VILLA BUONARROTI

VILLA BUONARROTI

Sleeps 12
Bedrooms 6, Bathrooms 6
Pian di Scò, Arezzo – Tuscany, Italy

This villa is part of an ancient pilgrimage retreat built during the XV century that comprehends other houses and makes up a historical hamlet that has been restored with the concept of blending the environment and culture of its heritage.
This villa offers complete privacy thanks to its architectural design, while guests can choose to participate in the hamlet’s life, including a series of common areas such as a theatre, library, and private restaurant.
The interior design results from a classic yet renovated style with original handmade terracotta floors and wood-beamed ceilings. Elements of classic Italian architecture are combined with contemporary touches such as LED lights set in antique lamp holders, steel kitchens in industrial style, and the bathroom’s design inspired by the feeling of modern life.

Materials, such as travertine marble, serene stone, and wood features have been sourced locally.  New-fashioned yet very comfortable, this is a contemporary retreat with an elegant aura and a welcoming vibe, blending traditional and modern Italian architecture with a solid eco-friendly accent.
