Reinaissance-style villa for sale fully restored on the outskirts of Arezzo, in an enchanting historic and scenic setting. Nestled among green hills, a short distance from the historic center of Arezzo and only half an hour south of Florence, an enchanting setting boasting the rustling of leaves in the wind, the flowing of the waters of the Arno river, the colors and scents of the countryside, cool even in the hottest months. Villa Petrognano was built in the mid-1500s by a noble Tuscan family, a splendid example of a Renaissance villa with unique serene stone finishes and a belvedere turret on the roof with a spectacular view of the park and the Tuscan landscape with vineyards, olive trees, and rolling hills. From the large front courtyard, the ground floor welcomes in a stained-glass foyer and to a stunning main reception hall with imposing high ceilings with exposed wooden beams embellished with decorative elements, a central stone fireplace, and a sequel of charming rooms and elegant lounges beautifully preserved in classical style. Top highlights include a private aristocratic chapel, a belvedere rooftop turret, a swimming pool, and a stone cottage. The seven bedrooms in the villa and three bedrooms in the cottage all have ensuite bathrooms. Century-old trees, oaks, cypresses, and an olive grove producing a fragrant evo oil are still preserved in the park surrounding the villa. A small vineyard, pasture, and woods complete the property. Perfectly maintained through the centuries, Villa Petrognano is an elegant, ready-to-live-in period residence, equipped with solar panels and modern comforts, perfect to live with family and friends or to host travelers for their vacations in Tuscany.
