About this property
Spacious Tuscan Villa with Large Pool near Castiglion Fiorentino.
Fenice is a traditional Tuscan villa set among rolling hills, olive groves and open countryside, offering space, privacy and beautiful panoramic views. It is ideally placed for exploring Tuscany by car or train, while still enjoying a peaceful rural setting, with a local pizzeria and small shop within walking distance. 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms sleeping 8 + 2
The villa sits within extensive private grounds and features a large swimming pool measuring 12m x 5.5m, with both shallow and deep ends, suitable for adults and children alike. The outdoor areas are designed for easy holiday living and include a covered BBQ and outdoor dining area, wide lawns, a children's play area, a ping-pong table and a hammock, making it easy to spend long summer days outdoors.
Inside, Fenice is welcoming and comfortable, with generous living spaces, a fully equipped kitchen and several areas where everyone can relax together. The bedrooms are spacious and simply furnished, offering a cool and restful place to unwind after days exploring the region. Air conditioning is available in the bedrooms to ensure comfortable sleeping during the warmer summer months.
Note that 2 of the 4 bedrooms are set on the first floor, and 2 on the second floor, making property ideal for two families. Note due to layout the second floor is ideal for either a family or a group of children rather than 2 couples.
Despite its peaceful rural setting, Fenice has the rare advantage of a local pizzeria and small shop within walking distance. A wider choice of restaurants, villages and amenities can be reached within a short drive. The villa is well located for visiting Castiglion Fiorentino, Cortona and Arezzo, making it an excellent base for discovering this part of Tuscany.
Fenice is particularly well suited to guests who enjoy exploring by car, with easy access to the Valdichiana and surrounding towns. A local train station is also 10 minutes by car, providing a convenient option for day trips without driving.
Additional features include private parking within the property, good privacy throughout the grounds and plenty of space for both adults and children to relax and enjoy a true Tuscan atmosphere.
Other services:
Breakfast on request Meals can be cooked on request by the owner - as often or as little as required. Catering for caeliac dietary needs. Cookery lessons with the owner can be arranged on site. Small consecrated chapel for baptisms or weddings up to say 20 guests
Nb - owner lives on site in different part of this vast villa, with own entrance and garden area etc. The site has been designed to give guests total privacy.
Location and exploring: Please note that automated distance information can be misleading in rural areas. Although some places may appear close “as the crow flies,” walking routes are often impractical.
Fenice is well positioned for exploring some of Tuscany's most beautiful and well-known destinations. It sits between Perugia, Siena and Arezzo, with other nearby places to visit including Cortona, Lake Trasimeno, the Val d'Orcia, Monteriggioni and Bagno Vignoni.
The closest airport is Florence, approximately a 90-minute drive away, with Pisa also an option at around two hours by car. Even Rome can be visited as a long day trip, taking around two and a half hours by car.
For guests who prefer not to drive every day, a local train station is within a 10 minute drive, making city visits far more relaxed.
Golf enthusiasts will also find several golf courses within approximately 30 minutes' drive.
Closer to home, there is a pizzeria and a small local shop just 100 metres away. Another well-regarded restaurant is around 2 km away, with a wider choice of restaurants and amenities available in the local village, approximately a 5 km drive.

This villa has breathtaking views and a gorgeous peaceful pool area. We were travelling as a family with our adult children and their partners. We were 7 in total and there was plenty of room for us both outside and in. The kitchen is very well equipped with modern appliances and plentiful dishware. It is 10 minutes from the nearest town so a car is a must. Linda and Jaime are warm and welcoming. We had them prepare a meal for us and they set a beautiful table overlooking the Tuscan countryside. The food was delicious and with the ambience they created, one of our favourite meals of the trip.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at La Fenice!
In the hills above the charming town of Castiglion Fiorentino, this villa was a delightful spot for our week in Tuscany. The owner was very helpful and the food she cooked for us was delicious. We spent several lazy days enjoying the pool and walking around the area, mixed with more active days: taking the train to Florence, driving to Arezzo and Cortona. It was a lovely spot.
