Nestled in the lush forests of the Casentino Valley, among the rolling Tuscan hills that separate Arezzo from Florence, stands the splendid Villa Maria Lena. A haven of peace and beauty, where nature embraces every detail and time seems to slow down.
Just 1 km from the villa, easily reachable on foot, is the picturesque village of Chitignano, famous for its sulphurous and ferruginous waters. Here you will find everything you need for your stay: a mini-market, a bar and a typical restaurant where you can enjoy local flavours. A few steps from the villa, a natural spring allows you to collect beneficial water directly from the source.
Villa Maria Lena is the ideal starting point for exploring the wonders of Tuscany. Art cities such as Florence (70 km), Siena (90 km), and Arezzo (30 km) are easily reachable for a day trip. But don’t miss the chance to discover the gems of the Casentino: the majestic Castle of Poppi, the mystical Sanctuary of La Verna, the hermitage of Camaldoli, and the enchanting Casentino Forests National Park — a true paradise for hiking and nature lovers.
The villa is surrounded by a large, fully fenced private garden dotted with olive trees, where your four-legged friends can run freely. The swimming pool (4x8 m, depth 1.40 m – open from 01/05 to 30/09) offers moments of pure relaxation under the Tuscan sun.
Just a few steps from the villa, with a separate entrance to ensure maximum privacy, lives the owner, always available for any need or advice, ready to enrich your stay with his knowledge of the local area.
