Property Description

nature, calm, relax, Tuscany, mountainbiking

The holiday home provides space for 8 to 9 persons. It consists of 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms (with shower and partly with bidet) and kitchen, terrasse and garden. Bed-linen inclusive.

The idyllic hamlet of “Doccione di Sotto” which consists of three former farmer houses, is located in a quite remote are at 850 m s.l., at the end of the Vallesanta valley. The property is situated on the border of the Casentino National Park ( www.parcoforestecasentinesi.it ) in the midst of woods and fields. The Casentino lies between the upper valley of the Arno and Tiber rivers and is a picturesque area rich with Roman and Etruscan churches and. It is a green oasis on the edge of the Apennines, well known for its traditional trade such as iron, wood and stone work and the production of wool. The tourism develops slowly here, so that this area is still quite quiet. The capital of the province, Arezzo, once was founded by the Etruscans and is famous for its gold manufacture.

In our sparsely populated area, you will have wonderful views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. While enjoying the nature and silence hiking or bike riding you can discover the abundant flora and fauna. The surrounding consists of mainly oak, beech or chestnut forest, bordered with tilled and fallow fields . A wonderful refreshing swimming hole in the local river is only 10 min. by car.

Only about 30 minutes by car (14 km by foot) is Chiusi della Verna at the bottom of mountain Monte Penna on the south side there’s the Franciscan monastery La Verna. Saint Francis of Assisi lived and acted here and – according to the legend – he talked to the birds and received his stigmata in this place.

We carefully restored our old stone cottages. To the houses belongs a large lawn for playing, sun bathing, relaxing and to recover from the trips to the cultural centres, as well as a sauna. For year round comfort, the accommodation features wood central heating and during the summer months we use a solar hot water system. We moreover are producing solar electricity, so that our houses are carbon neutrally operated.
