A unique experience is available for those who want to savour Italy like never before: living with loved ones and friends in a small medieval village, in the intimate, renovated houses that compose it and together in the theatre, in the dining room, in the living room and cinema rooms and, above all, in the courtyard and the swimming pool, surrounded by the unique Tuscany nature that surrounds Florence, Arezzo, Siena, Cortona and nearby Umbria. Born as a pilgrimage retreat in the XV century, this hamlet has been restored by its owner, an eminent architecture professor, embracing the entire environment, having the outside as an integral part of its cultural and historical heritage. The estate comprises a central common area with the rooms spread in different homes around the main square, a structure that reproduces life in Tuscany as it was in the nineteenth century, a place where everyone has their
privacy, but all social activities are shared, where endless walks are available for those who love nature walks. The home design results in a unique classic yet modern style with original handmade terracotta floors and wood-beamed ceilings.

Elements of classic Italian residential architecture are combined wit contemporary touches: LED lights set in antique, original lamp holders, the steel kitchens in industrial style, the design of the bathrooms and the library, customised, inspired by the kind of big cities. Materials used include travertine marble, serena stone, and wood locally sourced. New-fashioned, yet very
comfortable, this is a contemporary retreat with an elegant aura and a welcoming vibe, blending traditional and modern Italian architecture, with a powerful eco-friendly accent.

TIMESHEET

• It is important that the timesheet is signed upon check-out as well, as this allows the local team to ensure that all services have been provided as agreed and that the
property has been left in the same condition as it was upon arrival. Failing to sign the timesheet means relinquishing the opportunity to contest the provision of services or
report any damages that may have occurred during the stay. If the timesheet is not signed, the supply of any further services may be stopped unless authorized by the

maintained for the comfort and enjoyment of all guests, both present and future.
