Rent Villa Appalto Italy

Villa Appalto is a sumptuous Leopoldina type home sitting in the hills of Tuscany. This type of farmhouse was introduced in the 18th century by the Grand Duke of Tuscany in order to improve living standards of the local farmers. During your stay, you can experience the charms and comforts of the Leopoldina for yourself, a fantastic base for exploring the surrounding towns.

This elegant farmhouse, dating back to the 1700s, exudes timeless charm and offers a picturesque retreat. Divided into two distinct dwellings – the main house and an annexe within the grounds – this residence seamlessly combines traditional allure with modern comforts.

The main house unfolds with interlinking living spaces, fostering a warm and inviting atmosphere. The living room, adorned with plush sofas and a fireplace, sets the stage for cozy gatherings. A well-equipped, light-filled kitchen, complete with a dining table, becomes a central hub for tucking in to delicious evening meals. In the next room, an additional TV room provides a snug space for reading and relaxation, while a convenient shower room completes this floor.

Throughout the entire home, traditional details such as ceiling beams, brick archways, tiled floors, and fireplaces contribute to its timeless ambiance. Whitewashed walls harmonise with modern amenities like Wi-Fi and TVs, creating a seamless blend of old-world elegance and contemporary convenience.
Ascending the staircase unveils three spacious bedrooms on the upper level. A double bedroom boasts an en-suite shower room, while a triple bedroom and another double bedroom share a well-appointed family bathroom.

The garden is a true highlight of this residence, offering an oasis of tranquillity with its sweeping lawns and various dining areas for group gatherings in the sun. Overlooking nearby farmland, the garden has a wonderful private swimming pool, providing an idyllic setting for leisurely afternoons and refreshing dips.

For those seeking a private escape, the annexe in the garden offers an intimate hideaway. Featuring a sitting area, a fully equipped kitchen with a dining table, a double-sized bedroom, and an inviting shower room, this annexe provides a secluded space, separate from the main group.
