Holiday Villa With Swimming Pool In Arezzo.

The owner clearly takes great pride in the house and providing his guests with a wonderful experience. The beauty of the grounds surrounding the house cannot be overstated. The house has everything you need to make it your home- comfortable living room and outdoor seating, a well stocked kitchen, and a sun porch that will forever be one of my favorite places to enjoy a stunning view, friends, family, and a good meal. I consider myself lucky to stay there.

There were 11 of us staying at Andrea's villa – and it was just perfect!The house offers an incredible amount of space, complete privacy, a fantastic view, and beautiful surroundings. The hot tub and pool were a highlight and were used a lot by everyone. The house was excellently equipped and we longed for nothing. Andrea's warm hospitality is also particularly noteworthy: he was always available, gave us great restaurant recommendations, and even reserved tables for us. The cute resident cat Luna stole our hearts and quickly became part of our holiday experience.All in all, it was an unforgettable stay that we can wholeheartedly recommend. Many thanks to Andrea—we would love to come back!

This was our second time staying at this property. Everything was excellent as usual. Andrea is always helpful with suggestions. Cooking class was fun and dinner to follow was amazing.We will be back.

We had a superb stay which exceeded our expectations. Andrea the host was very kind and welcoming, the house very complete with all requirements and the views fantastic.

We enjoyed every minute of our stay! The house is beautiful, as well as the garden and the swimming pool. Andrea and Francesca are excellent hosts and amazing cooks. We have had the best dinners, no restaurants needed! We really recommend staying at Villa Carda for a fantastic holiday!

Tuscany has been on our bucket list for a long time. Similar to a previous review, we had planned to visit Tuscany in May of 2020 and this was our make up trip. It was worth the wait. The property was ideal. We stayed three weeks and had family and friends visiting over different periods. Andrea is a great host. We enjoyed the property immensely. Our three grandkids played and frolicked in the yard. We had massive hide and seek games. The property is so immense that my granddaughter remarked,” I have never seen so much earth”. We also enjoyed the pool and spa. Andrea’s wife, Francesca, provided two pasta making and dinner classes for different guests. The tiramisu and molten chocolate cakes were a huge hit. Her ragu sauce was delicious and she made a vegetable and tomato sauce for our friends that are pescatarians. Everyone had a great time making fresh pasta. Francesca is an outstanding and credentialed chef. We also did pizza making in the pizza oven. 9 of us almost devoured 14 pizzas. They were outstanding. We visited Florence and Lucca by train through Arezzo. By car we visited Cortona, Gubbio, Poppi, the monestary at La Verna, San Gimignano, Siena, and Lake Trasimeno. There are several very good restaurants in Rassina, about 8 minutees away by car and a wonderful local restaurant in Castel Focognano called Nonna Giuditta. It was only open on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights.We walked there and back from the villa. it is about 2 kilometers. Andrea is a great host.

My family of 12 stayed here for two weeks. We were supposed to come in May 2020, but the trip was cancelled due to covid. So we were ecstatic to finally be able to make the trip work in 2023. The property is stunning and the house is amazing with so many amenities to enjoy. Everyone (kids, spouses) had their own bedroom to enjoy along with private bath. We never felt crowded or on top of each other. We loved the separate spa/exercise room, the pool, and the wine cellar! Andrea was a great host and very responsive to all our questions and needs. He and his wife even cooked a fabulous Italian meal for us at the home to celebrate my niece's 16th birthday. The location was great and we were able to visit many wonderful towns and cities, as well as enjoy many relaxing days at the villa. Andrea, thank you for sharing your family home with us and your little piece of heaven in ITALY, it will be a trip we never forget!

We were a group of 12 family members in an age range from 1 to 71… We were all in heaven for the 14 days of our stay. The villa is simply magnificent and the pictures posted don’t do justice to the reality of the place. We were all able to have private moments or be all together without feeling that there was a lack of privacy… We all enjoyed immensely this villa. My older grandsons could play soccer in the park as much as they wanted while the 3 year old could try to play with the ball. As for the 1 year old, she was able to see her brother and cousins playing together in a safe way ! Andrea was an extremely attentive host always able to answer all our questions and arrange for reservations for dinner at a restaurant or to visit local winery. He was always very discreet and would come on a daily basis to make sure that everything was going well. He was never intrusive and always respectful of us. If you rent this villa, make sure to reserve in advance for the wonderful meals that are catered by Andrea and his lovely wife, Francesca. We had them for 3 nights and we enjoyed 3 very different menus…they were all so extremely good and well prepared. When they leave, the kitchen is immaculate ! The villa is extremely clean and lovingly tended…you can feel that a lot of love went into its changes over the years. All the beds are extremely confortable and the linens and towels are very high quality as well ! If you need anything, you can always ask Andrea. I wish to be back!

Property and the owners greatly exceeded out expectations. It is up in the hills and way from the small town by about 1 mile, but the property is like being in your own park. Set on about 6 acres with property and the pool on the top of a hill is was an incredibly beautiful setting. For us it was a base camp, as we took side trips to Rome, Venice, Pisa and Florence. But we always came back to peace and quiet, to recharge our batteries. With having 4 different families the sleeping quarters were great. We each had our own sleeping quarters, close but separate. And the indoor/outdoor dining, where we gathered to eat was wonderful. We had 2 evening meals catered by Andrea and his wife Francesca, that were outstanding. It was the celebration of 50 years of marriage and to have our whole family with us, was wonderful. For us, it was the perfect setting and the place was adorable. We have traveled all over the world, but this villa will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Fabulous stay at this lovely property. Recommend Francesca and Andrea's catering-fantastic. Given the situation in 2020 was delight to manage to get away for 2 weeks. Thoroughly recommend this property.
