VILLA LA RASSINATA 12

Toscana - Arezzo - AREZZO

Description:

RECEPTIVE STRUCTURE. Villa La Rassinata is located in the locality of the same name, Santa Maria alla Rassinata, at 730 m above sea level. This splendid residence, dating back to the mid-sixteenth century, has been expertly restored and reflects the charm of modern and old exquisitely blended. It stands on a knoll among the Arezzo hills with a view over a green and relaxing panorama. On each floor the common areas are furnished with objects of modern taste, carefully combined with antique pieces; the living room exhibits a retro-style charm, while the bedrooms travel back through time: the beds are high because in the past ash would be put underneath to keep them warm. All six bedrooms have air conditioning. The outdoor spaces have been realised with low stone walls and the gardens are well-maintained and adorned with hydrangeas, antique roses and aromatic plants. Above the panoramic swimming pool is a terrace with a ping pong table and a small wooden pool house with a minibar where you can leave drinks and snacks to keep cool. This property is the perfect destination for a large family wishing to spend a relaxing stay in a regenerating setting immersed in tranquility. It is the ideal place for long walks and bike rides on the marked paths to admire the splendid surrounding hilly landscapes. The villa is in the town of Santa Maria alla Rassinata, 15 km from Palazzo del Pero (about 18 minutes away), the first town for your daily needs and 9 km from Volterrano, with only for the most basic shops (about 15 minutes away). The caretakers live in the annex adjacent to the villa, with completely independent access, and will not interfere with the use of the park and swimming pool but will remain at the complete disposal of guests.

The large garden belonging to the house is immersed in approximately six hectares of land that make up the entire property. During the summer, the various plants bordering the driveway render it fragrant and colourful thanks to all the antique roses, hydrangeas and aromatic plants. The driveway, unpaved and well maintained, leads to the entrance of the villa with space in front for two cars while another three can park in the dedicated area. The outdoor dining area with gas barbecue is located at the back of the villa, shaded by tall trees and by a pergola with iron structure. Completing the outdoors are two tables and a rocking chair where guests can relax in the cool. The park is completed by the pool area surrounded by green lawn.

TO DO

Location and distances


Villa La Rassinata is immersed in the lush woods of the Arezzo hills, a green area in the Valcerfone on the border between Tuscany and Umbria. The name Rassinata takes us back in time to the Etruscan era and in the past it was also referred to as "Arsinata". Over the centuries, this has always been a border land. A military border in the battles between the Byzantines and the Lombards between the 6th and 7th centuries, a religious border between the dioceses of Arezzo and Città di Castello since the Middle Ages, a political border between the Grand Duchy of Tuscany and the Papal States and, more recently, between Tuscany and Umbria after the institution of the regions in 1970. Of great interest are the hiking, trekking and cycling routes (it is recommended to travel with local guides). The food and wine production of the area, in addition to legumes and cheeses, include excellent honey and extra virgin olive oil.
