About this property

Fattoria di Arsicci, your home in Italy.

The ancient farm owners house is located in a small Appennino village, named Arsicci, which is 850 meters above sea level. The house has a front garden at ground floor and, at lower floor, a second garden giving access to the private wooded park with swimming pool. Arsicci is located close to river Tevere springs. There are many marked panoramic paths of different difficulty level in the mountains surrounding the village. The GEA path, which follows the Appennini ridge, passes on the nearby crest. Arsicci is located close to the towns of Borgo Sansepolcro (the renaissance painter, Piero della Francesca, town), Monterchi and Anghiari.

The location.: Many of the most important art towns in central Italy can be visited in one day trip. On the Tirrenian side there are Assisi, Cortona, Gubbio, Perugia, Todi, Viterbo, Arezzo, Firenze and Siena; on the Adriatic Side Urbino, Ravenna, San Marino, Rimini the citadels of San Leo and Sassocorvaro. There are also a multitude of fascinating castles, shrines and hermitages such as La Verna and Camaldoli, sites of great spirituality in the early Middle Ages and Italian Renaissance. Restaurants in the area are superb, many of them are economically priced.

A great house
A great house in a fabulous location in the mountains. It's a 20 minute drive to any shops or cafes but that means it is really quiet (apart from the sound of cow bells. The house has lots of rooms, many games and an excellent pool.

Wunderschöne Woche in der Hügeln der Toskana
Wir (8 Erwachsene und 7 Kinder) hatten eine wunderschöne Woche in Arsicci bei Paolo. Nach dem freundlichen Empfang hat es uns im Haus selbst an nichts gefehlt. Mehr als genügend Platz im Haus für alle Aktivitäten, Highlight der wunderschöne Billardtisch im UG sowie die liebevolle Einrichtung aller Zimmer. Doch das absolut beste an der Unterkunft war der riesige Park mit wunderschönem Pool. Wir hoffen noch einmal zurück zu kommen!

Schönes altes Haus
Das Haus ist sehr geräumig und sauber und es ist alles da, was man braucht für eine gute Erholung. Es liegt etwas abgeschieden und relativ hoch in den Bergen. Es gibt schöne toskanische Städtchen zu besichtigen. Alles prima.

Fantastique
Nous avons passé un sejour formidable dans la maison de Paolo et Anna: parfaitement equipee pour une grande famille, calme et tres spacieuse. La region, beaucoup moins touristique que l‘ouest de la Toscane, est magnifique, tres authentique et regorge de villages et ballades ravissants et/ou impressionnants! Mille merci pour l‘accueil chaleureux! Claire

Perfektes Haus, perfekte Erholung
Wir haben die Villa Arsicci als wundervolle Bleibe für eine Woche unter Freunden genossen. 8 Erwachsene und 7 Kinder waren wir - und wir haben lange nicht alle Räume ausgenützt, so großzügig ist das Haus angelegt. Unsere Highlights: die super ausgestattete Küche (wir kochen gerne und ausgiebig selber), der weitläufige Park, die Laufstrecken vom Haus weg.... das Menü von Giuseppina haben wir ebenfalls sehr genossen. Paolo und Anna sind sehr herzliche Gastgeber. Am liebsten würden wir in der Sekunde wieder buchen!

Fantastiskt hus
Stort bra hus med plats för många, vi var 14 personer. Många badrum och ett stort bra kök. Underbar natur med utsikt över bergen och en härlig pool. Lite backigt mellan poolen och huset, inget för den som har svårt att gå eller svårt att andas.

Dejligt gammelt hus, med masser af plads til både voksne og børn. Pænt, rent og charmerende.
En virkelig god ramme for vores storfamilie ferie, med masser af plads til alle både store og små. Særdeles pænt og hyggeligt med rigtig god plads til både store og små. Flotte omgivelser med skønne blomster og plæner, trygt og godt. En fantastisk swimmingpool pool og pool område, alt er velholdt, rent og pænt. Gode toilet faciliteter og skønne værelser. Udsigt og omgivelser er det rigtige Toscana, med lange kik til bjergtoppe, skov og natur.

