Villa rentals, Tuscany. Large, unique property close to Arezzo.
Monterchi is a picturesque Tuscan hilltop town to the east of Arezzo,
close to the border with Umbria, and Il palazzetto is an ancient palace
built right into the fortified walls of the main town
square. The gardens and pool of this fascinating property sit atop a
section of the old
town ramparts - there are magnificent views of the surrounding countryside
from here - and the thick castle walls
provide both privacy and and a cool environment - there is no need for
air conditioning here.
The main building sleeps 8, and a further 10 people may be accommodated
at this property - 4 in an annexe called Duettino and 4 (+2) in an independent
house (with its own garden) called I Merli - the gardens of I Merli and
Il palazzetto are joined via a connecting gateway. Depending upon availability
it may be possible to rent any single or multiple combination of the
three properties.
This is a perfect Tuscan
holiday destination, in the heart of the town but totally private
due to the thick walls of the old castle.
palazzetto is the ideal place for people who would like to experience the elegance
of life in another époque, those who would like to know how it might have felt
to be part of a noble and ancient Tuscan family, and who wish to
be immersed in an environment of culture and refinement.
The
grounds,
accessed from the first floor, contain a furnished garden with a pool
(with Jacuzzi
corner), a gazebo, a barbecue and a dozen of the owner's pet turtles(!).
Guests with children should note that it's a steep drop to the street.
The property has been restored, but a distinguished past has produced
sloping
floors
and cracks
here
and there - these all blend with comfortable furnishings and beautiful
antiques to produce an evocative ambience. Each bedroom has its own bath, and
all
but
one
of
the
bedrooms
has
screens.
Please note that palazzetto is non smoking and is not suitable for children between
the ages of one and eight.
