Tuscan farmhouse on own hill, peaceful, pool, terrace, views, Wi-Fi, cleanair

The artists' house...Relaxing, light simple holiday house with pool, sole occupancy - the house is completely for your enjoyment .
Sits alone on a little hill. Own gate, drive, private land.

Huge terrace with pool, views overlooking the lovely historic colonaded town of Poppi, situated to east of Florence , and 35 minutes from Arezzo, easy reach of Cortona, Siena and sea, with excellent opportunities for sightseeing.
The house sits on its own little hill down a small gravel track and across a couple of fields, from the village, (passing umbrella pines and a good place to pick blackberries!)
The air of the Casentino is very clean - the house is on the edge of the National park and so one can drive up the mountain on a hot day for a cool walk among the chestnuts, followed by a panini or even hot chocolate in Camaldoli.
The house is easy to relax in, it has dining inside and out, with different sized tables set around the lavender lined terrace, pool and garden so you can choose to sit in the sun or under the vine clad pergolas .
The pool is 7x3 metres and overlooks the whole valley. The terrace behind it is a good place for yoga and meditation or for just sitting with a glass of wine after a day's sightseeing.
There are beds for sunbathing, and a barbecue ( the local Chianina beef is available , as well as ready made local meals, are available from the macelleria in the piazza , and lasagna etc can be made to order ).
Many games available. There is a tiny field with goal posts for playing football or pop up tennis, croquet, basketball hoop plus ping pong/ table football in the shade of a massive oak tree. A yoga teacher can be
supplied by request.

There is also swimming in the River Arno or for serious swimmer, an Olympic sized pool in Bibbiena.
Poppi is a collonaded town with a Castle built as a model for the Uffizzi in Firenze. There are 9 other castles in the area to explore. Poppi has a variety of shops and has a market on Tuesday's when everyone comes in to town for a gossip. There is a great icecream cafe on the piazza for watching the world go by! There are also good delicatessens selling local produce and organic vegetables etc .
Apart from horse riding, cycling and, for the brave, a flight over the valley in a microlight, there is also a fabulous golf course behind Poppi ( see Golf Casentino)
Local Tuscan specialities served at a variety of local restaurants allow one to have a relaxing and entertaining break. There is a restaurant within a few minutes of the house selling well cooked meals from pizza and pasta to steak etc. Good for children as well!
Catered meals and a taxi service can be supplied on request.Bus and trains to Firenze and Arezzo.
During the colder months, board games, good supply of books, DVDs, wood fires.
The house is basic but comfortable. In spring birdwatching (46 varieties of bird listed in one week) with occasional visits to the fields by wild boar and deer.
Nightingales fireflies, shooting stars, golden oriel and hoopoes can make for a magical experience.
Cherries, plums, figs. walnuts in season are pickable.
Christmas New Year and the winter.
The house is not for the fainthearted in winter! It is stone built, has 2 fires and bathroom heating, plus electric blankets and hot water bottles. We have made the prices low because you will have to heat the house up which takes about a day. Bedrooms are cold thought there are electric blankets and hot water bottles.
Logs can be ordered either through us or through the wood man. It is also possible that you might be snowed in or have to leave your car at the end of the drive. Otherwise its very romantic!

Winter or summer you leave feeling refreshed!

THE HOUSE IS CLEANED and surfaces are disinfected. Hygenic sheets and towels are supplied by the local laundry, and for long stays are delivered weekly.

Artists froom the area - Piero della Francesco, della Robbia, the Bibiena brothers, Dante... George Elliot visited and trekked from Poppi to Camalodoli...

Fairs and festivals all summer.

Learn Italian, learn to make pasta, attend wine tastings..

" Thank you for letting us know about the market, which we will visit. We are feeling just marvellous and really enjoying your beautiful house.
The kitchen stove is fantastic and all your odds and ends make for a very comfortable and attractive house....I spotted a number of deer early yesterday morning in the field just below the house. I am having a day here on my own, to which I look forward - the other 2 couples have arranged to have a game of golf. We had an excellent meal at the Restaurant near the roundabout last night and plan to visit the Frog Festa on the 31st. Yesterday we went to the Antique Market in Stia and picked up a few lovely things -
The paintings in the bedroom downstairs where I am sleeping, I love!

Thanks for the suggestions which are really helpful and we’ll check out the Laterina festival tonight or tomorrow night. Keen cooking and barbecuing son is also eyeing up the exciting bbq! Such a glorious spot. 27 July 2019

Message review from guest after staying June- July 2019

Casa Feriale* could not be more idyllic. Sitting among the butterflies on the generous terrace, enjoying an uninterrupted view across rolling countryside to Poppi castle, you feel perfectly private, far from the madding crowd. Yet a short drive (or longish walk) takes you to friendly food shops, bars, cafés and a train station. Across a few fields, a neighbour sells freshly picked fruit, veg and eggs. The mature garden, beautifully planted, is a delight: lovely spots to sit and read quietly, and plenty of space for conviviality. As for the house, it's gorgeous: comfortable, characterful and unfussy, and lots to do, inside and out. Lovely shady walking nearby in the forests of the national park, great places to eat, and wonderful daytrips. The perfect place for a big family or group of friends to unwind, with every generation catered for.

