Villa Armoniosa
Located just a short distance from the historic center of Arezzo in a secluded, lush green setting, Villa Armoniosa is a historic 18th-century residence surrounded by approximately 5 hectares of land, offering open views towards the city.
The property retains the character of a traditional family home and comprises three distinct buildings: the main villa (Villa Armoniosa), the independent guesthouse "La Veduta," and the more intimate "Il Rifugio." Completing the complex is a private 18th-century chapel—still consecrated—a feature of particular interest that is rarely found on private estates.
Villa Armoniosa spans three levels and retains spacious formal reception rooms, along with five bedrooms and three bathrooms. Its unique character is most evident on the exterior, where the facades are enriched with ornamental decorations, geometric patterns, and floral motifs framing the doors and windows; these details lend the residence the distinctive, harmonious appearance that inspired its name.
The surrounding greenery creates a pleasant, private atmosphere. The estate includes approximately 400 productive olive trees, as well as tall mature trees and cypresses, and is approached via an elegant driveway leading to the villa. The garden also features a 5 x 10-meter swimming pool, perfect for enjoying the outdoor spaces during the summer months.
"La Veduta," the main guesthouse, is fully self-contained and boasts a spacious terrace with views towards Arezzo. Thanks to its independent layout, it serves ideally as accommodation for friends and family or as a secondary residence within the estate.
"Il Rifugio" is a smaller, more secluded, and independent unit, making it particularly suitable as a guest space, a study, or staff quarters. The villa retains the charm and many original features of its era, though it requires system upgrades and aesthetic refurbishment of the interiors and certain exterior areas. It is a property that offers the opportunity for modernization to meet contemporary needs while preserving its distinctive historical and architectural character.
All main utilities are connected. Heating is powered by natural gas, and water is supplied by a private well. The property is also equipped with an alarm system.
One of the most appealing features is its proximity to the city: despite its peaceful, green setting, Arezzo’s historic center is within walking distance—about 20 minutes away—via a dedicated pedestrian and cycle path. The location thus offers the tranquility of a historic residence without sacrificing the convenience of city amenities.
Castiglion Fiorentino is reachable in about 20 minutes, Cortona in around 30 minutes, and Città di Castello in approximately 40 minutes. The airports of Perugia and Florence are about an hour and fifteen minutes and an hour and a half away by car, respectively.
Together, Villa Armoniosa, La Veduta, and Il Rifugio form a property of great character, where history, nature, and independent living spaces coexist in a prime location—just minutes from the center of Arezzo and in the heart of the Tuscan landscape.
