say immediately that the pictures on the website do not do the accommodation
justice - it's much better in reality!

This recently renovated spectacular villa
is set in the hillsides close to Arezzo and is majestic.
It got its name from the truffle estate surrounding the villa, making
it famous in the area and wonderful for seeing how truffles are found
and of course how to prepare these in many wonderful dishes. The original
villa dates back to before 1700 and we suspect it was a chapel and
over the centuries pieces have been added on as the community grew
and recently the owners have bought it up to the twenty first century
with top class finishing, beautiful floors with marble inlay, marble
bathrooms and all the modern comforts without damaging the beautiful
original Tuscan charm.The villa is very secluded with a view that
seems to go on forever but yet close to Arezzo (15 minutes) and Cortona
(30minutes) and Florence and Siena are about an hour away. The villa
lies on an estate of about 120 hectare and the villa is surrounded
by truffle land which grows under Hazelnut and Oak trees. Apple orchards
and a Deer farm are also part of the estate and make walks around
the area truly beautiful.Behind the villa is a lake with breathtaking
views of the surrounding hills.
The villa has 12 double bedrooms all with en-suite bathrooms. In the
“Torre” (tower) part of the villa there are five bedrooms
all en-suite with bath and shower and a large communal lounge with
a computer, internet access area, kitchenette and television.
In the west wing there are three suites each with two or three
bedrooms en-suite and each with a lounge area for communal use. The
accommodation has been comfortably furnished with great attention
for detail. All the romantic bedrooms have adjoining stylish marbled
bathrooms with bath and shower.If you are a group of 3 your more we can arrange you have your own private suite with two or three bedrooms depending on your accommodation requirements.

outdoor area has many different possibilities. The "piazza"
is set up between the Torre wing and the west wing of the villa and
the two wings are connected with an arch where breakfast will be served
and dinners if weather permits.
The cantina, bar, dining room and lounge open out in this square making
it a wonderful space to meet and dine together. The view will make
you speechless! From the Piazza you can walk 20 meters down to the
