La Todiolina is an annexe of a property itself part of an ancient estate whose history goes back to Etruscan times. The views down the Val di Chio from the terrace to Castiglion Fiorentino on one side and Montecchio Castle on the other, are breathtaking - one of the best in Tuscany. The property is in a quiet and secluded location bounded by ancient woodland and surrounded by olive terraces. The grounds are extensive and border on National Park land. There are many original features. Castiglion Fiorentino is 5 minutes drive away and has everything you may require, including a main-line railway station. The larger historic towns of Cortona in one direction and Arezzo in the other, are 15 and 25 minutes away respectively. The new pool, with Roman steps, is situated on an adjacent terrace and has extensive views. The owners are delighted to give any assistance required.

The property is easily accessed via a short white road through vineyards. The views all around are amazing, some of the best in Tuscany. The pool is 10x5m and newly built. It is 1.4m deep at the shallow end, with Roman steps and 2.4m at the deep end. It is set amongst olive and pine trees on a terrace adjacent to La Todiolina. There are sunbeds and umbrellas and a heated pool-side shower. A shady gazebo with table and chairs allows relaxing with a book. You have a private terrace outside of your room. Wildlife is abundant here, the property being on the edge of a National Park. You might see anything from a wild tortoise to a porcupine, or a hoopoe to a hawk. You are free to roam in the extensive grounds and beyond. You can walk forever if you wish! You will ideally have a car to get you to town or beyond, but we can organise taxis for you, to the Railway Station for example, or help you plan your trips, if you wish. Large parking area.

There are well stocked local shops which are open late, but there are supermarkets in Castiglion Fiorentino, 5 minutes drive away. The ancient and wonderful Cortona with its unbelievable views and typical Tuscan restaurants, and Arezzo with designer shops on one hand and medieval arts and Roman amphitheatre on the other, are 15 and 25 minutes away respectively. Siena is a 1 hour drive away and Florence is 1 hour by car or train. We are 20 minutes from the main north/south A1 autostrada.
Further details
Tuscany has very strict planning controls and protects its heritage. Its many historic towns and treasures must be experienced. The local outdoor markets are marvellous and there are banks and supermarkets in the local towns. The market in Castiglion is on a Friday. Arezzo has a famous monthly antique market (first Sunday of the month and preceding Saturday). The wine growing areas of Chianti to the North, and the area producing the Brunello and Vino Nobile (Montalcino and Montepulciano) to the South, can all be reached within 1 hour. Highly recommended.
