Secluded Villa, private heated Pool, Wi-fi and TV. Secure Payment

Villa near Civitella in Val di Chiana, Arezzo, - Beautiful tranquil spot.
COMPLETE REFUND of all monies paid after 1 June 2020 in the event that your holiday becomes impossible due to government regulations. NB. No contact check-in/check-out. Key left in key safe. No other houses in the immediate vicinity. Extra precautions will be taken with cleaning in view of the Coronavirus pandemic.

If you are looking for a secluded property with beautiful views, yet close to many of the attractions of Tuscany, this could be for you. On a tranquil Tuscan hilltop, a comfortable farmhouse/villa with a large pool. Wander acres of olive groves, dine al fresco beneath starry skies. Elevated above the Chiana valley this is a peaceful Tuscan farmhouse surrounded by acres of olive groves. The old building had been left to ruin, but a careful restoration transformed its fortunes; a new stone facade, terracotta floors and beamed ceilings blend tradition with solid modern comfort. Through the wooden arched doors interiors are cosy and rustic. Plump sofas surround an open fire, while checked curtains add a touch of English country style. A long pine table is great for sociable dinners in the kitchen, or you can eat al fresco beneath the pergola or impressively starry skies. Good sized bedrooms are simple and fresh; most have garden views and one has an en-suite shower room. A terracotta terrace with a barbecue and outdoor seats frame the house, and there's a gorgeous swimming pool just beyond. Walks from the door head through olives, chestnut and oak woods where you might spot wild boar, foxes and porcupines. The house is in beautiful countryside close to the historic village of Civitella and superbly located for art and culture and all the historic towns and villages of Tuscany and Umbria. Florence is about 1 hour away, Siena and Cortona about 50 minutes, whilst Perugia and Assisi are within easy reach.

The pool is normally open and heated from mid-May, however it can be made available earlier on request. Until mid-May there will however be a charge to cover the cost of electricity for heating the pool.

Some guest comments but also see Reviews section) "...so busy since returning that I've not had the chance to thank you for letting us have such a glorious week at La Tartaruga. You have a wonderful place in the hills with such terrific views and challenging walks. (May 2013) We had a great time at the villa, and enjoyed the pool very much. It was all kept in excellent order by the people who came in at various times to do the pool, garden aand the sheets/towels - all very friendly and I think we managed to communciate despite our total lack of Italian. They were very quick to get the sun umbrella for the pool area repaired. We would certainly recommend the villa to friends. (September 2013) We left your lovely house yesterday morning after a wonderful week. All went well and we left the house as we found it. During the week we have met your friendly gardener and the man who came to check if everything was OK. (July 2013) Thank you for your email, we had the most fabulours week, thank you so much! We were so lucky with the weather, it was glorious and added to the enjoyment of the stunning scenery, etc. (April 2013)

Relaxing stay in beautiful surroundings
Family of 7 adults spent 1 week in beautiful secluded Tuscan farmhouse. Great location for visiting the region - Arezzo short drive. Florence Pisa approx. 1.5 hours. Beautiful hilltop villages, olive groves and vineyards. Quintessential Tuscany!

Great Tuscan hub
Quiet, charming location which was central for day trips to Monte San Savino, Florence, Lucca, Pisa, Cortona, Montepulciano and many other villages in Tuscany. The pool was lovely, gazebo had honeysuckle and other flowering vines surrounding it which was a nice location to get out of the sun. Many olive trees surround the house and we did manage to see a wild boar, many geckos, birds and even a snake.

Lovely house with good communication from hosts.
We enjoyed a lovely week in Val di Chiana in this beautiful remote spot. The hosts helped us to find the property when we first got there. The house is great. There were some issues with the water supply but they responded to the problem very promptly.

Great property in fantastic location
The setting for the villa is fantastic, great pool, stunning views and very secluded. The property itself was ideal, well presented and very spacious. the pictures do not do it justice. Valentin was very responsive before the trip, and always available if we needed anything during our stay. If you can drag yourself away from the pool, then Florence, Siena, San Gimignano and Arezzo are all within easy reach and well worth a visit. Highly recommended.

