My wife and I where extremely fortunate to spend a week (early October) at the Casa Pippo along with our closest friends (a total of ten at one point). In simple terms a truly remarkable and memorable experience. When we arrived at this 500 year old farmhouse (not knowing what to expect) we were warmly greeted by the owner's Elisabetta,... More

This very comfortable 4BR house is far enough away from town that one is not at all tempted to pop down from the heights above Arezzo but near enough to the highways and railway to make day trips easy. The hosts are terrific and the Big Dinner a great memory ( bring your camera as well as an appetite). Fine... More

From the moment you pass through the rod-iron gates you will feel welcomed, wowed, and wonderful. Casa Pippo is very well maintained inside and out and is equipped with all the comforts... More

It is spacious and comfortable and I could... More

My week at Francesco and Elisabetta's villa was the most enjoyable portion of a month long trip spanning three countries. Francesco met the five of us at the train station and guided us up the narrow roads to the villa. He was friendly and had helpful suggestions for us, this being our first time traveling in the region. He also... More

We met friends from Toronto in Arezzo (where they filmed Life is Beautiful) and we all travelled up to the villa overlooking the city.
