Ca’ Valenzano - Self-catering apartments in Tuscany
Via Lucemburgo 11, 52038 Sestino, Arezzo
Tuscany,
Italia
You're tucked away here in the wooded hills on a lovely smallholding with chickens, cats, dogs and kind owners Alice and Gavin. Three little hideaways are in the pretty grounds: Piccionaia has a cosy living room with sofa bed and wood-burning stove, and a bedroom upstairs with swish bathroom below. Granaio is a stylish retreat with a sofa bed for extra guests and its own private terrace overlooking the valley views. Piccolo Sogno is just a few metres up the lane – a lovely space for four.
All have beamed ceilings, tiled floors, well-equipped kitchens, lovely linen and fresh flowers. You're left a hamper and a bottle of wine.
Wander the fecund garden where vegetables and herbs are grown, splash in the infinity pool, head off for amazing wild swimming nearby. Alice offers pasta-making classes, and children can help feed the animals. You're surrounded by peace in the rolling landscape of the Apennine mountains, walking is sublime.

Local points of interest from Gavin & Alice Parkinson:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Gavin & Alice Parkinson:
- Gorgeous local nature parks with deer, wild boar and eagles and walks in the hills.
- Beautiful Renaissance art in Urbino and Sansepolcro (also Piero della Francesca's 'Pregnant Madonna' in Monterchi) and a little further afield in Arezzo - along with a monthly bustling antiques market.
- Local specialities are truffles and delicious Chianina beef - our own Sestino's late June 'festa' celebrates the steak!
- One of Italy's finest wild swimming spots in a nearby river (as rated by The Guardian!)
- We grow our own vegetables and make our own delicious salami, prosciutto, tomato passata, bread, jams and chutneys - all available to guests.
- Children are welcome to get stuck in looking after our chickens, dogs and cats!