The Tuscan Villa Dream
When I dreamed of staying in a beautiful and private Tuscan villa, this property was exactly what I had in mind. Large and comfortable, with a gorgeous pool, secluded in our own olive grove. Perfect for lazing around by the pool, spritzes under the pergola, or short day trips to Arezzo and Siena. The most amazing scenery all around us. There is a mountain bike trail for those that dare to ride in the magnificent surroundings. The villa has a well appointed kitchen and excellent wifi. You won’t want to leave. Valentin is easy to contact and quick to respond, a delight to deal with. I wouldn’t hesitate to return to this blissful villa 😀

Great house - also for winter vacation
We spent two weeks in this house over Christmas/New Year and experienced it as spacious and cozy. Kitchen, living room, bathrooms are well submitted, regarding the beds there is some room for improvement. We especially appreciated that from the house beautiful walks can be taken. Arezzo, Siena and other typical Tuscan small towns can be reached by car in a short time. The access road is a bit rough but doable. The rental went smoothly, all appliances, heating and the fireplace worked fine. We thank Valentin for the always prompt and pleasant contact by mail.

Schön aber mit Abstrichen
Das Haus liegt wirklich fantastisch. Man hat einen tollen Blick ins Tal und ist umgeben von wunderschönern Olivenbäumen. Die Alleinlage bringt es natürlich auch mit sich, das es keine Infrastruktur rundherum gibt. Das ist selbstverständlich kein Nachteil, man muss es nur wissen. Der Pool ist sehr groß, war uns allerdings etwas zu kalt. Das Haus ist groß und hat eine schöne Aufteilung. Ehrlich gesagt war aber alles nicht besonders sauber. Die Spülmaschine ist nicht mehr in der Lage das Geschirr noch wirklich sauber zu kriegen und ansonsten war auch vieles mit Flecken versehen oder anderweitig schmutzig. Schade, da das den Gesamteindruck dieses tollen Hauses leider schmälert.

Wunderbar entspannende Ferien im Grünen
Das Haus hatte alles, was wir uns für einen Familienurlaub wünschen: Einen großen tollen Pool, eine gemütliche Terrasse, eine gut ausgestattete Küche, bequeme Betten,.. Man ist mitten in der Natur, kann aber wunderbare Ausflüge nach Arezzo, Siena oder Florenz machen. Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter war super!

Nettes Haus in totaler Einsamkeit
Wir waren mit 5 Erwachsenen und einem Kleinkind für 2 Wochen Gast in diesem Haus. Die Anreise ist sehr abenteuerlich, aber nach ein paar Mal verliert die Schotterpiste ihren anfänglichen Schrecken und ist auch mit einem Tesla Model Y gut befahrbar. Valentin ist sehr hilfsbereit und organisierte aus der Ferne sofortige Hilfe bei Strom- und Wasserausfall nach schwerem Gewitter. Wie in jedem Ferienhaus geht eine ganze Menge kaputt und hier müsste schon etwas Geld wieder in die Hand genommen werden. Alles in allem waren wir zufrieden und genossen die Zeit in völliger Stille. Der Pool ist super.

Toller urlaub
Im Großen und Ganzen ein toller und gelungener Aufenthalt. EinTolles Haus mit sehr wohnlichem Interieur und ausreichender Ausstattung in der Küche Die Betten waren unfassbar bequem! Der pool war sehr sehr schön und groß und bot genug platz zum schwimmen und spielen. Die Anfahrt ist sehr abenteuerlich. Ein kleinerer Fahrweg mitten durch den Wald. Mit tieferen autos hat der Unterboden eventuell ein kleines Problem. Mit größeren autos sollte das aber kein problem darstellen. Das einzige was am Haus zu bemängeln wäre war die Sauberkeit beim einchecken. Es war zwar ordentlich aber z.B. Duschkabinen und Duschkopf waren echt nicht sauber und die Spinnweben und Staub an der Wand waren auch nicht erst seit gestern da. Aber wie schon gesagt alles in allem ist es ein wunsderschönes Haus und ich kann es sehr weiterempfehlen.

