Apartment Sud is in a typical agriturismo. The apartment is situated on the first and second floors. The furniture is rustic with the typical Tuscan touch. The garden is not located at the entrance of this house, but 40 meters away, next to the forest. Next to the stairs to the apartment, you will find a veranda.
In the loggia, there is a working wood oven where you can make excellent pizzas or cook with old earthenware pans.

The rustic house is located in a strategic position, 30 km from Florence and Arezzo, and 40 km from Siena. The house is about a five minute drive from Castelfranco di Sopra.

Tips Owner
Lovely excursions are the cities of Arezzo, Anghiari, admire Bibbiena, Cortona, Poppi and Sansepolcro. A beautiful area with lots of nature and culture! Walks around Belvedere Right next to the loggia, by the gate to the court, you'll find a sign post with a rough scheme of nearby walks or hikes. From Belvedere, various trails will take you through our forests up to the Pratomagno peaks or downhill to our nearby village Pulicciano and further down to Castelfranco or Pian di Scò. Only the trails are man-made. The scenery you pass is untouched and wildly romantic nature. Barbecue and open fire Even though there are outdoor fire places at almost all our apartments, the use thereof during the summer months is strictly forbidden, owing to the high risk of forest fires. There is a barbecue grill on wheels, kept in the loggia and available for our guests. There is also a barbecue grill at the Casa Cipressi. Oil and wine Our fattoria offers you its own wine and, above all, our renowned first-class olive oil. At the reception loggia (between the big able and the little wall) you will find a little door. The key to it is hidden in the lantern hanging above the table (please always put the key back there for other guests to find it). In this little shed you'll find white and red wine, oil as well as vinegar and „Vin Santo“, a sweet desert wine very typical for our area. Please note down what you are consuming on the notepad prepared for you. Your account will be settled upon your departure. Note: We do not offer payment by credit card or bank card – cash only. At E-bike rental you can rent electric bikes, perfect for a trip to Pratomagno at about 1400 meters above sea level or in the Chianti area. The bikes can be delivered directly at the holiday home. Ask the owner for more information.

