Ce que vous allez adorer dans ce logement
WE'RE RESTORING THE FARMHOUSE so no availability at the moment. (Stiamo ristrutturando casa!....quindi purtroppo non possiamo accettare ospiti in questo periodo). Also note that we are no longer making the downstairs available for home exchanges, just the upstairs, that is 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a central living room/kitchen with a loggia outside and pizza oven. I've updated the photos and will update the description below when I have time. In addition, I have changed the profile to say that there is a pool and air-conditioning because these features will be available when we make the house available....which is NOT YET! I'm perfectly happy fielding enquires for the autumn of 2025 or later. that is why I leave the listing open to public view, but please understand that there is no availability before that.
This is our farmhouse, right in the middle of the countryside but also only 5 minutes from Arezzo, one of the main towns of Tuscany. So you have complete and utter silence, except for the birds, but you can pop down to a restaurant or the supermarket pretty quickly. The house has its own olive grove of 140 trees. Wild boars and deer are regular visitors around the house. There is a full size wood-fired pizza oven outside on the upstairs loggia, although I would have to explain one or two things if you want to use that. The farmhouse was restored in the 1990s but (unusually) the previous owners did not simply rip out all the old stuff and therefore the house still has a lot of original features which many modernised farmhouses around here have lost. Although I'm assuming that anyone who comes here would bring or hire a car, there is a regular and reliable bus service to Arezzo's centre which has it's terminus in a little parking area 500 metres below the house. If you don't mind the 5 minute walk then it's really convenient because if you know the bus times then you'll always find the bus sitting there waiting for you.

Ce que vous allez adorer dans le quartier
It's 5 minutes to Arezzo, including one of the two biggest supermarkets and in 10 minutes you can drive right to the exact centre of Arezzo (the railway station). Arezzo itself is on the main motorway going down the spine of Italy (the A1) so you can get to Florence in an hour or so and to Rome in a little over two hours by car (fastest train is 75 minutes and is reasonably priced if, and only if, you book well in advance, otherwise rail trip is more like two and a half hours). Siena is about an hour by car, and Pisa (or nearby Lucca) would be about an hour and a half. More locally, right beneath the house in the valley there is one of the most well liked (by locals) pizzerias around Arezzo. It's quite a rustic place but the pizzas and antipasto are really exceptional. It is not only a Pizzeria but also a basic "alimentari" shop so you can buy stuff like milk, bread, prosciutto, mozzarella etc there. By car it's about a minute away and 5 minutes walking if you take the quick route. The house is actually very easy to find: if you set off from the big roundabout in front of Arezzo railway station in the centre then it eventually becomes a very quiet country road but if you keep driving straight then after about 10 minutes you will arrive at Gragnone. Once there you just turn left and after about 600 metres you are at our house. The last third of that is along the house's own gravel drive zigzagging up through the olive grove which you can see in one of the photos. The valley which our house looks onto has some very beautiful farmhouses, not to mention olive groves, cypresses, and vineyards, so very typically Tuscan. However our farmhouse, though only about 500 metres from the valley below is completely secluded and hidden by our trees: we can see down and there are some lovely views but nobody can see us! It's a bit like living in a secret garden.
I'll leave most of the tourist stuff for you to find out but of course Arezzo, like almost all of Tuscany has a lot to see. Piero dell Francesca, Vasari, and Petrarch all came from here and Michelangelo came from a village nearby (they changed the name to Caprese Michelangelo to make sure everyone knows it). Cortona is about half an hour away and can be reached simply by carrying on along the road which runs through Gragnone. I once lived there and I think Cortona is a bit overrated but it's very nice for a day-trip. Anghiari and Sansepolcro are great little towns to visit nearby. I could go on and on but it really depends on what kind of thing you want to see.
Arezzo itself has a lovely historical centre which is a perfectly preserved mix of medieval and renaissance architecture. In spite of what I've read in more than one tourist guide, no it wasn't badly damaged by the Germans during the war: whatever the Germans destroyed it wasn't the old part of Arezzo. By the way, one thing that the Germans did destroy was a railway line which used to run very close to our farmhouse. Imagine my shock when I found a perfectly preserved railway tunnel hidden in a wood about 80 metres from our house. Actually there are two nearby. So the Germans did us a favour really. The route immediately around our house is no longer walkable but some 500 metres further away from the house the route of the old railway line is now a nice long walk used by hikers and mountain bikers.

Le mot de la fin
If you are arriving by car then it would almost certainly be by the A1 motorway. Likewise Arezzo is on the main railway line from northern Italy and down to Rome and Naples so there are very fast trains as well as normal ones depending on how much you want to pay. As for airports, this is a weakness of Tuscany as a whole, I guess because it is so hilly. The most likely points of arrival would be either Rome or Pisa which has the biggest airport in Tuscany. Time-wise Rome and Pisa are really not that much different by car or train. Pisa airport is certainly closer but it's not an enormous difference, especially if travelling by train and of course there is a lot of choice of flights into Rome. The other 2 possibilities are Florence or Perugia airports. Florence airport is very convenient in that you can take a 10 minute tram from the airport to the rail station and then a one hour train ride to Arezzo: the problem is that flights tend to be on the expensive side. Perugia airport is a bit seasonal but in the summer has a lot of ryanair flights which can be very cheap. If you hire a car it would be about an hour from our house. There is a regular direct train service from Perugia to Arezzo and (at least the last time I checked) Ryanair operate a shuttle bus from the airport to Perugia railway station.
