Villa Catarsena with private pool in Tuscany
Special discount 2023: May 2-18, September 4-20, also for group smaller than the whole capacity of the Villa.
In an uncontaminated corner in the heart of Tuscany, on the border of the National Park of the Casentinesi Forests, Monte Falterona and Campigna, stands the Villa di Catarsena, an elegant Villa in Tuscany and ideal location for relaxing stays, tasting good food and wine, art, spirituality and nature.
Near our Villa in Tuscany there are several wineries that offer the tasting of wines and typical products, enriching your stay with typical food and wine delights of the Casentino and Tuscany.
Villa Catarsena is an integral part of an agricultural and forestry company of over 850 hectares of land: the farmhouse, obtained from a skilful restoration of the existing structures, offers hospitality in an ancient Tuscan Villa of the late 1600s, modified during the 19 Century and wisely restored and restructured recently to use it as agritourism hospitality.
The swimming pool is available to guests just 20 meters from the Villa, with a comfortable width of 6 x 14 meters. The swimming pool is equipped with sun loungers, deck chairs, tables and umbrellas.
The pool can be heated in the cooler seasons in order to allow it to be used even in early autumn or mid-spring.

Niddled in the Tuscany country, the house is typical but very modern inside. all the confort needed is present, event in the smaller details , for example for culinary items. Owners are wonderful, so kind and attentive to all your needs, tips for the restaurant for example. I recommand this stay, it was a wonderful week in family. Thanks Georgio !
Everything about this property was perfect for our family get-together. Would highly recommend it!

Great place for a bigger group
The place is great with a beautiful setting and view over the valley of the Arno.
It is especially well equipped for larger parties (we were 10 + 5 children). The furniture, bathroom and kitchen equipment was of very high standard. The owners have been very nice and helpful.
We were with 11 adults en 3 children for a week in the nice, spacious and well located villa in Bibbiena. We enjoyed the swimmingpool and the nature around the villa. The kitchen was well equipped, and every evening we took all together the dinners outside on the terrace. Thank you Giorgia and Tanya for our splendid holidays.
Villa Catarsena is a beautiful house. All rooms are fine and clean.
Kitchen with all equipment you need. Bathrooms fantastic too.
Outside everything is perfect. Lots of furniture and we enjoyed the pool very much. Very very good holyday. Brock-Faber fam.
The estate is very beautiful with large yards, great swimming pool and outdoor lounge areas. The villa is very well equipped and the host Giorgio was flexible to arrange extra beds when needed (we were a very large group with 10 kids+10 adults). We truly enjoyed our week in the villa and did some day trips to the villages close by. If you love old houses with character and value some privacy and space this is the perfect place for you. Can also recommend the Italian dinner in the villa by the local chef. Many thanks again to our host Giorgio, hopefully we will see you again in Villa Catarsena one day!
Beautiful, capacious property with helpful hosts in a lovely less traveled region of Tuscany
Villa Catarsena was a perfect base of operations for our group of 9 adults on our 10 day visit to the Casentino valley at the headwaters of the Arno. The property sits 4 miles outside of Bibbiena on the road to La Verna, the spectacular clifftop abbey at the site where St. Francis of Assissi reportedly received his saintly stigmata. The villa grounds were a bit more rustic than they appeared in photos, but this was more than compensated by the villa interior. Rooms are large, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. The Kitchen, which we used each day, was quite capable, and accommodated a chef to prepare three dinners over our stay. Each bedroom has a well functioning bathroom, and overall the villa could have accommodated 12-14 guests easily. Finally, the hosts Giorgio and Tonya, and their friendly dog Leone were fabulous; knowledgeable, available, solicitous, but not intrusive. They helped us to arrange a pizza night using their cavelike woodfired oven and assisted with the challenges of traveling during Covid. Bibbiena is within striking distance of Florence, Sienna and Montepulciano, but the real value of this location is the local terrain, and culture away from tourist pressure. In addition to spectacular La Verna we visited Poppi and its castle, and rode e-bikes extensively around the hilly region with beautiful beech forests. Overall, highly recommended!
Villa Catarsena är en underbar upplevelse. Vackert belägen på en sydsluttning i bergslandskapet. Fantastiska möjligheter till eget hushåll genom det fina lantköket och bra matplatser inomhus och utomhus. Vi rekommenderar att ni prövar Giorgios pizzaugn som ett privat event. Flera olika sällskapsytor, vackert möblerade, ger möjligheter att umgås i olika grupperingar om så önskas.Vädret bidrar till ett fint häng vid poolen. Tack och på återseende.
Everything was perfect. Tania and Giorgio were kind and very considerate hosts. The villa has been beautifully restored with care, amazing taste with all the furnishings selected to compliment the building and the surroundings. All the facilities and utensils are of the same exceptional standard. The pool is fabulous!
Very best wishes for the rest of the summer.
Margaret, John and our entire family.
Die Villa ist ein wunderschönes historisches Gebäude, traumhaft gelegen in der weiten und ruhigen Landschaft des Casentino. Mit ihrer Geräumigkeit und den vielen verzweigten und schön eingerichteten Zimmern war sie der ideale Aufenthaltsort für unseren 3-Generationen-Urlaub: Genug Platz, um zusammen zu sein oder sich auch aus dem Weg zu gehen, eine Küche mit allem, was man braucht, ein großer Garten mit vielen Sitzgelegenheiten, dazu der angenehm erwärmte Pool und nicht zuletzt die nette und zuvorkommende Betreuung durch unsere Gastgeber: Es passte einfach alles.. Es waren 10 wundervolle und unvergessliche Tage in der Villa Catarsena.
Grazie mille a Giorgio, Tania, Leone e Merlot
Ein wunderschönes Anwesen in der Toskana ! Reichlich Platz im Haus, ein toller Garten, ein Pool, der direkt zum Reinspringen einlädt. Wir waren mit 10 Erwachsenen und einem Kleinkind dort und hätten uns keine bessere Unterkunft vorstellen können! Die Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber lief stets reibungslos, das Objekt ist nur zu empfehlen !
Wir haben uns in diesem Wunderschönem Haus mit toller Umgebung uns sehr wohl gefühlt
Die Gastgeber Giorgio und Tania, sind sehr herzlich . Sie waren stets bemüht uns unseren Urlaub so angenehm zu gestalten wie wir wollten. Ein sehr zuvorkommende Gastgeber die Familie Montini.

