heart of Tuscany. It was built at the end of the 16th century and has been
beautifully renovated by the current owners, respecting the original
architecture and using quality materials such as marble for the splendid
floors and pietra serena for the decor, for some bathrooms and for the
imposing staircase that connects the three floors of the villa. Each room
has been extremely well curated, with great attention to detail, to give
guests moments of peace and relaxation in an elegant and refined, but at
the same time warm and welcoming, environment. Located on a small hill,
about 250 m above sea level, it is the ideal place for those who dream of a
historic villa with a touch of modernity, in a quiet location surrounded by
greenery and by a park of centuries-old holm oaks, where you can enjoy long
peaceful walks immersed in the silence of nature. However, all amenities
that will make your stay at Antica Villa Merelli unforgettable are present,
including air conditioning in the bedrooms. This splendid property consists
of the main villa of about 800 sq m, an annex divided into 2 apartments of
100 sq m each, a large rectangular, 25 m-long pool with an infinity side,
salt purification and relaxation areas, a synthetic-grass tennis court,
pleasant outdoor areas where you can relax and admire the surrounding
countryside, a gazebo adorned with scented climbing jasmine and set up with
tables between the villa and the swimming pool. In front of the main
entrance is another large table under the shade of centuries-old holm oaks,
perfect for pleasant alfresco meals. Here the love for art can be felt
everywhere and it is an important element that is also found in the
magnificent fresco, recently created by a local artist in the beautiful
entrance hall on the ground floor of the villa: a scale reproduction of one
of the frescoes that make up the very important cycle of the “Legend of the
True Cross” (which can be visited in Arezzo) one of the highest expressions
of Italian art, the work of the great artist Piero della Francesca. Another
important testimony to the owners' artistic passion is the decoration of
all the doors of the main villa: each one is unique and hand painted by
local artists with different reproductions of famous Italian and European
works of art. The villa is situated in an excellent position, halfway
between the picturesque medieval borgo of Monte San Savino and the splendid
town of Arezzo, only 16 km away, where you can visit the historic town
centre rich in history and charm with many shops and excellent restaurants
where you can sample the delicacies of Tuscan cuisine. Leaving from the
Arezzo railway station, on the main Rome-Florence line, you can get to
Florence in just an hour or visit other tourist attractions in the area.
Just 8 km from the property is the Monte San Savino exit of the A1
motorway, the Autostrada del Sole. Splendid tourist localities to visit
include Florence, Siena, Arezzo, Cortona, Chianti, Montepulciano,
Montalcino, Rapolano Terme (with its regenerating spas), and the area of

for all your needs. ANTICA VILLA MERELLI HAS BEEN SUBJECTED TO A CHECK-UP