zwei erholsame Wochen
Wir - 5 Erwachsene - haben zwei erholsame Wochen auf Tartaruga verbracht. Das Haus liegt sehr ruhig und schön, die Außenanlage ist sehr gepflegt, die Ausstattung der Küche ist gut und hinreichend, die Betten sind gut, die Bäder sind allerdings etwas klein. An die Ameisen im Haus kann man sich gewöhnen. Die Zufahrt ist etwas abenteuerlich. Unsere Ausflüge nach Civitella, Arezzo, Sansepolcro, Cortona, Lucignano, Pienza und S. Antimo und schließlich Orvieto waren unsere kulturellen Highlights (Piero della Francesca und Luca Signorelli, etruskische Museen.....) Eine Erleichterung wäre es, wenn eine Aufstellung mit wesentlichen Erläuterungen für den Mieter gäbe, z.B zur Mülltrennung und Müllabfuhr.

La Toscane à son meilleur
Emplacement magnifique. Très jolie maison confortable et spacieuse. Le calme de la campagne de Toscane à son meilleur. Les instructions pour s’y rendre gagneraient à être plus claires. Après avoir cherché pendant près de 45 minutes un gentil monsieur a communiqué avec le jardinier qui lui a expliqué comment se rendre à la villa. Il a dû nous accompagner tellement c’était compliqué. Certains équipements de la maison ne fonctionnaient pas bien (toilette au rez de chaussée et 2 brûleurs de la cuisinière).

A very nice place to be
We had a pleasant and wonderful time with eight adults (parents + 6 young people between 20 and 26) in Civitella in Val di Chiana. The location has a nice swimming pool where we spent some time. From the cottage there are many opportunities for walking and cycling to nice places; Monte San Savino, Lucignano and many more picturesque villages nearby. The garden and the swimming pool are neatly maintained every week by the employees of poolgarden. The cottage looks very neat and actually offers everything you need. We like to cook ourselves and there were plenty of things available for that too. Our host Valentin was quick to respond to our questions and get us well on our way. Thank you for the hospitality and opportunity to stay in such a beautiful place. A place that we want to recommend to everyone!

Wunderbarer Ort für einen Familienurlaub
Wir waren für zwei Wochen Gäste in diesem wunderschönen Haus in den Bergen zwischen Oliveto und Civitella. Ein tolles Grundstück, ein sehr schönes und gut eingerichtetes Haus und dazu ein sensationeller Pool, den wir sehr ausgiebig genutzt haben. Wir waren fünf Personen, die Eltern, zwei erwachsene Söhne und die Freundin. Uns war es wichtig, dass wir mindestens drei gleichwertige Schlafzimmer und drei Bäder zur Verfügung haben. Tatsächlich sind es sogar vier Schlafzimmer. Die Schlafzimmer, die Küche und das Wohnzimmer sind sehr ansprechend ausgestattet. Hinzu kommt die große Terrasse mit dem großen Esstisch und oberhalb des Pools eine schattige Pergola. Wenn der Kühlschrank voll ist, dann gibt es keinen Grund das Haus jemals zu verlassen :). Wenn der Kühlschrank gefüllt werden muss, dann ist man allerdings mindestens eine Viertelstunde bis zur nächsten Einkaufsmöglichkeit unterwegs. Das Problem ist dabei nicht die Entfernung, sondern die Tatsache, dass man zuerst 1,5 Kilometer auf recht staubigen Feldwegen fahren muss, bis man eine asphaltierte Straße erreicht. Mit einem normalen PKW kein Problem. Für die Besitzer eines Sportwagens mit wenig Bodenfreiheit wird es allerdings problematisch. Die Umgebung hat unglaublich viel zu bieten. Arezzo ist nahe und sehr sehenswert, Siena, Montepulciano und Florenz sind ebenfalls in etwa 90 Minuten erreichbar. Highlight für uns war der Besuch von Assisi mit anschließendem Badeaufenthalt am Lago Trasimeno. Wir haben es geliebt!
