Villa Il Gufo at Toscana | Villa in Anghiari (AR)

Nestled within the small medieval village of Anghiari, Villa il Gufo is comprised of several Tuscan farmhouses, restored with love and passion to create a magical estate of distinctive earthy colour tones and subtle aromas of Jasmine and Primrose. The property consists of three units dating back to 1600, that include a monastery that housed Camaldolesi monks for over a thousand years, a main house spread over three stories with private terracotta terraces, and a charming stone cottage about 30m away from the main building. All of these fascinating buildings have long and varied histories, and have been restored with respect to their heritage, keeping many of the original features such as the floor tiles, stone steps and thick wooden trusses. Surrounding the buildings are carefully maintained landscaped gardens boasting a wide array of colourful blossoms, and a further five acres of woodland home to one of the oldest cypresses in the valley and many resident squirrels, hares, deer, pheasants, and owls. This strong connection to nature is one of the standout attractions of the property, where guests can relax in the sun by the large outdoor swimming pool, hide away in a small wooden snug secluded among the olive trees, enjoy the children’s playground with hammocks and games, or dine al-fresco on a veranda surrounded by roses. The family behind the renovation of this wonderful property is extremely passionate about the experience that each guest enjoys and encourage you to specify any needs you may have before you arrive in order for them to ensure they can provide you with the perfect tailor-made service. To ensure that the culinary heritage is fully appreciated, the owners can organise meals, wine and oil tastings in many oil mills and wineries in the area. They can even organise all this within the estate so you never have to leave the comfort of Villa il Gufo! 1) 4 double bedrooms (8 guests) 2) 7 double bedrooms (14 guests) 3) 7 double bedrooms + sofa beds (20 guests) The Villa (access to the main house is from two sides: the kitchen and the living room) Ground Floor - Large living room with huge fireplace, Steinway piano, 3 sofas, 5 square tables and chairs - Small sitting area with armchairs - Fully-equipped kitchen with 6 burners, a large oven, 2 large fridges, two sinks, a dishwasher (that completes a full load in 60 seconds!), washing machine, coffee machine, kettle, microwave, dryer, toaster, deep fryer and a kitchen table next to a working fireplace First Floor - Living room with original working fireplace - Large terrace with stunning views - Suite with a double bed, ensuite bathroom and a corner bath tub - Suite with a double bed, ensuite shower room and access to the terrace - Suite with a sitting area with a double sofa bed (suitable for two guests), ensuite bathroom and French doors leading to the terrace Second Floor (said to be an old watchtower) - Mezzanine library - Suite with a double bed and a living room with fireplace and double sofa bed (the two rooms are separated by a door but share the same en-suite bathroom) The Cottage - Master bedroom with two bathrooms (a disabled toilet and a bathroom with hydro-massage shower) - Compact kitchen - Garden with table and chairs, suitable for 2 or 3 people Former Chapel Ground Floor - Suite with a double bed and en-suite shower room First Floor - Suite with a master bedroom and en-suite bathroom with shower - Kitchenette with refrigerator Outside Grounds (1 hectare) - Swimming Pool (12m x 6m, depth: 1.5m), open approximately mid-May to end-September - Large outdoor shower solarium area furnished with sun loungers, tables, chairs and parasols - Laundry room with a washing machine and tumble dryer - Extensive lush gardens - Ancient well - Games area with table tennis, hammocks, rackets and  balls - Pergola with a table and chairs near the kitchen and another by the pool - 5 acres of woodland - Parking Facilities - Wi-Fi - Heating (available for use from 1st November, unless requested in advance) - TVs - DVDs - Stereo with CD player - Hairdryers - Books and magazines - Guides and information about the area - Board games  - Iron and ironing board - Mosquito screens Extra Sustainability Gems About the Property The owners have installed solar panels to provide hot water, the park is home to centuries-old plants and the property benefits from no air pollution meaning the starry skies, sunrises and sunsets are truly amazing.
