San Domenico has been a country house since the second half of the 19th century and has been converted into a beautiful holiday home in 2000. It is situated in the Casentino area, a valley between the provinces of Florence and Arezzo where the first part of the river Arno flows before reaching Florence. It is one of the areas richest in woodlands some of which are extremely vast such as the forest surrounding the Sanctuary of La Verna where important works of art are held. Therefore green is the colour which dominates the landscape, even where the woods end there are cultivated fields and olive trees. The country house is perfect for groups of friends or large families who want to alternate rest with excursions to the cities of Arezzo, San Sepolcro, Cortona, Anghiari and other small towns. There is also a golf course not too far away. The property includes traditionally cultivated fields, olive trees and vineyards. The house is surrounded by a beautiful lawn where children can play, the swimming pool (12x6, 1.2-1.8 m deep)(14/05-30/09) with Jacuzzi, toilet and changing room, deck chairs, sun beds and umbrella. A lovely veranda furnished with a table and chairs for outdoor dining (barbeque, wood-fired oven). The accommodation has central heating and wi-fi Internet connection. You can ask for a maid, a babysitter, a chef and cookery courses, all to be paid for on location. Car park on the property. PLEASE NOTE: pets are allowed against the payment of 30 euros/pet/week. On the same property, but completely detached, there is the country house Le Vignancce where large groups of friends (groups up to 20-22 people) can spend a holiday together still enjoying their privacy.Accomodation (350 m2) Gr.fl.: kitchen/dining room, sitting room with TV, sitting room with fireplace, 1 bedroom with twin beds leading outdoors and bathroom with shower, 1 double bedroom, 1 bathroom with shower, laundry room. 1st fl.: sitting room, 2 double bedrooms (one with fireplace) with bathroom with shower, 1 single bedroom leading to a double bedroom with bath and to a double bedroom with poster bed and bathroom with shower.Distances 2 km Salutio (restaurant), 28 km Arezzo, 55 km Cortona, 73 km Montepulciano, 70 km Siena, 115 km Florence, 110 km san Gimignano.Further information - Domestic help - Babysitter on request and to be paid on the spot - Cook on request and to be paid on the spot - Weekly linen change unless otherwise stated in the above description - Babysitter per hour - Domestic help on request and to be paid on the spot - Cook on request and to be paid on the spot
