Fattoria di Arsicci, your home in Italy.

A great house in a fabulous location in the mountains. It's a 20 minute drive to any shops or cafes but that means it is really quiet (apart from the sound of cow bells. The house has lots of rooms, many games and an excellent pool.

This is the 4th year we have been to stay at this property. It is absolutely stunning, very comfortable, large grounds, great pool and games and very relaxing. Perfect for our group reunion. Paolo is very helpful and welcoming and Guissepina is the best cook i have ever come across. Can't recommend it highly enough.

We have been many places all over Italy, but your house in Arsicci is beyond any doubt the loveliest place we have ever stayed. The beautiful old house filled with interesting things to look at, each bedroom with its own atmosphere and personality, the chilled basement filled with entertainment like the pool table for the warm evenings and an amazing kitchen to cook big family dinners in. And the surrounding garden - or rather, park - was such a luxury during the day with plenty of shade, and in the nights almost turning into a fairytale garden filled with fireflies!

Located in the sleepy mountain village of Arsicci, this converted farmhouse is perfect for a large family gathering. With panoramic views across the surrounding mountain landscape dotted with farms and hamlets, the silence is interrupted only by the distant clang of cows bells, and the atmosphere is very Sound of Music. The house is comfortable, practical, and full of character. It's well equipped and has more or less everything you could need from pool towels to barbecue, although a microwave might be a useful addition. The pool and large gardens are very well maintained, and there are plenty of places to sit and read, or just kick back, do nothing, and take in the scenery. There are one or two small villages nearby, and the closest supermarket is in Pieve Santo Stefano, a small town about 20 minutes drive away. If you want to do some exploring, Paolo, our host, gave us some very useful pointers on places of interest, and what to see in the locality. Sansepolcro, a 35 minute drive away, is the nearest large town. A stroll around it's old quarter is a relaxing way to spend an afternoon. You would need to set aside a full day for trips further afield such as Florence or Siena. One of the highlights of our two week stay was the meals prepared by Giuseppena, a local lady who looks after the house. Before your eyes, she will conjure up some wonderful local dishes for dinner - a great option if you want to take a break from cooking. A beautiful setting and an ideal house for a relaxing family holiday.

A beautiful and comfortable home in which nothing was missing! Surrounded by a forest and a wonderful natural environment. Great attention and very close people which is always ready to assist you. Definitely a home that is ideal for enjoyment and relaxation.

We spent 2 wonderful weeks in Arsicci. We discovered Toscany outside the usual touristic roads, but it was worth. And the house was so nice, that it was difficult to hit the road and visit some of the wonders of Toscany like Assisi. We particularly appreciated the view on the mountains from the swimming pool, the pool table (for our evenings) and the big park. But above all what we really liked was Paolo's hospitality and Josepina's kindness. Everything was perfect. We really recommend this property.

A perfect holiday destination. Beautiful, peaceful location. The house is gorgeous and very well kept. The local housekeeper looks after you amazingly and will happily cook delicious meals when requested. There is also excellent correspondence with the owner. Facilities brilliant with lovely pool, table tennis and billiards - perfect for families. We are returning for the 4th year in a row.
