Description
Casa Rossa is a suggestive farmhouse of very remote origins. It stands in a very panoramic and peaceful position, overlooking vineyards and olive groves. It can be reached by following an unpaved road (1,5 km) that winds its way through rows of vineyards, and even before you get there you will feel you have been catapulted into another era. The origins of this house are in fact very old and date back at least to 1500, as documented in the register of souls of the parish of Pieve San Giovanni.
The owners, Leone and Giuseppe, have intentionally maintained its rustic, almost medieval appearance in order to preserve its noble origins. The wooden and brick ceilings, the original terracotta floors and the simple and essential furnishings are a rare example of the rural tradition in Tuscany. The farmhouse is particularly suitable for couples or families who love nature and simplicity and want to get away from modern life for a while.
Pets are welcome (extra charge could be required).
You will find yourself facing an incomparable view on summer evenings, sitting by the pool (size 5 x 9 m, depth 1.20 m, private for guests - open from 16 May to 12 September) or dining in the furnished pergola in front of the house. And if you feel like leaving the quiet of the place for a while, the city of Arezzo is reachable in 15 minutes by car, and throughout the year it offers countless folkloristic and cultural events, including the Giostra del Saracino and the Antique Fair.
For horse lovers, there is a riding school less than 500 m from the house that organises rides through the vineyards and hills. Casa Rossa

Property Summary
Nestled in the evocative landscape of the Crete Senesi in Tuscany, Italy, Podere Bellaria is a remarkable vacation rental that invites you to experience the timeless charm of a historic Tuscan farmhouse. Dating back to the 19th century, this extraordinary estate once served as a post station and inn for travelers on horseback, later passing through the hands of noble families before being lovingly restored by its current owner. The meticulous restoration has honored the original architectural layout and classic structural elements while introducing a bold and personal aesthetic: vivid furnishings crafted from rich materials, ornate rounded forms, exposed stone walls, and unconventional accessories and fabrics that together create an interior of rare character and warmth. Ideally situated just minutes from the renowned spa town of Rapolano Terme, the property is perfectly suited for large groups of friends or families seeking both togetherness and independence.

A sweeping pine wood stretches from the front of the house all the way to the pool area, providing natural shade and a sense of seclusion. During the warmer months, the outdoor living experience expands beneath a large portico furnished with tables and chairs, where guests can gather and relax overlooking the pool.