We are traveling with 6 persons through Italy. This villa was a wonderful change of pace to the crowded streets of the cities. Beauty, clean, and well stocked. A little off the grid but worth the train rides and car rental.
It’s a beautiful house with lots of character. It was easy for three couples to function together due to nice rooms and en-suite bathrooms.
The pool and pool area were fantastic.

Superb Tuscan house with talented decorations made by Linda. Amazing swimming pool with its garden. Great hospitality from Linda and Jaime . We will remember this beautiful week with our whole family for a long time.
Do not hesitate to book your holidays there.
We could not have asked for a more amazing experience. We loved everything about this property… amazing views, great hosts, picturesque city and delicious food and wine. Linda was always available to answer any questions and we would highly recommend the delicious meals they offer on request. The accommodations were like stepping back in time while still enjoying modern amenities (including an ice machine in the fridge). Thank you Linda for such a great experience!
My husband and I, our daughter and 3 granddaughters and boyfriend absolutely loved the Fenice Tuscan Villa. We were warmly greeted by the owners. They gave attention to every detail of our stay. The villa was spacious and comfortable for our large family. We enjoyed the chef-prepared breakfast each morning outside beside the pool. The view of the Tuscan Countryside was breathtaking. A highlight of our stay was a local wine tasting. We highly recommend this property!
A piece of heaven with a couple of angels to watch over us.
Absolutely superb hosts. Nothing was too much trouble. We had two delicious meals cooked by Linda and we left with her homemade limoncello and olive oil.
Peaceful, beautiful grounds with wonderful walks straight from the house.
Tennis club 5 min drive away, and a local train station that whisked us off to Florence for the day.
Don't miss Snoopy's gelato in the local town. This holiday was a 5* experience.
From the moment we arrived we were greeted with warm, rustic charm that Tuscany is famous for. The villa is surrounded by breathtaking landscapes of olive groves, vineyards and picturesque rolling hills. The host met us when we arrived and was attentive to our needs during our stay. The villa was spacious and clean and the outdoor space was a true haven. You will need access to a car or limo/tour guide if you want to explore Siena or Florence which we highly recommend.
We had a great time. Linda and Jamie were amazing. The house was very comfortable. The different levels were different for us, but worked out. Especially with multi families for privacy. The grounds were beautiful. There were a lot of ants, bees, bugs in general around the pool so it was hard at times to use. Especially could not enjoy meals outside, but overall the grounds were just beautiful. Linda went out of her way to accommodate extra family in their private unit. Great way to end our month vacation around Italy.
La Fenice was a perfect example of a traditional tuscan hideaway with nothing but hills and trees to gaze upon.
The villa was spacious enough for us all - two families or four with kids under 12 and the grandparents!
The bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen were all perfectly clean and comfortable (with aircon in every bedroom which was a welcome relief from the august heat) and the pool area was just beautiful with plenty of seating and grassy areas for the children to play.
There are a lot of steps so wouldn't be suitable for someone who struggles with their mobility.
No shops nearby on foot but plenty of choices of restaurants, cafes, gelaterias and supermarkets 10mins drive in nearby Castiglion Fiorentino.
I'd recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing and peaceful holiday but with nearby tuscan towns and villages in easy reach, it's a great base for exploring the wider area as well.
The house is over 500 years old and well kept. It has hardwood floors, floors made of stone, and tiled floors. Ceilings with big beams, old fireplaces, and walls that have heard many a secret. It is easy to imagine all the history it has witnessed.
The view is breathtaking, with rolling hills of green, olive groves, grapefields and more.
During our stay of 2 weeks we spent some time doing nothing, except relaxing by the pool, and playing with the children in the pool. However, the location is good as a base for exploring and visiting old medieval villages, such as Cortona, Arezzo, Siena, and of course Castiglion Fiorentino. We also had 2 day trips to Florence by train. We booked a wine tasting and lunch at the winery «Buccelletti» down the road, a five minute walk from the house. Beautiful place and a lovely experience.
