the hills beyond.
