Beautiful Tuscan Villa with large garden and ample outside space
Restored recently, this pristine farmhouse offers sparkling five bedroom accommodation, including four first floor bedrooms, three of which are ensuite. There is a ground floor bedroom with ensuite, and three barrel-vaulted chambers providing a stunning living area. Beamed ceilings and original floors retain the character and simple charm of this Tuscan farmhouse with plenty of natural light. The house sits on the edge of the "Alpe della Luna" or "mountains of the moon" of Tuscany and is accessed by a quiet tarmac road that leads to a network of tracks for walking into the national park in which the house sits. Excellent South facing views towards Sansepolcro (9 kms) where one can enjoy the special atmosphere of a "little Florence" with its excellent restaurants, shops, bars and of course the museum of "Piero della Francesca". There is a 5m x12m solar heated pool, olive grove, fruit trees and climbing roses. Stunning valley and hillside views all around. A first class restaurant is just a short stroll away and is open all year round. The property owners have recently added Sky satellite with over 200 channels (many in English) including Sky News, Sky Sports (original language) and Sky Cinema (original language). This hidden secret is ideal for families who can enjoy the abundant space or for singles and couples who enjoy stunning uninterrupted views, tranquility but with amenities not far away. Spotlessly clean the owners take pride in presenting this safe home for you to enjoy without any concerns.

Our stay was really nice. The house is wonderful, the pool and the garden also. The kitchen is huge Just right for 8 people.
The sight from the pool over the hills is great
We had a lovely holiday, the villa had lots of room and the pool was fantastic. Couple of places to have meals and kitchen was good. Interesting area, went to Cortona, Assisi and Arezzo. Also a concert in the village of Anghiari which was magical.
Only slight negative, having to buy bottled water.

We were two families and our mother staying in this lovely house. We especially enjoyed the pool and gorgeous views from the pool. The house itself was clean and well kept and easily fitted 10 people between 2 and 70 years old. Communication was smooth before and during the stay and Simon and his family gave us a warm welcome. Would happily recommend it and come back.
We had a perfect week in this delightful house. It accommodated our large family group perfectly and we loved the pool, beautiful views and the pretty town of San Sepolcro nearby. Chris was welcoming and helpful from a distance, and Simon and his family, who look after the villa and its lovely gardens, were very kind and so helpful - a real addition to our stay.Warmly recommended!
We were already looking forward to our holiday at Villa Aboca. The stay was even better than we had imagined! We are still burning for. Thank you!!!

A hidden gem - wonderful villa in a beautiful Tuscan countryside setting
We were very pleasantly surprised by the location and the quality of this lovely property - our expectations were exceeded!
A charming home, with a well equipped kitchen, great pool, a real wood burning pizza oven, and even cable TV (critical for World Cup games!). Simon the caretaker was outstanding, handling any requests or issues promptly, with a smile.
We were a group of 8 - two families of 4, and we had lots of room, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We highly recommend it!

Wonderful house and wonderful surroundings
First of all, the house is extraordinary with a big kitchen and four bedrooms with private bathrooms. The garden is very nice and we were happy for the fine sitting areas and pizza oven. The swimming pool was very nice, and the air is light because of the altitude. Overall the pictures on internet gives a good view of the house.
The city of Sansepolcro served us with super markets, specially the Coop.
This place has it all.
A wonderfully furnished, welleqipt and spacious house.
A beautiful and large garden.
A lovely pool.
And last but not least a stunning view from all parts of the property.
Add to this a very kind and helpfull housekeeper.
We had two wonderfull weeks and would love to come back.
Do not miss a visit to Anghiari which is a village out of a farry tale or the L’Osteria in Aboca down the road - one of our very best restaurant experiences. Great food - great service!

