Villa Ca Maggiore, a 4BR Restored 17th-Century Leopoldine Villa near Arezzo

Villa Ca Maggiore has the rare good manners of an old Tuscan house that has been brought back to life carefully. The bones are 17th century and unmistakably Leopoldine, with a square dovecote turret, a portico, and a first-floor loggia that give the villa its proper sense of place. Inside, the renovation keeps the original character in view, then adds elegant furnishings, handcrafted details, and a modern kitchen ready for long breakfasts, market finds, and the occasional very serious argument about who makes the coffee.

Set in the hills of the upper Valdarno, just outside the Chianti zone, the villa looks out over countryside and vineyards with that particular Arezzo light, warm, dusty-gold, and quietly theatrical. Castiglion Fibocchi is only 800 metres away, so restaurants, bars, and a supermarket are close enough for easy walks rather than planned expeditions. Arezzo itself is about 15 km away, making this a graceful base for days among frescoes, piazzas, and antique-stall browsing, with Siena, Florence, the Pratomagno, the balze crags, and the Foreste Casentinesi park all within tempting reach.

The villa sleeps up to 8 guests in 4 bedrooms, with 5 bathrooms, so the house suits a family or a small group that wants space, privacy, and a proper Tuscan address. A useful note: when Villa Ca Maggiore is rented in this 4-bedroom arrangement, no other guests will be present on site.

Key amenities include:

• Wi-Fi internet and satellite TV
• Bluetooth speaker
• Fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, oven, kettle, coffee machine, toaster, and ice maker
• Barbecue for relaxed meals outdoors
• Baby facilities
• Dryer, iron, and hair dryer
• 5 bathrooms for added comfort across the group

It is a villa for travellers who like their Tuscany with history still visible in the walls, but with the practical comforts close at hand. Walk to the borgo, cook in the splendid kitchen, wander toward Arezzo, then come back to the turret and the vineyard views. Simple pleasures, done properly.
