Casa Apparita

Situated in the pretty countryside on the edge of Castiglion Fiorentino (2km), Casa Apparita is a charming country house that offers families and groups a comfortable and welcoming place for a great holiday whether the intention is to while away the days by the pool or explore the area that is rich in history, nature and art.  

The spacious grounds of Casa Apparita cover two levels, the upper being home to the main house, dining terrace with wood oven (essential for homemade pizzas), and table tennis amidst the olive grove. Steps wind their way down to the lower garden where mature plants and trees form a secluded spot for the pool, with glimpses through to the nearby vineyards and hills. A poolside suite provides accommodation for those seeking a little extra independence whilst being part of the group.

Casa Apparita’s interior is classic in style with traditional features such as beamed ceilings and deep red cotto tiles. Antique wood furniture stands the test of time and in true Italian style, the kitchen is dominated by a long table made of chestnut.

Amongst the list of things to do, tennis enthusiasts will appreciate the access to a nearby tennis court (shared exclusively with four other properties) and walkers will enjoy discovering the local paths through the countryside. An hour’s drive will take you to the famous Chianti villages, Siena, Montepulciano and over the hills to Città di Castello and Sansepolcro. Not forgetting, of course, the jewels on the doorstep, Arezzo (18km), Cortona (13km) and the hidden gem itself, Castiglion Fiorentino, where restaurants and shops sit amongst a treasure trove of history.
