Location
This beautiful stone farmhouse is surrounded by a private garden with stunning countryside views, close to places of interest and approximately 40 minutes' drive from Florence, Arezzo and Siena, making this property a perfect place from which to enjoy three of the cities most beautiful and important in Tuscany.
The property for sale sits on the edge of the village of Loro Ciuffenna, a fortified medieval town awarded the title of "The most beautiful Borgo in Italy" in 2018. Sitting abreast a mountain stream, the two sides of the historic centre are united by a series of stone bridges which create a truly unique atmosphere. A town in which art, history, traditions and food and wine coexist and intertwine, at the slow rhythm of the days marked by the clock of the civic tower. Loro Ciuffena offers authentic restaurants, bakeries, banks, pharmacy and a couple of bars for a morning cappuccino or evening aperitivo.
