Imagine waking up to the gentle Tuscan breeze, savoring a morning coffee on your private terrace overlooking magnificent mountain vistas. The beauty that unfolds before you is nothing short of awe-inspiring, offering a visual symphony that nourishes the soul. Find solace in the stunning scenery, where every glance serves as a reminder of the natural wonders that surround you. Villa Cicogna's strategic location makes it an ideal base for exploring the treasures of Tuscany. Discover the cultural magnificence of Florence, lose yourself in the romantic streets of Siena, and indulge in the flavors of the renowned Chianti region. From art and architecture to culinary delights and wine tasting, the possibilities for exploration are endless. But Villa Cicogna is more than just a place to stay; it's an experience that touches the depths of your being. We are delighted to invite you on our journey to ... Escape to the Villa! We are offering guests the opportunity to experience our little piece of Tuscany. There are 5 brms sleeping 2 - 10 guests. All the bedrooms, the 3 bathrooms, a kitchen/diner and living room are upstairs in your private apartment. On street level, leading to the enormous sun drenched terrace, there is a large living/games room. We currently have a 5m round, above ground, pool. There is a BBQ, seating and shaded areas with panoramic views of the Valley. Only about 10 mins off the A1 motorway, it’s very peaceful here in our little village. And if you wanted to visit the bigger cities ... Rome, Milan, Bologna it's easy access back to the motorway. In 15 mins you are in the heart of the Chianti wine region and on your way to Siena, Montepulciano, San Gimignano and beyond. The Valdarno Valley is nestled between Florence and Arezzo, stepped in history and nature ... and off the beaten path so it's quiet. The owners have their own apartment on the ground floor - the terrace and pool is NOT shared with the owners. Privacy assured.

We met here in Cicogna in 2004 ... and fell in love with the simple pleasures of rural Tuscany. Returning year on year with our family, it was a dream come true when the opportunity arose for us to have our own villa in 2016. It took a few years but we finalised the purchase at the end of 2019 and intend to create a luxury holiday villa and event venue space on the terrace and spectacular wine cellar. We now split our time between our property in Masham in North Yorkshire and here in Italy. Feel free to ask us to recommend the off the beaten path places for you to discover on your own ... see you here soon.

We are located in the centre of Tuscany, in a little village called Cicogna which is about and hr south of Florence and 45mins from Siena. We usually fly to Pisa and collect a rental car from there and it’s about an hr and a half drive. Or of course fly to Florence. You can walk to our local shop for daily bread and groceries or the local town is just 5 mins drive down the hill. Cycling is great around here too with annual races coming up the hill past our property which is a great spectacle.