John B. from Netherlands
Date of stay: September 2022Het leven beleven op zijn Italiaans, op een top locatie in de driehoek Siena, Arezzo en Firenze. Een mooi authentiek Toscaans landhuis van alle gemakken voorzien, keuze uit verschillende leefruimtes en plaats genoeg om lekker buiten te zitten. Een prima zwembad om even lekker af te koelen of om lekker op een van de ligstoelen te genieten van de zon. Een klein winkeltje met wijn (rood en wit) en olijfolie van het huis maken de Toscaanse beleving compleet.
Ms TM K. from Netherlands
Date of stay: September 2019Geweldige plek. Bijzonder huis met veel historie. Adembenemend uitzicht. Beheerders heel vriendelijk en zorgzaam. Heel fijn om hier te verblijven. Enige nadeel waren de stekende muggen. Schijnt bij het jaargetijde te horen ( september)
Mr Arnoud D. from Netherlands
Date of stay: July 2019 - August 2019Mooie authentieke locatie, prachtig uitzicht.
Mr J. W. from Netherlands
Date of stay: July 2018De accommodatie is niet overdreven luxe, maar de sfeer en omgeving compenseren dat ruimschoots. Je woont tijdelijk in een paar honderd jaar geschiedenis en de eigenaar weet daarover trots te vertellen. En.,.. zomers houden de dikke muren het ruime huis koel. Op de berg heerst landelijke rust. Bereikbaarheid van de grote steden is prima via het station van Figline via Florence is Rome op 1,5 uur reisafstand.
G. from Netherlands
Date of stay: July 2017 - August 2017Direct na aankomst een rondleiding gekregen door de eigenaar. Prachtige oude boerderij! Zeer vriendelijke ontvangst. Eigenaar geeft veel tips over de omgeving. Heerlijke tomaten, komkommer uit eigen tuin. Regelmatig bracht hij vers fruit. Vanuit het huis een prachtig uitzicht richting de dorpjes in het dal.
Mr Jeroen v. from Netherlands
Date of stay: July 2016 - August 2016Na een geweldige klim omhoog kwamen we aan op een prachtig landgoed vol met olijfbomen. Als je Toscaans wil dan kan je hem hier vinden. De eigenaar Vanni is een geweldige man die met liefde verteld over zijn boerderij en omgeving. Echt een aanrader dus!
Ms Irma A. G. H. from Netherlands
Date of stay: August 2014De weg naar het authentieke, 14de eeuwse vakantiehuis is een spannende tocht. Het huis is ingericht met meubels die bij het huis passen, maar aan de moderne tijd (vaatwasser) is ook gedacht. Vanni is een gastvrije huisbaas, die geregeld groenten, fruit en tips komt brengen/aandragen. Alleen jammer dat de Wifi/internet niet aan onze wensen voldeed.
Mr Ate d. from Netherlands
Date of stay: July 2014Een fantastisch uitzicht vanuit het appartement. De eigenaar Vanni geeft graag een rondleiding en vertelt vol trots over de geschiedenis van zijn gebouwen en meubels. Elke ochtend bracht hij ons groente en fruit uit zijn eigen tuin. Mensen die echt rust zoeken moeten een paar jaar wachten met boeken, de kleinkinderen van Vanni zijn dan oud genoeg en produceren dan waarschijnlijk minder lawaai. Wij hebben ons er niet aan gestoord, maar kan me voorstellen dat dit anders is als je echt rust zoekt. De weg naar het appartement is verhard, maar niet geschikt voor mensen met hoogtevrees. Toscane is mooi en vanuit het appartement hebben we veel steden bezocht. Vanuit het appartement ben je minimaal twee uur onderweg voordat je de toeristische plaatsen kunt bezoeken. In Figline een grote supermarkt Coop. Op zaterdag ontzettend druk. Ook op zondag open.
Mr Jonathan M. from Great Britain
Date of stay: August 2013We stayed in 'Sud', part of the original house, which dates back to the 13th century. From our windows and the terrace outside our house, there are the most amazing views across the Arno valley, although the drive up the winding road from Castelfranco is not for the faint-hearted. Inside, the rooms are full of old furniture, fittings and pictures, so if you want a taste of the old Italy, this place is for you. The house is at the end of a road (last bit dirt), so there is no passing traffic. The daily sound of the bee-eaters flying over, or the gentle buzz of the humming-bird hawk moths (day & night) are the only sounds to disturb. There is a small swimming pool which is great for cooling off in during the heat of the day it also has fantastic views across the valley. The host is very welcoming and will give you a tour of the ancient house at the drop of a hat. If you want to get to any of the city attractions (Florence, Siena etc.) they all involve a drive of an hour or more. There are several interesting villages and small towns much closer, especially if you are interested in churches and their associated art. This venue is definitely for people who want to 'get away from it all.'
Mr Wouter F. from Belgium
Date of stay: August 2013Very warm welcome, Rita is fantastic. Because the house is situated on a hill, it's very quiet. Also it is less warm. Belvedere is an ideal place to visit Tuscany Siena, Florence, Arrezo, San Gimignano. You can buy wine, very fine olive oil and honey. And let's not forget the 'vin santo'! The Sud appartment is spacious and basic. For us (parents and 4 children) it was very good. After all, we spent all day outdoors. There you have a nice view over the valley. Nice pool. Tip visit Florence by train. There is an railway station in Figline, 20 minutes from Belvedere. We did that and were absolutely happy 30 minutes in the train, a ten minutes walk and you're standing in front of the Duomo!
Ms Els V. from Belgium
Date of stay: July 2013De antieke villa is ruim en binnen lekker koel, ook als buiten de temperatuur oploopt. Zeer aangename ontvangst.
Mr John Van S. from Netherlands
Date of stay: July 2013De inrichting is "traditioneel" wel erg sober. Maar heeft de pret zeker niet gedrukt. Zeer leuke vakantie met cultuur, eet genot en mooie omgevingen. Heerlijke tijd gehad.