Ein wunderbares Haus mit Park für Gruppen, die allein sein können und wollen
Das Haus ist wunderschön, gepflegt und stilvoll eingerichtet. Wir waren mit 9 Erwachsenen und fünf Kindern als Großfamilie dort und haben es trotz mäßigen Wetters sehr genossen. Billard im Haus, Pool und Park (der sich für Sport aller Art nutzen lässt) draußen haben viele Möglichkeiten geboten. Auch die recht kleinen Mountainbikes konnten wir nutzen. Paolo war super freundlich und spricht gut englisch, Guiseppina ist die gute Seele, spricht aber nur Italienisch. Wir haben uns zwei mal von ihr bekochen lassen. Es war fantastisch, kostete für ein Menü 23 Euro / Person und war es mehr als wert. Sie servierte auch, zusammen mit einer anderen Nachbarin, so dass wir ganz toll den Geburtstag meiner Mutter feiern konnten. Wir haben im Garten vor dem Haus gegessen und mit Wifi-Anlage getanzt - alles kein Problem, da man in Arsicci mit seinen höchstens 10 Einwohnern niemand stört. Das ist ohnehin ein großes Plus, dass man so für sich ist - gerade mit lebendigen Kinden. Es fühlt sich an als hätte man ein Hotel für sich allein. Für andere mag das aber auch ein Problem sein. Nach Arezzo oder Rimini fährt man schon gut ne Stunde, wir haben es gemacht und auch das war toll. Die Kosten für Strom und Gas sind etwas zu hoch, aber wir haben es akzeptiert, weil das Gesamtbild so freundlich und stimmig war. Ein Ort an den wir wieder kommen? Eher nicht, dafür ist er zu abseitig und wir kennen ihn jetzt. Aber für eine einmalige und sicher einzigartige Woche mit Freunden oder Familie ein wunderbarer Ort. Hatte noch nie einen solchen Park, noch nie eine so tolle Küche im Urlaub. Danke an Paolo und Guiseppina. Ihre Ravioli und die frittierten Salbeiblätter werde ich nie vergessen.

Fantastic week in Arsicci
This is the 4th year we have been to stay at this property. It is absolutely stunning, very comfortable, large grounds, great pool and games and very relaxing. Perfect for our group reunion. Paolo is very helpful and welcoming and Guissepina is the best cook i have ever come across. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Perfetta per una riunione di amici!!
La fattoria completamente ristrutturata si trova in Toscana ai confini con Umbria e Marche. Fattoria è riduttivo in quanto all'interno e al primo piano si trovano 5 comode e ben arredate stanze da letto con relativo bagno più altre 2 per ragazzi, un'ampia cucina con un grande limitrofo salone entrambi corredati da splendidi e funzionanti camini. Al piano sottostante diverse grandi sale accolgono gli ospiti, in una è posizionato il biliardo con l'angolo bar, un'altra è riservata ai piccoli ospiti e altre due, di cui una con un altro camino, sono per il relax. A completare la soffitta con un'altra camera e bagno. Il parco, anche se non lo abbiamo potuto godere per il freddo e la neve, è ampio e ben curato nei particolari e termina con una piscina con relativi spogliatoi. Ogni anno passiamo le vacanze dopo capodanno in un casale ma posso senz'altro affermare che sicuramente questo è uno dei migliori per disponibilità di spazio e di comodità. Unica neo è forse la posizione isolata che costringe a spostamenti un po' lunghi e attraverso strade tortuose per le gite giornaliere, ma se si vuole la tranquillità ..... Molto comodo il garage annesso che ospita senza problemi 4 macchine e che visto le nevicate e il freddo che ci ha accompagnato è stato utilissimo. Infine, ma non per ultimo, la disponibilità della Signora Giuseppina che oltretutto ci ha preparato una cena abbondante ed eccellente!! Assolutamente consigliato e probabilmente torneremo, grazie!!

Wonderful place and great for a large family
We have been many places all over Italy, but your house in Arsicci is beyond any doubt the loveliest place we have ever stayed. The beautiful old house filled with interesting things to look at, each bedroom with its own atmosphere and personality, the chilled basement filled with entertainment like the pool table for the warm evenings and an amazing kitchen to cook big family dinners in. And the surrounding garden - or rather, park - was such a luxury during the day with plenty of shade, and in the nights almost turning into a fairytale garden filled with fireflies!

A beautiful setting and an ideal house for a relax
Located in the sleepy mountain village of Arsicci, this converted farmhouse is perfect for a large family gathering. With panoramic views across the surrounding mountain landscape dotted with farms and hamlets, the silence is interrupted only by the distant clang of cows bells, and the atmosphere is very "Sound of Music". The house is comfortable, practical, and full of character. It's well equipped and has more or less everything you could need from pool towels to barbecue, although a microwave might be a useful addition. The pool and large gardens are very well maintained, and there are plenty of places to sit and read, or just kick back, do nothing, and take in the scenery. There are one or two small villages nearby, and the closest supermarket is in Pieve Santo Stefano, a small town about 20 minutes drive away. If you want to do some exploring, Paolo, our host, gave us some very useful pointers on places of interest, and what to see in the locality. Sansepolcro, a 35 minute drive away, is the nearest large town. A stroll around it's old quarter is a relaxing way to spend an afternoon. You would need to set aside a full day for trips further afield such as Florence or Siena. One of the highlights of our two week stay was the meals prepared by Giuseppena, a local lady who looks after the house. Before your eyes, she will conjure up some wonderful local dishes for dinner - a great option if you want to take a break from cooking. A beautiful setting and an ideal house for a relaxing family holiday.

