Amazing countryside villa with private pool in Tuscany between Arezzo & Florence

Tuscan villa in the countryside, a short walk from the old town of Stia, a characteristic medieval village. Villa situated in quiet and panoramic position, with all the amenities. Ability to make cooking lessons (on request), or simply to have a cook for a typical Tuscan dinner in the villa (must try!)

Entering from the automatic gate, an elegant road with cypresses will lead you to our Tuscan Villa.
In front of the house there’s a large terrace where you have a beautiful outdoor dining area. There are also several trees around that keep the terrace fresh and shady in hot summer days.

The pool is located in a panoramic position. There are chairs, tables and umbrellas in sufficient quantity for the whole group.

“Il Cuculo” is a 3 storey Villa. The living room is on the ground floor and it’s really spacious and full of light.. Here you find a fire place, a HDMI1 TV, player and a SATELLITE TV.

There are 2 kitchens in the Villa, furnished with all modern facilities: refrigerator, dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster, electrical oven, wood over for pizza and a washing machine.

The kitchen is equipped for everything you need for cooking: plates, glasses and pottery in large quantity.

On the 1st floor you find 5 bedrooms which can be reached by a beautiful internal staircase or an external one from the garden terrace.

The master room has a private balcony and 3 arched windows. It is about 40 squared meters so we can add also another double bed (sofa bed).

On the first floor there are two more double rooms and a single room.

There is one more bedroom on the first floor with a fold out double bed, but it’s a walk-trough room if you want to reach the second floor you have to pass it.

On the 2nd floor there’s a mansard room with both a single bed and a double bed. This can be also changed in two single beds on request (so 3 beds here). There is also an ensuite-toilet with shower here.

The 4 toilets are all tiled with coloured Italian ceramics (1 toilet on the ground floor, 1 toilet with shower on the 1st floor, 1 bathroom on the 1st floor and 1 toilet with shower on the second floor).

So there are 380 squared meters inside the Villa and 1000 squared meter outside.
14 beds available.

Perfect family holiday
The villa was perfect for our family holiday. Super short walk into town with our young kids and such a peaceful and relaxing place overall. Lucia was absolutely incredible and went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. We will definitely be back!

Spacious house with full Tuscany experience
We had a great time in the house. It was very clean and spacious. We enjoyed the nice pool area, the pizza oven and the amazing views from the different terraces. You will find everything you need in walking distance in Stia and can also enjoy the beautiful nature around. On top of that Lucia was a great host.

Tuscany small town charm - Il Cuculo
Our Stia stay was exactly what we were looking for as a family of 2 grandparents, 4 adult children and 2 grandchildren, age 2 and infant, plus 3 other adults at times. We enjoyed a walkable town and excursions throughout Tuscany. Lucia was top notch and made our two weeks extraordinary - she booked a private chef, a pizza night at the home pizza oven, suggested wineries and helped with some transportation needs. She was attentive to all our requests! It's a beautiful property with a lovely pool and home. Florence and Arezzo are an hour away but there are many places to explore. The house accomodated our large group. The beds were hard but we really enjoyed our stay and recommend.

Rustic large house, great pool, close to hikes and village
We were a family group of 7 so had plenty of room. The standout was the lovely well-maintained pool with large surrounds for sun loungers. All in a large private garden. The house is basic but well equipped. The internet was intermittent. An evening breeze keeps the house cool despite the very hot temperatures when we were there. It's a windy scenic drive from Florence but a world away from the crowds with a lovely old square to walk to and enjoy morning coffee and pastry. An authentic experience. We had a great time at "Il Cucolo".

Great Family holiday
My family and I recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful villa.The villa provided an ideal setting for our extended family holiday, accommodating all of us with ease. The location of the villa was fantastic, nestled ijust the village of Stia that was just a pleasant walk away. We enjoyed the shops, bars, and restaurants in the area. The surroundings were undeniably beautiful, with picturesque views that made us feel truly immersed in the tranquility of the countryside. One of the standout features of the villa was its spaciousness, making it perfect for a large group. The house itself was well-designed and felt like a family home rather than a ‘beige’ holiday rental. The kitchen was exceptionally well-equipped, providing everything we needed for a large group. We particularly loved the brilliant pizza ovenand spinny outside dining table The kitchen equipment was impressive. We found everything from utensils to appliances, ensuring that cooking and dining at the villa were an absolute pleasure. Whether we were preparing a feast or simply enjoying a morning coffee, the kitchen had us covered. It is worth noting that having a car is essential when staying at this villa, as it served as an excellent base for exploring the surrounding areas. We appreciated the convenience of being able to easily reach nearby attractions and take day trips to nearby towns. Lastly, we cannot speak highly enough of Lucia, the host of the villa. She was incredibly friendly and

Everything was perfekt!
We had an amazing time at this beautiful house. Stia is a cue city and everything is reachable in walking distance. Pool and view is great, an the fully integrated Pizza Oven was one of my favorites. The House was clean and the owner very friendly and helpful!