Ideal family villa in a wonderful location
We have stayed in many rental properties throughout Italy over the past twenty years and this was certainly in the top three.
The villa was clean, well-equipped, easy to get around, spacious and very comfortable. It was March so the pool was too cool to use. The grounds were still well-kept even this early in the season with wonderful views towards Sansepolcro.
At the bottom of the hill (a seven minute walk) in one of the best restaurants around. The food and wine list is so good the walk home takes rather a lot longer.
We thoroughly recommend the property
My friends and I wanted a quiet relaxing vacation and this property was perfect. We had all been to Italy several times and preferred to just soak in the beauty of Tuscany. The house felt like home from the moment we arrived. Giovanni showed us around and was even so kind as to take us to the Coop in town to load up w groceries for the week. Every detail of the house met and exceeded our expectations. We were able to take long walks, lay by the pool, read, play cards, cook and eat outdoors - it was just what we wanted. We did not rent a car and did spend a bit on having a driver (Marco) take us to Arezzo so we could catch the train into Florence for a day. One other day we caught the bus at the bottom of the hill and had lunch in Sansepulcro. unfortunately the Osteria at the bottom of the hill was closed that week. The property is actually in Aboca which is only 5km from Sansepulcro.. we could have walked but wanted a new adventure..
There were only three of us so we had more than enough room as the place could accommodate 10 ! If you are there to visit nearby towns then you definitely would want to rent a car. Two of us had spent the previous week touring Rome, Assisi, Padua and Loreto prior to meeting up with our other friend.
It was so much fun that when I returned back home and told my stories my neighbor is going to suggest this to a group of her friends.
We did leave a day early to stay n Rome the night before our international departure which
was wise.
So thank you Chris for making this such an enjoyable holiday.
You can’t go wrong booking this place !!!
Casa fantastica con ottime finiture. Posto tranquillo, molto spazio disponibile e casa fornita di tutto il necessario sia all'interno che all'esterno. Abbiamo passato 3 giorni fantastici. Unica pecca, se così si può dire, per noi che siamo stati in inverno, la mancanza di un camino all'interno che avrebbe reso il tutto perfetto
Met onze familie van 7 genoten! Mooi huis, alle slaapkamers met een badkamer. Goed ingerichte keuken, zwembad en in de omgeving leuke stadjes om rond te slenteren. Kortom 10 +
We had a fantatsic week in this beautiful villa which was more than big enough for our two families. There were four ensuites which gave us loads of privacy and two living rooms, a dining room and two outdoor dining areas so always a space to find some peace and quiet. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable with stunning views with lots of outodoor space. The pool was HUGE and we had hours of fun playing and relaxing. The location was excellent - not too far from Siena, Florence, Gubbio and Cortona for day trips and the local town of Sansepolcro only 15 mins for all your grocery needs and a great outdoor pool with slides. The local restaurant L'Osteria in Aboca is also well worth a visit.
Jeg fikk en tåre i øyekroken ved ankomst. Slått av det vakre, rene og smakfulle. Grønt og frodig. Deilig og rent svømmebasseng. Vi manglet ingen ting. Nærheten til restauranten 5 minutt unna til fots, var av stor verdi. Flotte turområder rundt. Litt varmt på soverommene er det eneste lille minuset. Anbefales på det varmeste!
Abbiamo trascorso 3 giorni bellissimi. La casa è molto accogliente ed ha una cucina super accessoriata. Simon è stato gentilissimo. La terremo presente per future locazioni. Al limite in estate per usufruire anche della piscina
Die Villa Aboca ist wirklich sehr zu empfehlen. Die Ausstattung ist super und die Lage einfach perfekt für einen entspannten Urlaub mit großer Familie.
Kleiner Wermutstropfen sind die Hunde in der Nachbarschaft, da sie ziemlich häufig am Kläffen sind.
This is an excellent villa. Very clean, well cared for and set up. All rooms were fantastic with very good en-suite bathrooms. Would highly highly recommend it to anyone- groups or families. The excellent restaurant at bottom of the hill makes the relatively remote setting just fine.
After 2020 we had very nice holiday with family and friends in this lovely Villa again. Everything was Perfect. Booking , Communication , the House and the surrounding. Can recommend this Villa again.
Très belle maison très fonctionnelle pour un groupe avec plusieurs ambiances cuisine très bien équipée.
Nous étions 10 avec des adolescents et chacun trouve des endroits tranquilles pour se reposer
Belle table abritée pour les repas à l’ombre
En bref nous avons passé une très bonne semaine
Perfect location for a stay with family and friends
We had a very relaxing stay for one week in this wonderful house this summer with the whole family. The house is very well equipped, it is very clean and it is located in a very silent area. Booking, Check-in / Check-out and support during our stay by Simon & Giovanni worked like a charm. I can highly recommend this location and we hope to stay there again in the future.
wir sind durch zufall in diese gegend gekommen und sind sehr angenehm überrascht über das städtchen und die menschen. das haus ist einfach perfekt, man sieht, dass das der eigentümer auch für sich geschaffen hat. alles durchdacht und mit geschmack.
Casa incantevole
Tutto bello, casa e zone esterne molto curate, dagli arredi agli alberi da frutta agli ulivi
Ci ritorneremo. Grazie a Simon soprattutto per la sua accoglienza e disponibilità.

About the host
Hosted by Chris Nunn
Born in UK, live in Australia, in love with Tuscany!
Why they chose this property
This property is unique. It has modern convenience alongside traditional beauty, views beyond compare, walks for nature lovers but the convenience of a bustling historic town close by. Quiet and charming but with easy access to the rest of Tuscany and the many historical towns of Umbria. Ideal for a family celebration, a holiday with friends and/or family or just a peaceful retreat away from it all..
What makes this property unique
Tuscan beauty at its best! Old and beautifully restored farmhouse, wonderfully quiet and surrounded by nature's flora and fauna. Fauna includes wolves, martens, badgers, porcupines. Mostly nocturnal though.
