Villa Merelli is located on a quiet hilltop just a few kilometers from Arezzo, along the scenic road leading to Siena. Immersed in the greenery and peace of the Tuscan countryside, this 16th-century estate is one of the most historic and charming properties in the area.The property consists of three buildings: the main villa, approximately 800 sqm, and two annexes of about 200 sqm each, all surrounded by a 7,000 sqm park with centuries-old oak trees. Outdoors, you’ll find a 25-meter heated swimming pool, a synthetic grass tennis court, and a private parking area.At the villa’s entrance, guests are welcomed by a scaled reproduction of one of Piero della Francesca’s most famous frescoes, part of the Legend of the True Cross cycle. This is no coincidence—Villa Merelli once belonged to the Bacci family, renowned patrons of the artist.Over the centuries, two secondary buildings were added to the main structure, built using local materials such as stone and terracotta, perfectly blending into the natural landscape.The estate spans 6 hectares of land, including 1 hectare of vineyard, around 200 olive trees, and a small orchard with peach, apricot, apple, pear, fig, cherry, and walnut trees.The property is fully equipped with modern technology: a 30 kW photovoltaic system, a 50 kW condensing boiler, a 110-meter-deep well, a water softener connected to the mains supply, a heat pump, air conditioning, a 25 kW emergency generator, and WiFi throughout all buildings.All structures have been recently renovated according to anti-seismic regulations, with a complete overhaul of the electrical, plumbing, and heating systems. The interiors have been carefully restored to preserve the villa’s original character, featuring antique furnishings recovered from the property, wrought iron beds, traditional wooden windows with shutter bars, and handcrafted door decorations inspired by famous works of art and created by local artists.The main villa offers spacious and functional living areas: entrance hall, living room, dining room, Carrara marble kitchen, cloakroom, laundry room, large cellar, wood-fired oven, 12 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, a panoramic terrace, and a distinctive altana (a typical Tuscan rooftop lookout) in Leopoldine style.One of the annexes has been converted into two independent apartments, each with a living room, kitchen, bathroom, and two bedrooms.The second annex houses, on the ground floor, a fully equipped workshop with bathrooms and machinery such as a lathe and milling machine, while the upper floor features a large storage area with two additional bathrooms.Monte San Savino is a charming hilltop town nestled in the Valdichiana Valley, just 20 km from Arezzo. Rich in history, art, and tradition, it features a beautifully preserved historic center with Renaissance palaces, loggias, ancient churches, and medieval walls. The birthplace of renowned sculptor Andrea Sansovino, the town offers a high quality of life, scenic surroundings, and all essential services. Its strategic location between Arezzo, Siena, and Cortona makes it ideal both as a primary residence and as a holiday home in Tuscany.Arezzo 16 kmFlorence 78 kmLake Trasimeno 50 km