Liked: Listing accuracy
Nur die Größe des Hauses war toll
Das Haus war sehr schön gross aber Zum Haus gelangt man nur mit einem hohen Auto , mit einem normalen PKW setzt man auf und reist sich den Unterboden des Autos kaputt. Die Möbel sind sehr sehr alt , die Betten zusammen gehalten von Panzertape. Von 6 Schlafzimmern ,wie beschrieben, sind nur 5 vollständige Zimmer, 1 Zimmer ist ein Durchgangszimmer mit klappriger Couch zum Bett umgebaut!! Die Kamin Couch überzogen , weil sie darunter komplett kaputt war. Unter der Wohnzimmer Couch 3. Nester mit vollen Spinnen Eiern ( wenn es geht füge ich Bilder hinzu) , haben erstmal das Haus von Spinnen , Ameisen und anderen krabbel Tierchen befreit und das nach 16 Stunden Autofahrt. Im Inserat stand Wäschetrockner und Badewanne, leider waren diese nicht vorhanden!! Weit ab von größeren Städten man braucht 1 Stunde vom Berg runterzufahren!! Leider sehen die Bilder besser ( bearbeit ) aus als in Wahrheit!! Das Grundstück auch sehr ungepflegt, viel Unkraut und der Weg zum Pool ein Abenteuer mit klapprigen Steinen !! Für den Preis für 9 Übernachtungen waren wir enttäuscht 😞

Absolutely perfect and authentic Italian
Such a beautiful and authentic villa. A setting no less than perfect for a proper stay in the Italian country side. Just a 10-minute walk from Stia and yet fully private. Lucia was the perfect host - always willing and able to help with any questions we had. We've been spending holidays in Italy for near on 20 years, always agri turismo and this place is up there among the very best. Five-star ratings from me are few and far between, but Lucia and her place definitely earns all five stars.

Stia Stay

Excellent séjour
Nous avons passé un magnifique séjour en famille. La maison est très bien équipée, tout particulièrement dans la cuisine. La grande table ronde sous la terrasse nous a permis de partager tous nos repas en famille, à l’ombre. Lucia était très réactive aux messages que je lui ai transmis durant le séjour. Ses conseils étaient précieux. Je recommande vivement ce magnifique lieu de vacances. Merci pour tout

Wunderschönes Haus in Stia
Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt in Stia!! Die Kommunikation mit Lucia verlief immer einwandfrei. Sie war sehr hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend. Das Haus ist sehr viel schöner und größer als im Inserat dargestellt. Außerdem ist man innerhalb von 1 1/2 Stunden in Florenz! Vom Haus überblickt man Stia und ist ganz für sich. Wir können das Haus nur weiterempfehlen!!

wunderschönes, geräumiges Haus mit toller Aussicht
wir trafen auf eine sehr freundliche, zuverlässige und in der Kommunikation und Interaktion völlig unkomplizierte Gastgeberin. Das Ein- und Auschecken hat sehr einfach geklappt, die Kommunikation dazu war präzise und verlässlich. Das Haus ist sehr schön ruhig und dennoch ortsnah gelegen, die Ortsmitte ist sogar in wenigen Minuten mit dem Rad oder zu Fuss erreichbar. Die Räume sind sauber, die Küchen sehr gut ausgestattet. Sogar den Pizzaofen haben wir in Gang bekommen und damit super Pizza selbst gemacht. Die Poolanlage komplettiert den Komfort, die Kinder hatten riesigen Spaß. Wir haben uns rundum sehr wohl gefühlt in diesem Domizil und kommen sehr gern wieder. Herzlichen Dank, Lucia für die Gelegenheit zu diesem sehr angenehmen Urlaubsaufenthalt! :-)

Traumurlaub in toller Umgebung!
Sehr schönes Objekt mit tollem Pool und einem grandiosen Pizzaofen in einer traumhaften Umgebung. Der kleine, schnuckelige Ort Stia mit netten Lokalen und Geschäften ist fußläufig zu erreichen, der Ort Arezzo ist ca. 50 Minuten mit dem Auto entfernt. Die Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin hat hervorragend funktioniert und das Haus ist auf jeden Fall eine Empfehlung wert.

Ein sehr schön gelegenes Haus auf einem tollen Grundstück. Alles gut in Schuss, viel, viel Platz auch für größere Gruppen. Die Vermieterin sehr nett und bemüht die Wünsche zu erfüllen. Der Ort Stia ist so, wie man sich ein Dorf in der Toskana vorstellt, vom Haus aus in wenigen Minuten zu Fuss erreichbar. Die Eisdiele ein Traum! Insgesamt ein glatte 1!!!

En perle i Italien
Vi havde en fantastisk uge i dette hus i Stia. Helt lukket park, med et dejligt hus og lækker pool. Det var meget nemt at skrive/ringe med Lucia, som har huset, og hvis der er brug for hjælp er hun der med det samme. Huset er perfekt til flere familier. Vi var 3, med et total på 13 personer. Stia er en lokal perle midt i Toscana stort set uden turister, og vi nød godt at deres dejlige mad og venlighed. Vi var 3, som havde cyklerne med og det kan godt anbefales, der er bakker nok :-) En perfekt ferie i et super hus. Thomas
