Villa Silenziosa -

Villa Tuscany, Region Arezzo near Anghiari

Province of Arezzo, 6-10 sleeps, Anghiari

The villa has been converted from a 300-year-old stone barn. Although it has come a long way from its humble beginnings, original features have been retained and materials reused wherever possible to preserve its original character - chestnut beamed ceiling, hand-made pianelle ceiling tiles, cut stone door and window surrounds, wrought iron railings and hardware.
The interior boasts high ceilings and open spaces filled with natural light. Windows are generous, and afford sweeping views of the surrounding countryside that are never short of breathtaking. Mature oak trees surround the house and provide welcome shade on hot summer days.
The design, restoration and selection of materials were overseen personally by the owners who took a hands-on approach to the project and did a lot of the actual work, from the reclaiming of ceiling tiles to the building and installation of windows and doors. The Villa has been carefully finished by hand, and it is this resulting individuality that lends the building its specific character.
The house is on 2 levels and is positioned on a hillock so that both floors have ground level access. The main entrance is on the upper level from the front terrace and parking area. On this upper level occupying the four corners of the house are four bedrooms. The remaining bedroom is on the lower floor with direct access to the rear terrace. Rooms upstairs radiate off of a central hallway with an impressive four-meter high chestnut beamed and terra cotta tiled ceiling. Furnishing and decorating has been executed with taste throughout the house in a style that is casual and uncluttered. All bedrooms have hand made beds of wood or wrought iron furnished with comfortable firm mattresses, tasteful furniture and some beautiful antiques. The bathrooms are spacious and offer good natural light.
The open plan space on the lower floor serves as dining area, sitting room and kitchen. The focus of the room is on the grand archway with glass doors that frames a view of the lake. A long, sturdy, hand-made table of chestnut wood with seating for 10+ is well positioned to enjoy the view. Sofas and chairs in the opposite corner surround a wood-burning stove. The kitchen is fully equipped for preparing and serving, and features top of the line stainless steel appliances and a granite work surface. Arched glass doors lead to the spacious rear terrace paved in stone and tile. Ample seating on wooden chairs is provided for outdoor dining in the shade of an oak tree and for enjoying the fabulous view of the lake and surrounding countryside. There is a 2nd refrigerator, a dishwasher to free you from washing up, and a washing machine for your private use.
Wide roman stairs descend into the shallow end of the 6 x 12 meter (20 x 40 foot) private swimming pool located a short distance from the house. The ample surrounding stone paved terrace (200 square meters) offers seating in sun and shade. Pool furniture includes comfortable "Adirondack" style wooden chairs, fabric pool lounge chairs, and sun umbrellas.

An array of solar panels, discreetly positioned so that it is not visible from the pool, house or gardens, heats the pool so that it is always an excellent swimming temperature ranging from 25 - 31 centigrade*. As a result, the swimming season at the Villa extends from April through October, longer than elsewhere in the region.
