Property Summary

Nestled on the rolling hills of Montecarlo, in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, Villa Gabri is a prestigious vacation rental that rises from a masterful restoration of an ancient country house into an elegant and refined residence. Surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, this exceptional property blends the timeless materials of Tuscan tradition — including Pietra Serena di Cardoso, Carrara marble, and wax-treated walls reminiscent of the great stately homes of Lucca — into an atmosphere of rare sophistication. The villa extends across 3 floors and is enveloped by a fully fenced flat garden of approximately 5,000 square meters, featuring an immaculate English lawn, terracotta pots with lemon plants, ancient vases, multicolored floral essences, and the characteristic olive trees of the region. Ample private parking is available on the property, and the expansive yard offers guests an exclusive outdoor retreat where tranquility and natural beauty converge seamlessly.

Outdoors

The outdoor spaces of Villa Gabri are a true extension of the villa's elegance and charm. The garden, completely fenced and bordered by carefully maintained hedges, is enriched with aromatic plant bushes, ancient decorative vases, and a variety of flowering essences that change with the seasons. Adjacent to the main entrance, a generous outdoor living area shaded by large umbrellas is divided into 2 distinct zones: one dedicated to al fresco dining, where guests can enjoy breakfasts and lunches at a spacious table surrounded by the scents of the vineyards, and one arranged as a comfortable outdoor sitting area for relaxation. A mobile barbecue is also available in this area, perfect for organizing convivial gatherings in a setting of absolute tranquility. For younger guests, a ping-pong table is available near the pool alongside the wide lawn, which is ideal for outdoor games. The swimming pool, positioned at the front of the villa approximately 25 meters from the entrance and accessible through the rectangular square in front, measures 7 m x 13 m with a depth ranging from 1 m to 2.40 m. It is a non-heated pool, elegantly lined with blue mosaic in the style of Roman baths, and features 2 internal Roman staircases for easy entry, 3 hydromassage stations, and internal lighting. The teak wood solarium surrounding the pool is equipped with comfortable sun loungers shaded by 3 umbrellas and a hot shower for guests' convenience. The pool is open from the last Saturday of April to the first Saturday of October. Please be aware that the 2 side wings of the villa are occupied by the owners, who are described as very discreet and respectful of guests' privacy; however, the garden and pool are reserved for the exclusive use of guests.

The ground floor is accessible from multiple entry points and features a spacious living area comprising a large living room with a TV corner, sofas, an ornamental fireplace, and a table suitable for games or work. A large, bright kitchen with a dining area completes the ground floor, along with 2 service bathrooms: one adjacent to the kitchen, equipped with a washing machine, and one near the front entrance that also benefits from direct external access, making it conveniently usable by guests coming from the pool. A majestic marble staircase leads from the living room to the first floor, where the sleeping area is located. This floor houses all 4 double bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom: 2 bathrooms are fitted with a shower, while the remaining 2 are fitted with both a shower and a whirlpool bath.

Description

If you decide to spend your holiday at Villa Leopoldina, you can stay in a historic building, a splendid example of a typical Tuscan house designed in the 18th century by the architects of Grand Duke Leopold of Lorraine, with the characteristic four overlapping arches on the façade. It will be a plunge into the past, when families were very numerous and these huge homes housed several generations under the same roof.
In front of the villa you will find the private garden and on the right-hand side the beautiful swimming pool (size 12x5 m, depth 1.40 m, completely enclosed - open from 01st May to 30th September). From here, every day, you can enjoy a splendid panoramic view over the city of Arezzo and its valleys, a view that becomes even more suggestive at night with the thousands of tiny lights that seem to chase each other. You will reach the centre of Arezzo in less than 10 minutes by car and here you will find all the necessary amenities and services, as well as museums, magnificent churches, cathedrals and monuments to visit.
One of the villa's bonuses is certainly its location. It is located within the Pomaio winery, a renowned winery that produces its excellent wines following the rules of eco-sustainability. Pomaio is listed as one of the 13 most beautiful Design Cellars in the Region of Tuscany for the Toscana Wine Architecture project, and this Green philosophy was also followed for the renovation of the villa. In fact, thanks to the materials used, the villa has a high energy-saving rating, with positive effects both for the environment and for those who stay there in all seasons.
Therefore, in addition to living in the midst of an almost enchanted place, amidst splendid rows of vines that slope down towards the silhouette of the city, you will be able to taste the excellent wines in the wine cellar when you feel like taking a little walk and reaching it.
Villa Leopoldina is on two levels connected by a covered outdoor staircase. You will have two fully equipped kitchens, a washing machine and a dryer on each floor, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and satellite TV. Villa Leopoldina is your perfect location for a holiday with all the comforts on an authentic 100-year-old residence.
On arrival day you will have the opportunity to enjoy a dinner offered by the owners (for stays of a minimum of 7 nights) and a welcome basket for breakfast the following day. Thanks to a wooden bridge at the back of the villa, the first floor is also accessible to persons with reduced mobility. Villa Leopoldina

Distances and Attractions

Le Macine is ideally positioned between 2 of Tuscany's most celebrated landscapes: the Val d'Orcia, renowned for its iconic crete senesi, or Siennese clays, and home to culturally significant towns such as Pienza and Montalcino, and the Maremma, a vast and unspoilt region extending all the way to the Tyrrhenian Sea. The town of Castel del Piano is just a few kilometres from the property and is a member of the Associations of Wine and Oil Towns, a network of 11 municipalities in the province of Grosseto united by a shared commitment to quality viticulture and gastronomy. The network brings together hotels, farms, restaurants, wine bars, and quality wine cellars, offering guests an exceptional range of local experiences. Castel del Piano is also home to one of the region's most beloved annual events, the Palio of the Four Districts, which celebrates the devotion to the Madonna delle Grazie, a precious gold-background artwork attributed to the 14th-century Sienese painter Sano di Pietro. The Palio is held every year on September 8 and is preceded by a grand allegorical parade representing events that took place between 1330 and 1571, rooted in a legend deeply embedded in local tradition.

Distances and Attractions

Villa Zaca enjoys an ideal strategic position that places guests within easy reach of a wide range of natural, cultural, and leisure attractions. The enchanting bay of Ortano, overlooked directly by the villa, is just 1.5 km away on foot or by car, and its beach is fully equipped for a variety of marine activities. The bay is also a favourite destination for snorkellers, drawn by the beauty of its seabed and the clarity of its waters. The panoramic piazzetta of Rio Elba is 1.5 km away, offering a charming setting for an evening out, while the port of Rio Marina is 4 km distant, providing the opportunity to embark on excursions to the island of Pianosa and the spectacular Cala Giovanna. Elegant Porto Azzurro is 9 km from the property and offers a refined atmosphere for dining and exploration. Further afield, guests can discover the promenade of Cavo, the hilltop borgo of Capoliveri with its winding streets, and Portoferraio, the main town of the island of Elba. The surrounding area is also ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, with numerous trails suitable for bikers and hikers leading to landmarks such as Volterraio Castle, the Red Pond, and the Path of Love.