Mooie verzorgde woning, fantastisch zwembad
We hebben een heel fijne reis gehad in een mooi, ruim huis. Heel mooi zwembad. Vriendelijke eigenaars.Wij waren wel niet op de hoogte dat de eigenaar ook in het pand woonde. Dus dat was wel even aanpassen voor ons.
Giorgio’s villa was everything we could hope for and more. Stunning setting, beautiful villa, every amenity we could need and more. Giorgio and Tanya were the perfect hosts and nothing was too much trouble - extra pool towels, fans, booking a chef and beauty treatments, and a delicious homemade cake! We were made to feel so welcome despite being a big group with 7 young children. The villa is a few km outside Bibbiena and tricky to find the first time, and you will definitely need a car. But the rural scenery is beautiful, the pool, gardens and outside dining / lounging areas were a delight (do bring mosquito repellent though!) Inside the house is huge - 3 separate lounges, a big dining room and all the bedrooms are very generous and decorated to suit the period property. Can’t recommend this place highly enough, a truly wonderful holiday location.
Giorgio, Tania und Leone (der Cocker Spaniel) sind wunderbare Gastgeber. Die Villa ist traumhaft, mit parkartigem Garten und tollen Pool. Die Villa ist eine architektonische Antiquität, deren dicke Wände auch an heißesten Tagen für ein angenehmes Klima im Haus sorgen. Die Küche ist vollständig eingerichtet und verfügt über absolut ausreichend Besteck und Geschirr. Im Haus lebt man mit Antiquitäten - das muss man mögen, wir genossen es sehr. Das Anwesen bietet viel Platz, um sich aus dem Wege zu gehen oder auch zusammen zu sein. Man hat immer die Wahl zwischen Sonne und Schatten.
Wir würden die Villa unseren Freunden jederzeit empfehlen und bei einem nächsten Urlaub im Casentino sofort wieder anfragen.
Grazie mille a Giorgio, Tania e Leone
We had a fantastic 2 week stay in this large, spacious villa. Family and friends came and joined us to help fill the space. The swimming pool was excellent, very clean and the perfect temperature, lots of space around the pool to laze or play games. The rooms are all a good size and kept comfortably cool so no problems with no air conditioning. The weather was amazing and we enjoyed many an evening eating outside and socialising until the early hours, there is no-one near by to complain about the noise. The owner who was on-site was extremely welcoming and helpful, happy to give advice when needed (English is quite good). We loved having a chef come to the villa to cook us a traditional 4 course meal which everyone enjoyed and would definitely recommend. The villa is extremely well equipped with a washing machine and iron and board so no need to over pack, the only thing it lacked was any pool towels. I would highly recommend this villa for large families or group get togethers.

Fantastic stay in less touristic part of Tuscany
We had a fantastic stay with our family (5 adults and 5 kids in total) in Giorgio's house. The house in the beginning seemed so big we had trouble finding our way. Also the surroundings of the house are enormous and there is plenty of room for the kids to play.
Also the region the house is situated in, is a lot less touristic than other places in Tuscany, and offers nice walks in the beautiful Casentino forest. The kids loved the swim in the nearby river.
We will definitely recommend this house to other people.

Stunning Tuscan villa with fabulous swimming pool and wonderful host!
Our family group of 15 (10 adults, 5 childten) had an amazing, relaxing holiday in this stunning villa. A warm welcome, followed by careful attention throughout our 2 week stay by our hosts Giorgio and Tanya Montini, was exceptional. There was fruit, honey, olive oil (from the farm) and a rice salad waiting for us, and during our stay we had a memorable pizza-making evening using the pizza oven, helped by Giorgio. The large pool was well maintained and we spent many happy hours in it. The villa was clean and comfortable with plenty of space for us all. We appreciated having a good wifi connection and plenty of shaded outdoor areas. Thank you Giorgio and Tanya for you kindness and generosity. LorraineB

Ein tolles Haus
Wir haben das Objekt im September/Oktober für 2 Wochen für unseren Familienurlaub gebucht und haben hier einen fantastischen Urlaub verbracht. Das Haus ist sehr großzügig, prima in Schuss und bietet jede Menge Bewegungsfreiheit . Technisch ist alles tip top und super modern. Sat-TV und Wl-Lan ( reicht sogar bis zum Pool). Das Grundstück ist klasse, parkähnlich, riesengroß , mit einem großen, sehr warmen ( beheizten ) Pool. Unser Gastgeber Giorgio hat sich bestens um uns gekümmert und war stets für Rückfragen oder Sonderwünsche erreichbar. In der näheren Umgebung laden Poppi oder Arezzo zu Tagesausflügen ein, und auch Florenz ist binnen ca. 1h erreichbar . Alles in Allem, ein tolles Objekt, wir kommen wieder.