How we fell in love with Casa Ferale(s) :)))
Hi dear Debora, We have had a great time in your beautiful house. The garden, the incredible patio - in short, it was a very nice and spacious house in an unbelievably pretty environment, with a fantastic view. Debora, you were a pleasant and sweet host, and based upon your advice we managed to see a lot of the surroundings. Some things we did, amongst others, were cooking; dining; swimming; laughing; hiking; mountain biking through Foreste Casentinesi; seeing the sunrise on top of Creco del Pratomagno; running into little wild boars; and hiking through the river Arno. And…….we also had a family-ping-pong-competition, with the dog under-the-table picking up the dropped balls and only to speed off with them (it seems like she was also enjoying her own little game)! We made a long journey back and forth to a place we actually wouldn’t want to leave 😊

Wonderful stay in stunning place
We had the most wonderful holiday at Casa Feriale! Deborah was the most superb host and went out of her way to help us, even taking us to the supermarket on our first day, booking a table at a local restaurant for us as well as lots of advice and assistance about the local area. The house is great, a truly authentic rustic feel, totally in keeping with the stunning countryside of Tuscany. The house has everything you need, really well equipped kitchen and we enjoyed so many al fresco lunches and dinners on the terrace and by the pool. Also has a good BBQ. The pool and table tennis were a big hit with our kids, and there is also loads of other things to entertain children there. The view from the pool is utterly breathtaking, so tranquil and peaceful, surrounded by nature. We had a lovely trip to Poppi castle, and into the town for delicious gelato. The area is not full of tourists, quite the opposite, which is exactly what we wanted! We also had a couple of successful walks from the house into Poppi, which is not far but a steep walk home in the heat. But enjoyable nonetheless. We would highly recommend this home for a holiday if you want peace and quiet and a truly relaxing time. Thank you Deborah!

Hidden Gem in Tuscany
From the moment we arrived at the hidden cottage through the picturesque hills of Tuscany, devoid of tourists and resplendent with views of times past, fragrant with lavender and an ever-constant hum of pollinating bees, we knew this was exactly the place where we could discover the simple beauty of this unspoiled valley. The house exceeded all expectations and was filled with details normally reserved for honored family guests like gorgeous, hand-stitched linens of such high quality my mother swore she'd not even use them for herself if they were hers. The spacious house allowed us all moments of quiet from the exuberant playings at the basketball hoop, pingpong table, and fantastic pool. A pergola of decades-old wisteria mixed with grapevines shades a lovingly maintained patio with a near-perfect view of Poppi Castle and the town that surrounds it. The home is clearly loved and it was a privilege to stay as a guest. Deborah was extremely helpful (well beyond what we would have expected): each of her recommendations for dining, horseback riding as well as things to do and see were happy successes. We all were already dreaming of returning to this beautiful place marking this as the kind of great vacation spot so good you plan your next visit while still there.

Peaceful escape
The property was exactly what we needed - a chance to relax and unwind in a home filled with rustic charm and views to die for. We loved the pool and enjoyed exploring the local area including Poppi Castle and beautiful restaurant La Torricella. Thank you for your hospitality and care Deborah - we hope we will be able to return from Australia one day!

Geweldig verblijf
Een zeer mooie en idyllische plek waar je helemaal tot rust kan komen. Heerlijk huis met veel sfeer en schaduwrijke tuin met veel verschillende zitplekken en prachtig uitzicht. Tijdens ons verblijf was het zwembad zeker de moeite waard en bood perfecte verkoeling. Alles was aanwezig voor een heerlijk verblijf en ook de kinderen konden zich goed vermaken met het zwembad, pingpongtafel en het buitenspeelgoed. Deborah draagt als host zeker bij aan het slagen van het verblijf. Van het verwelkomen tot het prettige contact tijdens het verblijf met de tips voor activiteiten, bezienswaardigheden etc.. Wij raden een verblijf bij Deborah van harte aan!

Blissful Week In Poppi
Perfectly positioned overlooking Poppi, this is a lovely Villa. Perfectly equipped for the 6 of us, everything about it was spot ons. From the good sized bedrooms, kitchen, living area's and with plenty of space for relaxing. Plus table tennis, boules and a good sized pool, we really enjoyed our stay. Deborah could not have been more attentive and helpful. Her help and advice, throughout our week was outstanding and made our stay very special.

