Country house with an original tower dating back to 1500. In a panoramic position, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, only 2 km from the small village of Pieve San Giovanni, situated on the hills 10 km away from the city of Arezzo.
Description
Casa Rossa is a suggestive farmhouse of very remote origins. It stands in a very panoramic and peaceful position, overlooking vineyards and olive groves. It can be reached by following an unpaved road (1,5 km) that winds its way through rows of vineyards, and even before you get there you will feel you have been catapulted into another era. The origins of this house are in fact very old and date back at least to 1500, as documented in the register of souls of the parish of Pieve San Giovanni.
The owners, Leone and Giuseppe, have intentionally maintained its rustic, almost medieval appearance in order to preserve its noble origins. The wooden and brick ceilings, the original terracotta floors and the simple and essential furnishings are a rare example of the rural tradition in Tuscany. The farmhouse is particularly suitable for couples or families who love nature and simplicity and want to get away from modern life for a while.
You will find yourself facing an incomparable view on summer evenings, sitting by the pool (size 5 x 9 m, depth 1.20 m, private for guests - open from 18 May to 14 September) or dining in the furnished pergola in front of the house. And if you feel like leaving the quiet of the place for a while, the city of Arezzo is reachable in 15 minutes by car, and throughout the year it offers countless folkloristic and cultural events, including the Giostra del Saracino and the Antique Fair.
For horse lovers, there is a riding school less than 500 m from the house that organises rides through the vineyards and hills.

Reviews
We had an exceptional stay at Casa Rossa. Leone was incredibly welcoming, supporting us however he could, coming immediately to help when we couldn't work the dishwasher, and even helping us in our hour of need when a taxi didn't arrive (we had no other issues the rest of the trip). The house itself is a stunning rustic tuscan home, equipped with everything you could need - two bathrooms, a full kitchen, outdoor dining area and barbecue. The pool is a good size, surrounded by flowers and overlooking breathtaking views of the tuscan hills. We were a group of six and were very comfortable our entire stay. I would thoroughly recommend staying at Casa Rossa and we will definitely be returning! It is also worth mentioning we did not have a car, and managed fine without. It is around £25-40 for a taxi to Arezzo depending on timing and group size, and there was a free bus from Pieve San Giovanni to local villages including Castelluccio where there are a couple of bars and restaurants and a supermarket. All very achievable with some forward planning, and a perfectly tranquil place to stay whilst still having access to surrounding areas!
Casa Rossa is an absolute gem! Tucked away in a secluded location amongst the vineyards and olive groves, it is full of rustic charm and has a wonderful outlook across to Arezzo in the distance. We loved the simplicity of the interior (this is not the place for people who love their modern utilities and wide screen TVs), we enjoyed eating out on the terrace and the pool was perfect. We also really enjoyed eating out in the local pizzeria - lovely staff and great food, and highly recommended. All in all this was the perfect base to explore Tuscany and to enjoy the warm Italian sunshine.
Goede prijs/kwaliteit verhouding. Authentiek huis met voldoende ventilatoren. Mooi uitzicht.
*********************
Good price/quality ratio. Authentic house with sufficient fans. Nice view.
Wij waren twee weken in dit authentieke huis. Het huis ligt lekker afgelegen, waardoor je veel privacy heb. Maar vooral rust! Een nadeel is dat de weg er naar toe onverhard is en niet geschikt is voor sportauto's. Maar dat heeft wel z'n charme.
Het huis is eenvoudig ingericht maar wel van alle moderne faciliteiten voorzien. Denk daarbij aan wifi en inductie koken.
Het buiten vertoeven is geweldig met zo'n mooi uitzicht en een goed onderhouden zwembad.

We spent two weeks in this authentic house. The house is nice and secluded, giving you lots of privacy. But above all peace and quiet! One drawback is that the road leading to it is unpaved and not suitable for sports cars. But that has its charm.
The house is simply furnished but with all modern facilities. Think wifi and induction cooking.
Staying outside is great with such beautiful views and a well-maintained pool.
Beautiful place, magical views on the Tuscan countryside. The house is nicely renovated. Friendly owner. Silence, nature all around us (birds singing, cicadas, occasional night visit of wild boars). Good swimming pool, clean. It was very hot in early July, but it was good on the terrace below the pergola. Tips for trips - Arezzo, Siena, Cortona, Montepulciano, Pienza
Nous avons passé une excellente semaine à la Casa Rossa dans un cadre bucolique et calme en profitant de la piscine qui est super ! Nous conseillons vivement cette location dont la photo correspond parfaitement au cadre réel. A noter que depuis la tonnelle la vue est incroyable !
The perfect spot for an absolute wind down
The house is simple and clean. Everything you need is there except for a washing machine and a dish washer - but that is luxury anyhow. There are laundry places in Arezzo and surroundings. The place emanates authenticity and serenity. Just plain nature - surrounded by Olive trees with a beautiful panoramic view down to the Arno valley. If you look for a holiday to wind down and enjoy the simple things in life and nature - this is the spot to be. Giuseppe and Alfredo, who come to feed the cats and clean the pool are both lovely. With a bit of French and very little of Italian from our side - we were able to communicate. We spend most of the time under the pergola in the garden enjoying the birds and the quiet. Just the kitty cats visiting once in a while. The pool is clean and a nice size. I would suggest to bring your own towels. I will definitively go there again. The birds concert at dusk is just mesmerizing. Shopping facilities are near Arezzo or in Arezzo. A beautiful town worthwhile visiting. Some of the movie Life is beautiful was shot there. The cathedral is impressive. We were there beginning of June and had beautiful weather.
