Villa La Rassinata is located in the locality of the same name, Santa Maria alla Rassinata, at 730 m above sea level. This splendid residence, dating back to the mid-sixteenth century, has been expertly restored and reflects the charm of modern and old exquisitely blended. It stands on a knoll among the Arezzo hills with a view over a green and relaxing panorama. On each floor the common areas are furnished with objects of modern taste, carefully combined with antique pieces; the living room exhibits a retro-style charm, while the bedrooms travel back through time: the beds are high because in the past ash would be put underneath to keep them warm. All six bedrooms have air conditioning. The outdoor spaces have been realised with low stone walls and the gardens are well-maintained and adorned with hydrangeas, antique roses and aromatic plants.