Very homely, gorgeous views. The approach to the property was amusing! Private and secluded
The property has a well worn feel to it. The kitchen was well equipped although the dishwasher racks have lost their wheels and needed to be handled with care. Some light bulbs indoors and out were missing or not working. The bedroom layout was good and the bed linen very attractive. More clarity re the cleaning/bed changing needs to be made (I may have asked Brunella to do too much, but I was there for a month) I totally understand the need to be careful with water use, but we found that the hot water for showers was variable. We had a problem with the pump for the swimming pool, but after contacting the owner it was fixed and maintained quickly. Contact with the owner was efficient via text. The DVD player was not working (playing in black and white only) until my son-in-law fixed it during the second week. I would not have known what to do had it not been for him! Wifi efficient (until a storm knocked it out) but I was able to fix it with help from the owner. The property is on the side of a hill and the garden has some steep slopes up to the car parking area. The stairs in the house are steep, so children should be careful! Overall we had a lovely time.

Wunderschöne Lage, gemütliches, gut ausgestattetes Haus
Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Woche hier. Es ist alles da. Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Sogar ein Rühergerät, wenn auch ein älteres Modell, war da - Kuchenglück! Das ein oder andere Bett könnte eine neue Matratze vertragen, und hier und da gab es ein paar staubige Ecken. Aber insgesamt war alles superschön für uns hergerichtet, wir haben uns alle sehr wohl gefühlt!

lovely house in a beautiful setting
We had a wonderful time here, the house is fantastically appointed among the hills and there is the scent of lavender when you sit on the terrace in the evening .There are wonderful, completely unspoilt views over the hills from the pool side as well as the terrace and many of the rooms in the house. The house itself is clean, spacious, comfortable and characterful. Many places we have stayed in as holiday homes feel somewhat corporate and lacking personality wheres this is a gorgeous home with many lovely touches. The surrounding area is lovely and quiet and un touristy. Poppy itself is an interesting town with the lovely old castle area and its an easy drive to Arezzo and Sienna.

a great family house in a superb setting
Casa Poppi is a spacious house set in a field with a terrace that dominates the town of Poppi and the tuscan hills beyond.The interior has real personality, lovely paintings, comfortable and elegant furniture, functional kitchen and comfy beds which immediately made us feel we had found somewhere special. Whether inside by the fire place (in early October the nights can get chilly) or under the vine shaded south facing terrace outside, we felt able to relax and enjoy the countryside. Poppi is a castle town with great food shops and a weekly market. We visited Florence (where we landed), Arrezo and Sienna which are all within an hour or so of the house and went mushroom picking in the nearby forest to cook delicious tagliatelli al fungi. This is a great family house in a superb setting. Thank you

Brilliant Holiday Home
At the beginning of this April we stayed at Casa Feriale for a week with 5 adults and 3 children. We had nothing but sun and had a brilliant time in Poppi and surroundings! The house caters for all needs; its very spacious, fantastic views, plenty to do for kids (games and DVD's galore). Spent most of our days sun lounging on the patio (has sun from sunrise to sunset!) and exploring the region (Poppi, Arrezo, Florence). We had BBQ's most nights but also had dinner in some of the local restaurants which are great! Not an overly touristy area but that just added to the charm. Highly recommended!

Kids loved it
We had a great relaxing stay at casa Feriale during the las week of October 2010. It was such a nice relaxing stay. Our kids (1, 3 and 6) loved the house and all the DVDs and games. They also loved exploring outside and playing with the outdoor toys. The area is very relaxing. It's not overly touristy, which was a nice change with some good restaurants. Overall we had a great stry, our eldest son still talks about the vacation and asks when we can go back!

We had a wonderful autumn break in Casa Feriale, great walks, amazing views and lovely log fires. The house is beautiful, simple and well equipped and makes you feel you have really got away from it all. We returned home feeling great and really want to go back again. The owner was lovely and very helpful, the place was clean and full of beautiful objects and paintings. We would definitely recommend it. xxx

Good Fortune
I had the good fortune to spend five days at the end of April at Casa Ferali. It had been ten years since my last visit to the Poppi area and I confess I had forgotten just how stunningly beautiful it is. The house, nestled in the hills, has wonderful views of Poppi and the surrounding countryside. It is spacious and well appointed with large terraces, which are ideal for sunny days and cool evenings. Poppi is close by with shops, restaurants and, of course, the Castle. Camoldoli, with it's ancient monastery, is just twenty minutes away by car. Or, for those who take their walking seriously, a perfect destination. The woods and fields abound with birdlife and, best of all, the Nightingales sing all night long. I can't wait to go back.

in the Tuscan countryside
The farmhouse has a wonderful view of Poppi and is surrounded by fields, trees, deer, birds. A wonderful marble table encourages long meals outside on the terrace, and is an ideal place for reading/writing and other non physically demanding pursuits. Apart from this, the hills, woods and fields beckon and, if you have a car, travel is possible much further afield (also by train from Poppi railway station to, for example, Florence). No shortage of good restaurants. Owner very friendly and helpful. Well maintained house with plenty of facilities. We had a very enjoyable stay.