Very lovely house with an asthonishing view
The house is nicely renovated in old style, perfect for 4-6 people. Well equipped kitchen , except no dishwasher. Nice terrace outside in the shade. Perfect swimming pool. Very nice view on the valley of Arezzo. The house is quietly situated at the end of a not-paved road. There is a washing machine and an extra bathroom. There's a stair to enter the house so you need to be mobile. Perfect for a family with older children.Prachtig huis gelegen aan het einde van een onverhard pad. Het huis ligt op een heuvel waardoor prachtig uitzicht over het dal met in de verte Arezzo. Het zwembad is groot en wordt om de dag schoongemaakt. Keuken voorzien van goede apparatuur en goede pannen. Het huis is ruim maar de deuropeningen zijn vrij laag voor mensen > 1.80 meter. Er is een stenen trap om naar binnen te komen en het terrein heeft hoogteverschil dus niet geschikt voor minder validen. Er is een semi-overdekt buiten terras dmv druivenranken met een buiten bbq. Dit zorgt voor voldoende schaduw op de hete momenten. Bij het huis woont een familie vriendelijke schuwe katten. Deze zorgen ervoor dat het terrein verschoont blijft van zwerfdieren. Je hebt hier geen last van. Eigenaar spreekt goed Frans, Engels nauwelijks. Maar met handen en voeten kom je er wel uit. +: zwembad, prachtig terras met uitzicht over het dal, goede keukenuitrusting. Rust. -: veel muggen, steekvliegen ed
Glimrende hus i fine omgivelser
Vi havde et super ophold i Casa Rossa. Huset føles autentisk og lidt rustikt, uden at vi savnede noget. Det ligger temmeligt afsides, hvilket passede os godt, og der var gode gåture at foretage i området. Desuden er der blot ca. 20 min kørsel til Arezzo, som er fin at besøge, og hvorfra der går tog til eksempelvis Firenze. Poolen havde rigtigt dejligt vand, men der er kun 1,20 m dybt, så hovedspring var ikke muligt. Køkkenet er med induktionsplade, og der er en udmærket lille ovn. De to badeværelser er fine og rene. Alt i alt er det et superhyggeligt hus med sjæl og charme, som vi sagtens kan anbefale andre at besøge.Prachtige locatie met superuitzicht! Binnen was alles keurig netjes. De eigenaren zijn sympathiek, communiceren was een beetje moeizaam (spreken bijna geen engels). De weg naar het huis is even wennen, onverhard met kuilen en smal. Zwembad was heerlijk, werd om de dag schoongemaakt en het terras is erg mooi met druiven boven je hoofd. Wel een muggen/vliegenspray meenemen. Bbq aanwezig is erg handig. Is niet geschikt voor mensen die slecht ter been zijn i.v.m. trappen. In de omgeving is er een scoop om boodschappen te doen, maar er is er 1 nog dichterbij. In Arezzo heerlijk gegeten bij een lokaal restaurant, lekker en niet duur. Ook naar een woonboerderij in Arezzo geweest Fattoria il muro. Voor €15 op heerlijk geproefd en kleine hapjes. Neem wel cash mee, want je kunt daar niet pinnen. Vanuit Arezzo met de trein naar Florence geweest. Parkeren bij het station. Kaartjesautomaat op het station aanwezig. Ook naar Sienna geweest met de auto, vroeg vertrekken anders heb je geen parkeerplaats meer. Al met al een heerlijk huis met een superligging. Zeker een aanrader!
Typisch Toskana
Altes Bauernhaus(!), vor einigen Jahren renoviert. Typischer urwüchsiger Flair, Stein-gemauert, originale Baustoffe. Sehr schön. Alles da (bis auf Geschirrspüler). Schöner großer Pool. Auf halber Höhe des Hügels mit wunderschöner Fernsicht auf das ganze Tal bis Arezzo. De facto nur mit Auto zu erreichen. Nächstes Haus ca. 1km entfernt, nächstes Dorf (mit einer Wir haben uns ausgesprochen wohl gefühlt. Eine top Woche. Der Hit ist die mit Wein überwachsene (und somit sonnen-geschützte) Terrasse zwischen Haus und Pool, auf der wir ständig gesessen, gegessen und gegrillt haben. Hier hat sich unser ganzes Ferien-Leben abgespielt. Wunderschön.Toskana, wie man es sich vorstellt. Ruhe und Entspannung möglich, aber auch zentraler Ausgangspunkt für die Städtetouren.
Altes renoviertes Bauernhaus, im typischen Toskana-Stil. Einfach eingerichtet, aber alles sauber und zweckdienlich. Besonders hervorheben muss ich den Blick von der weinüberdachten Veranda, über das Arno-Tal bis nach Arezzo. Ein Ausblick, der süchtig macht! :-) Der Pool ist groß genug und wird jeden zweiten Tag vom Vermieter sauber gemacht. Bis auf Pisa liegen alle größeren Städte, wie Florenz, Siena, Montepulciano, etc in der Nähe und sind in weniger als einer Stunde erreichbar. Sehr angenehmer Kontakt zu dem Vermieter. Immer hilfsbereit und freundlich. Wir werden wieder kommen - die Toskana und das Casa Rossa ist so schön! :-)Rigtigt fin sted
Havde et dejligt ophold. Ligger totalt ugenert og 1 km ud af en grusvej. Så man går ikke lige i supermarkedet. Men helt perfekt, mellem vinmarker og oliventræer. Og den smukkeste udsigt... Så er man til fred og ro, er dette stedet...Other structures that may interest you