Arte, cultura, relax nel centro d'Italia
Immerso in boschi di querce, faggi e carpini, con qualche pino a sud, nel parco, il casale di Arsicci meravigliosamente ristrutturato nel rispetto della tradizione locale, è un'oasi di pace e di tranquillità che induce al riposo e alla meditazione; rimembranza e quasi riproduzione degli eremi francescani che si possono visitare nei dintorni, magari raggiungendoli a piedi con lunghe ma deliziose passeggiate nel verde. Crocevia di quattro regioni (Toscana, Romagna, Marche e Umbria), tra la Val Marecchia e la Val Tiberina, da qui si possono raggiungere in (relativamente) pochi minuti di automobile luoghi d'arte e di cultura unici al mondo. E non parlo (solo) di San Marino, Urbino, Arezzo, Perugia, Assisi, Gubbio, e altri notissimi luoghi compresi in tutti gli itinerari turistici, ma piuttosto di luoghi spesso dimenticati come San Sepolcro, Anghiari, Monterchi e Citerna o, più a sud. Spello, Montefalco e Bevagna. Qui, in un ambiente che del '3-'400 ha mantenuto fascino e bellezza, si possono incontrare il grande Piero della Francesca, Iacopo della Quercia, Tino di Camaino, affreschi di Benozzo Gozzoli e del Perugino, una Madonna con bambino (terracotta policroma) di Donatello trentenne, la "Deposizione" di Rosso Fiorentino, e molte altre testimonianze del genio italico. Alimento culturale per lo spirito e per la mente, quindi, di vera eccellenza. E il ritorno a "casa Arsicci" sarà reso ancor più piacevole dall'accoglienza principesca che vi riserveranno la casa con le sue stanze ampie e luminose (tutte con bagno privato), il salotto e la cucina ricchi di antiche risonanze, il parco e la piscina, insieme alla dolce cordialità di Paolo e Anna. E che dire della cucina di Giuseppina (disponibile su richiesta - fortemente consigliata - a preparare pranzi e cene)? "Alimento culturale per il corpo". Non trovo altra definizione. Ora, provate a tracciare una linea ideale tra Bolzano a Napoli: al centro troverete Arsicci! Vero "umbilicus Italiae", qui lingua, arte, natura e perché no? enogastronomia si incontrano in un equilibrio magistrale, che l'accoglienza di Paolo e Anna e la cucina di Giuseppina interpretano perfettamente e felicemente. Insomma: un paradiso terrestre!

MAGNIFIQUE MAISON A RECOMMANDER !
Avons passé une très belle semaine dans ce lieu magnifique. Le maison est de très bon confort, spacieuse (850 m² !), décorée avec soin. La taille de la maison permet de garder une certaine indépendance. La prestation de ménage journalière est effectuée par une personne très sympathique du village. Elle se propose aussi de préparer les repas du groupe. Le village est très calme, au milieu de nulle part. Une voiture est indispensable pour le séjour. La decription faite sur le site est tout à fait fidèle à la réalité. L'accueil du propriétaire a été très chaleureux. Une adresse à recommander à tous ceux qui souhaitent découvrir la Toscane en bénéficiant d'un hébergement de grande qualité.

Dreamfull holidays
We spent 2 wonderful weeks in Arsicci. We discovered Toscany outside the usual touristic roads, but it was worth. And the house was so nice, that it was difficult to hit the road and visit some of the wonders of Toscany like Assisi. We particularly appreciated the view on the mountains from the swimming pool, the pool table (for our evenings) and the big park. But above all what we really liked was Paolo's hospitality and Josepina's kindness. Everything was perfect. We really recommend this property.

Arsicci
A perfect holiday destination. Beautiful, peaceful location. The house is gorgeous and very well kept. The local housekeeper looks after you amazingly and will happily cook delicious meals when requested. There is also excellent correspondence with the owner. Facilities brilliant with lovely pool, table tennis and billiards - perfect for families. We are returning for the 4th year in a row.

About the host

Hosted by Paolo Sommariva

Host profile image
Our names are Anna and Paolo. The house was purchased by Paolo Family in 1933. We own the old Paolo family farmhouse since 1999. We have been travelling all over the world for working and knowledge reasons; while travelling we have collected interesting things which have been used to complete the nice traditional furniture of our home.

Why they chose this property

When we are in Arsicci we like walking and trekking on the surrounding beautiful and gentle mountains. Paolo loves Arsicci since he was born as well as his daughter Serena and his granddaughter Gemma. Anna and Paolo have always done what was necessary to keep this wonderful small tuscan village alive and in the best possible conditions.
We live in Milano and when we are not in our property Giuseppina, a kind lady living in Arsicci, takes good care of the house and the park.

What makes this property unique

Silence, wonderfull nature and landscapes very softly touched by human activities since thousand years. Very easy to reach art towns, art masterpieces, monastries and hermitages.
Very, very large house where large groups can easily leave together but with private corners for everybody.
