Villa Cecilia is an old farmhouse dating back to before 1800. You will find it perched on a hill in the heart of the Valdichiana, about 4 km from Castiglion Fiorentino, a characteristic village where you will find shops, restaurants, supermarkets and all necessities.
The farmhouse has been recently and carefully restored under the careful guidance of the owners, who strongly wished to maintain its ancient origins and characteristics. The original terracotta tiled floors, the high ceilings with wooden beams, all coordinated with quality furnishings, with fine antiques, are a perfect match for the characteristics of the villa. You will feel a sense of warmth at the villa, you will feel welcomed and pampered, perfectly in harmony with your surroundings.
The history of the farmhouse is also fascinating. In ancient times, the Valdichiana was a swamp and before the land reclamation took place, its waters lapped the land of the property and just a few steps from the house there was a small harbour for boats that connected by water to the surrounding villages.
Today the villa is part of a farm that includes vineyards, cereal crops, farmyard animals and beautiful horses. About 1 km away, at the owners' residence, you will be able to enjoy the organic produce from their vegetable garden free of charge. Their paddocks, should you travel with your horses, will be at your disposal (service available for a fee).
Around the villa, you will enjoy a large, completely fenced green space (1.80 m high wire mesh) perfect for your morning or evening walks even with your four-legged friends.  Inside the park there is also a woodland path (approx. 500 m) where you can relax, walk and organise cool snacks.
For your days at home, there is a beautiful infinity swimming pool (size 6x12 m, depth 1.35 m - open from 01 May to 30 September), with a Roman staircase, bicycles at your disposal, a beautiful porch well equipped with outdoor furniture, where you can enjoy a book or an aperitif in company, the barbecue for your cookouts and also games for your children.

    “We had a wonderful time at Villa Cecilia. Sonia and Elia were perfect hosts. We were welcomed with a basket of fresh veggies, a homemade bottle of wine and cake. The next day, Elia brought by some honey from his bees. Even for my husband‘s birthday, the brought by a gift.
    The house was spotless and the property well taken care of. Plenty of toys for children - and adults! So dog and kid friendly. We absolutely recommend staying there in any family constellation. We had young children (three and 10 months) and everything we needed was taken care of. And more. Sonia and Elia really went above and beyond what we expected.”

    “We are a family of four (2 adults & 2 teenagers) who have had a most wonderful holiday for two weeks at this beautiful villa. On our arrival the lovely owners Sonia & Elia were there to greet us, showing us around the villa & all it has to offer. We had fresh produce & wine ( which is made by Elia & is delicious) from their farm., which is a few minutes away so should any problems arise they are close by. The villa is spotless, spacious, comfortable and furnished with antiques (they own an antique shop in Arezzo). The gardens around the Villa are stunning and huge, so much space for children (& dogs should you bring any) We had lovely days by the fantastic pool and lovely evenings lounging in the lovely seating areas outside after a barbecue, watching the bats which roost behind the shutters during the day. This villa is a great location for visiting nearby towns such as Castiglion Fiorentino (nearest with supermarkets, restaurants & train station) Cortona & Arezzo, Sienna is about 50 minutes drive (stunning city) & we travelled to Florence by train which is very simple to use.
    Overall, should we visit this part of the country again we would most definitely come back to this stunning villa.”
