About this property
Set among vineyards and silvery olive groves, Casa Valdarno sits quietly on a hillside overlooking the wide sweep of the Florentine Valdarno. From the moment you arrive, the pace softens. Terracotta walls glow warmly in the sun, cypress trees frame the view, and the countryside stretches out in gentle layers beyond the garden.
The farmhouse has been carefully renovated in keeping with Tuscan tradition, and its interiors feel both welcoming and grounded in place. Inside, exposed wooden beams and terracotta floors run throughout, lending warmth and continuity to each room. The ground floor centres around a comfortable lounge where an ancient fireplace becomes a natural gathering point, particularly atmospheric on cooler evenings and still functional for grilling. Nearby, the dining room and well-equipped kitchen open the space up for shared meals, long conversations and unhurried mornings. A small double bedroom with its own toilet completes this level.
Upstairs, the sleeping quarters are arranged with families and groups in mind. Twin rooms sit alongside double bedrooms with additional single beds, allowing flexible arrangements without losing a sense of calm or privacy. Bathrooms are practical and well appointed, one with both bath and shower for leisurely evenings after a day exploring.
Outside, life naturally drifts towards the garden. Directly in front of the house, the swimming pool is set within open lawns, offering far-reaching views across the valley. Sun loungers line the poolside, while an outdoor shower and shaded corners make it easy to spend entire days outside. Adjacent to the living area, a dining table and built-in barbecue create a simple but inviting space for summer lunches and evenings spent under the stars.
Casa Valdarno is a place to slow down and reconnect with the rhythms of rural Tuscany, with nature, history and some of the region’s most celebrated towns all within easy reach.
Casa Valdarno enjoys a peaceful setting in the Tuscan countryside near Reggello, an area known for its olive oil production, historic parish churches and walking routes that weave through the hills. The surrounding landscape is defined by vineyards, wooded slopes and long valley views, offering a sense of openness that feels deeply restorative.
Just 3 kilometres away, the town of Reggello provides all essential amenities, including shops, cafés and local restaurants where Tuscan cooking remains closely tied to seasonal produce and regional traditions. The town also acts as a gateway to a number of lesser-known historic sites, including Romanesque churches and small monasteries tucked into the hillsides.
The villa’s location makes it particularly appealing for those who enjoy exploring on foot or by bicycle. Quiet country roads and marked trails lead through olive groves and vineyards, connecting hamlets and viewpoints that feel untouched by time. For walkers, the area offers routes ranging from gentle countryside strolls to more challenging hikes in the nearby Pratomagno massif.
Art and history lovers are equally well placed. Florence lies within easy reach and offers a wealth of museums, architecture and cultural landmarks, making it ideal for a rewarding day trip. Greve in Chianti, with its lively central piazza and wine-focused heritage, provides a taste of Chianti culture, while Arezzo offers a slower, more traditional city experience, famous for its antiques market and medieval streets. Siena, with its dramatic architecture and historic Palio connections, can also be reached for a full day of exploration.
Despite this access to some of Tuscany’s most celebrated destinations, Casa Valdarno remains firmly rooted in its rural surroundings, offering a quiet base from which to experience both the countryside and the region’s artistic heart.
