1 Bedroom Villa in Villa Tramonto, Arezzo

Some places just make you want to slow down and breathe for a second. Villa Tramonto near Arezzo is one of those. The drive out is pretty special by itself. You are winding through those Tuscan hills all green and gold and every so often you catch flashes of sunflower fields on one side and silver olive groves on the other. When you finally reach the top of the hill and see Villa Tramonto standing there with its stone walls and the whole valley spread out beneath you it is almost like being in a scene from a classic Italian film. Florence is just over there. Siena too. Arezzo is even closer if you want a morning coffee or fresh bread from the village but honestly the quiet here makes every city feel miles away.

The estate is spread across a pretty impressive eight and a half hectares. The feeling of space is hard to explain if you are not standing there. I lingered near the front gate just to look out over the whole place. You will probably notice the olive trees first. About fifty of them. All with those incredible twisted trunks and soft silvery leaves. They look exactly the way you imagine Tuscany ought to. And then as you walk in there is this winding cobble path that leads you gently up through a cluster of old farmhouses. The stonework is real old school stuff. Feels solid and honest and when the sun hits in the afternoon the houses almost glow a little. It is a proper postcard view but it does not feel pretentious. Just inviting.

Now the main farmhouse is set over three storeys. The ground floor has one of those slightly worn stone floors that actually makes you want to go barefoot. You get this open reception area which is perfect if you want to welcome guests or just drop your bags and breathe for a moment. There is a real restaurant space down here and sometimes when you walk in you can actually smell herbs and baking bread in the air. I took a peek in the kitchen and it is a proper working setup with the sort of gear you need for real cooking not just heating up leftovers. If you see yourself hosting or even running a family style restaurant it just works here.

Upstairs there are six bedrooms all with their own bathrooms. Some have hand carved fireplaces and honestly those rooms feel perfect for curling up with a book on a cool night. You spot little details too. Hand painted frescoes on a wall here and there. The light comes through old wood window frames and catches the pattern on the beams above. You get a feeling that every corner has had a story or two over the years. The second farmhouse is a short walk across the lawn. It is smaller and has this more private feeling. Five bedrooms. Big old fashioned windows. Kitchen with wood cabinets that have all the marks of being well loved for years. Even in the heat of the afternoon the terra cotta floors feel cool underfoot.

Outside is where most people just want to linger. The saltwater pool is tucked up on a little rise so you swim with all the valley laid out in front of you. There is a Jacuzzi right there as well and I spent ages one afternoon just watching the wind ruffle the olive trees and a few swallows skimming low over the water. There is a winter garden too with warm hardwood floors and a glass roof so even when the weather goes moody you have somewhere special for a dinner or late night talk. The solarium catches every last bit of sunlight. You almost forget to check your phone after a while. That is how peaceful it gets.

Life here moves at a different speed. You can keep it all private or open the doors and run a boutique B and B with heart and character. Either way the place feels easy and welcoming. Markets are close. Locals pick up fresh vegetables in the mornings. Some evenings you hear nothing except birds and the sound of a bicycle down the road.
