Details of Villa Dei Mercanti

Villa Dei Mercanti in Chianti & Arezzo, Italy sleeps 16 people. You will find total tranquillity and utter beauty at the exquisite Villa Dei Mercanti in the enchanting Val di Chiana, close to Siena, Cortona and Arezzo in southern Tuscany.

Everything about Villa Dei Mercanti feels authentically Tuscan from its inviting interiors to the eight hectares of magnificent grounds with stunning views around you. This grand Leopoldina-style villa dates back to the 18th century and features its original dovecote tower and garden annexe, all of which have been recently renovated to create a beautiful holiday home with eight bedrooms.

Step inside the villa and you will sense a relaxed ambience against a backdrop of elegance and quality. Antique furnishings, striking objets d'art and pretty touches allow guests to soak up the character of this unique villa whilst feeling comfortably at home in such charming surroundings. The main house has ample relaxation rooms, a kitchen equipped for the very best Italian cook and a superb dining area leading out to an al-fresco terrace for meals looking over the estate's century-old olive grove. You will also find four attractive en suite bedrooms, including an especially lovely king-size double on the top floor with its own covered balcony with views of the picturesque valley.

A garden annexe and dovecote tower have also been converted into wonderful accommodation; the dovecote would be ideal for a couple with its own living room and loft bedroom whilst for larger groups, the annexe features three pretty bedrooms, each with their own shower room and doors leading out to the landscaped gardens.

The eight hectares of grounds are tremendous at any time of year – a true Tuscan paradise whether you wish to find a secluded spot or prefer to spend convivial times with friends and family. In Spring watch the fruit orchards blossom, followed by flowering wisteria as summer approaches. The aromas of lemon trees and lavender fill the air in the summertime as you cool off in the swimming pool or relax amongst the countless hydrangeas and wild roses. As Autumn approaches, the colourful woodlands are a delight as olive farmers prepare for their harvest and truffle hunters start searching. Even the winters are magical as you gaze out over the evergreens towards the misty valley.

You're perfectly positioned to visit some of Tuscany's greatest attractions with Siena, Cortona and Arezzo all within easy reach and even Florence just 90-minutes by car. Visit the wineries of nearby Montepulciano to sample its famous Vino Nobile or drive westwards to explore the Chianti vineyards. The Val di Chiana also offers wonderful walking through idyllic Tuscan landscapes alongside hearty regional cuisine that can be enjoyed in local osterie and trattorie, including in the historic town just a short walk away.

Even Umbria is close by if you feel like some water sports on Lake Trasimeno, just half an hour away, or visit the chocolatiers of Perugia, the region's capital. The Val di Chiana is a truly magnificent part of this alluring region.
