This antique farm complex is situated in the mystical landscape of the Upper Tiber Valley, surrounded by softly rolling hills, cultivated fields, and woodlands that bear witness to the strongly agrarian character of Italy through the centuries - a past which has marked the land as clearly as it has shaped the people who continue to work it.

Located twenty minutes drive east of Arezzo, the property is in easy reach of towns rich in art and history, including Sansepolcro (birthplace of Piero della Francesca and proud keeper of some of his most famous paintings), Anghiari, Monterchi, Citerna, Città di Castello, and Caprese Michelangelo. Slightly farther afield, but still within day-trip range are Florence, Assisi, Gubbio, Cortona, and a chain of sanctuaries built by Saint Francis and his followers, who sought out wild places of great natural beauty in which to meditate and give thanks.

Off the beaten track of the mass tourist market, this property, is nevertheless, at the center of Renaissance Tuscany, offering easy access to the hill towns, museums, craftsmen, restaurants, wine and specialty food shops that make this part of Italy so famous. Its particular appeal is to offer a tranquil country setting, yet with many of the conveniences offered by a well-run country hotel, including short distance from a country road, and a range of possible services and facilities, such as nearby tennis courts, swimming lessons, horseback riding, mountain biking, guided museum and artisan tours. On the grounds are a playground for children and a bocce court.

The house combines the traditional materials of Tuscan farm architecture - huge, chestnut beams, terracotta floors, stone and painted plaster walls—with all the modern conveniences. The spacious rooms have been furnished with classic Tuscan furniture, made from chestnut and wrought iron, including family pieces that recall an earlier era of Italian country life. In order to offer choice in price and size of accommodations, Villa Ferraguzzo has been divided into three separate apartments for groups ranging from 8-14 people, with prices adjusted accordingly. It is handicapped accessible.

Each of the apartments has a separate entrance and private outdoor space, with easy access to the pool and communal laundry area, located in a separate building. Each also has a full-service kitchen with dishwasher, and is outfitted with fine linens, towels, hairdryers, and kitchen equipment. In addition to the main house, there is a separate, restored farm building nearby that includes a large country kitchen, living and dining space with open fireplace for parties, birthdays, anniversaries, and other celebrations. Discounts are available for people wishing to celebrate important events at Villa Ferraguzzo.

Upon request, our cooks can prepare meals at the house, allowing guests to experience the pleasures of traditional Tuscan cooking in comfort and esclusion. The owners of Villa Ferraguzzo can also organize cooking courses at the Buitoni estate near Sansepolcro (the Buitoni family being internationally famous for pasta production) their 18th century villa provides an elegant reminder of the glories of Italy - past and present. A further glimpse of the rich popular traditions of the area are provided in Villa Ferraguzzo's small museum, which contains a collection of photographs of peasant life and work in the surrounding valleys.

Situated in the midst of approximately 74 acres of farmlands and forests, the house is surrounded by spectacular, ancient oaks shading meandering stone walls, terraces and flowered walkways that create a welcoming park-like setting, perfect for outdoor barbecuing, dining and lounging. To the side of the house, is an elegant 18 meter by 6 meter swimming pool, providing a beautiful retreat for both relaxation and exercise after a day of sightseeing and shopping in the nearby hill towns.
