The river Arno flows past the site and you can bathe there, also with pets. Around the pool there is a sun terrace with loungers, deckchairs, benches and parasols. The pool (6 x 12m) invites you to relax and cool off. It has steps and is illuminated internally and externally (from beginning of May to the beginning of October.)

Bread can be delivered on request (Monday to Saturdays, local prices depending on order). The holiday home is surrounded by a two meter high fence.

The Adriatic coast is about 90 minutes away by car, the Tyrrhenian Sea about two hours. You can also swim in the lake about 1.5km from the centre of Pratovecchio, or in the River Arno. Pratovecchio and Poppi are 3km away. You can go on trips to Poppi zoo, the della Verna pilgrimage church, the Camaldoli hermitage and the Foreste Casentinesi National Park. It is an hour’s drive to Florence, 40 minutes to Arezzo and 90 minutes to Siena. It is only an hour and five minutes by train from Arezzo to Rome, so day trips are possible.

    “Upon our arrival we were surprised that the owners had prepared a big tray of lasagna as well as a sponge cake. Having travelled all day this was a wonderful surprise.

    Throughout our entire stay Monica and Sandro (owners) helped us with anything we asked. Whether it was dinner reservations or baking us dough for the pizza oven. We've travelled a lot and have never been this well served before.

    About the house:
    It's a lovely home in a classic Italian style. Several of the bedrooms have on suites and even though the weather was hot outside the inside was cool and nice. The garden is very big and perfect for families with (or without) kids.

    If you want to experience the Italian country side with all that it has to offer and also having the possibility to visit some of the bigger cities within driving distance than this is the home for you.”

    “Wir haben eine zwar kurze, aber herrliche Woche in dem sehr stilvoll möblierten Haus auf einem wunderschönen großen Anwesen verlebt. Die sehr lieben, zuvorkommenden und äußerst hundefreundlichen Gastgeber haben uns zweimal mit hausgemachten italienischen Speisen versorgt, die sehr sehr lecker waren und uns zusätzliche freie Zeit beschert haben. Diese konnte man bei den vielen Beschäftigungsmöglichkeiten, die das Objekt für Groß und Klein bietet, auch sehr gut gebrauchen.”
