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.
Pets are welcome (extra charge could be required).
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.

Wundervoller Ort
Perfekte, ruhige Lage umgeben von Olivenhainen mit wundervoller Aussicht auf das Arnotal und Arezzo. Sehr freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Vermieter, der bei allen Fragen und Problemen schnelle Unterstützung bietet Das Haus selbst ist ein Schmuckstück - es war wundervoll in diesem historischen Gebäude verweilen zu dürfen.
Schöner Aufenthalt!
Das Haus ist eine Reise in die Vergangenheit und wurde wunderbar renoviert. Die Lage und die Aussicht sind wunderschön und für Naturliebhaber und Menschen, die absolute Ruhe suchen, perfekt. Die Küche ist sehr schlicht und nicht unbedingt geeignet für Leute, die sich kochend ausleben wollen. Ebenso ist die Ausstattung schlicht und funktional. Einige Möbel sind alt und sehr charmant. Das Restaurant in Pieve san Giovanni kann man zu Fuß erreichen, was aber ein längerer Spaziergang ist. Dafür war das Essen dort super. Achtung : es gibt Tage, an denen geschlossen ist und man sollte reservieren. Super zum Wandern oder Mountainbiken. Für Einkäufe etc. Brauch man immer das Auto , da es keine Geschäfte in naher Umgebung gibt. Bei Bedarf haben wir uns Maulbeeren, Rosmarin und Salbei frisch aus dem Garten geholt und in der Küche haben wir mit dem alten Herd ( wie bei meiner Oma in der Küche) mit Feuer geheizt. Den offenen Kamin konnte man nicht benutzen. Wir waren In der vorletzten Maiwoche da und hatten leider sehr durchwachsenes Wetter. Der Vermieter war jederzeit erreichbar und sehr freundlich. Alles lief sehr reibungslos und unkompliziert.
Exceptional stay
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!
A really good place
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.
Authentic house
Une excellente semaine
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 !
Beautiful place
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.