Linda’s family has been there for generations, and she and her husband takes great pride in making your stay as comfortable as possible.
There is air-conditioning in 3 of the spacious bedrooms. My daughter and I stayed in the bedroom with no air-conditioning, and it was fine due to the thick walls of the house. It was nice and cool inside, even though it was up to 38 degrees C outside.
If you are looking for a place to stay with your family in Tuscany, I do not hesitate to recommend this place. If you book La Fenice you can have a nice, adventurous and relaxing holiday - all at the same time!
Gorgeous old villa plenty of room for 6 of us. Well equipped kitchen & several lovely eating areas. Pool & garden perfect with glorious views. Impeccable hosts highly recommended.
If you'd like a true Tuscan experience in a lovely house with a fantastic pool then this is for you.
The owners are so helpful, provide great help with local places to visit and the cooked meal they provided was outstanding.
Took my parents and sister to Italy for the first time and enjoyed a week at La Fenice. Linda and Jaime were excellent hosts, we felt very at home in their beautiful property.
Incredible place to get away with your family. Linda and her husband could not be more hospitable. Property, pool and all around feel was great.
The town of Castiglione Fiorentino was very friendly and had some fun spots to eat.
Incredible warm and welcoming hosts and property. Perfect retreat from the hustle of the cities. Nestled into olive groves and down the street from a winery. We spent 11 days and weren’t sad about it. Thank you Linda and Jaime!
This is a well kept property with plenty of space for a family. Linda - the property owner - is fluent in English and always available to help. She is a very nice and honest person. She was also super helpful with securing an appointment to get our Covid tests before returning to US. The property is located next to the small town of Castiglion Fiorentino which has surprisingly great dining options, with affordable prices and English speaking personnel. Very pleased with our stay.
Pros: From the first night it felt like home away from home. The kitchen was very well equipped. Plenty of cookware, glasses, and dishware. The pool was wonderful, though too cold to get into because it was too early in the season. The view from the pool was indescribable! We had two dinners prepared for us. I would highly recommend at least one dinner being prepared. The food was better than the restaurants we dined at. The freshness could be tasted. Our first night we made our own simple pasta dish. We used some of Linda’s herbs in that meal after grabbing essentials from Gala, one of the local grocery stores. The villa is very centrally located and we were able to to see so much of the Toscana Hills. Cons: Not suitable for mobility impaired individuals. The many stairs were not as horrible as not having a lavatory on the first floor when getting back from a day of site-seeing.I would happily rent again. I also would recommend this villa to persons I know that are interested in a very large villa with plenty of bedroom space and a view that is awe-inspiring!
Very friendly and accommodating hosts. The meal they cook was excellent. The location was beautiful and the pool area was kept immaculate. It was a characterful and spacious property but some of the furnishings were a little tired and wobbly. The spa bath did not work and neither did the plug in the bath. The plug in the kitchen sink also did not work and some of the cabinets were in need of repair. Overall it was a beautiful place to holiday and I would have no reservations about recommending it to others.
This place was truly relaxing. It was a beautiful and quiet place, the house was amazing and the kitchen was great. The grounds were top notch.
It was an 8 min drive to town, and there were multiple walled cities to see within 20-90 mins away. Easy to access.
The hosts were wonderful.
We went with another couple and our two kids. There was room for everyone to spread out, inside and out. Afternoons by the pool was a big hit.
My family of 5 just finished our 6 day stay at the Fenice Villa. The home is beautiful and the view is breathtaking. The pool overlooks the Tuscan hillside and is perfect for relaxing and cooling off. It is just a 10 minute car ride to a grocery store and to the train station where you can easily travel to different Tuscan cities. The best gelato we had in Italy was at Snoopy's right in Castiglion Fiorentino. The owners, Linda and Jaime, could not have been more gracious and accommodating. They were immediately available to help us with whatever we needed. We can't say enough good things about our trip. We were sad to leave our Tuscan villa and hope to return again someday.
