Casa della Luce is set in the beautiful hills of Tuscany, halfway between Siena and Arezzo (25 km). From here, one can travel north to Florence (50 km) or Chianti, or explore the unique landscape of the Crete. Destinations like Pienza, Montalcino, and Montepulciano are within easy daytrip distance. The closest village is Ambra, just 7 km away, with shops, post office, pharmacy, coffee bars and restaurants. Facilities for horseback riding, polo, and wine tasting are available nearby, and excellent shopping (Gucci, Armani, Ferragamo, and many others) can be found at The Mall in Leccio (35 km).

Casa della Luce is located on the "Strada del Vino Terre di Arezzo" (the wine route). An unpaved road leads from the main road to this large estate, surrounded by olive groves, vineyards, and woodlands. The road can be rough so we recommend renting a car with four-wheel drive or with very high carriage. This charming farmhouse has been renovated to offer traditional Tuscan style with modern conveniences. The property has a well-kept, fenced garden of flowering plants and olive trees, and lovely outdoor spaces to relax or dine al fresco. The large patio has a pizza oven and BBQ, and the beautiful swimming pool (16 x 5 meters; open June 1-September 30) is equipped with lounge chairs and a comfortable futon in the shade. Just next to the pool area is a sauna and an extra bathroom with shower.

The owner lives in another villa on the estate, but it is 1.5 kilometers from the house and cottage, so guests have complete privacy with the security of knowing someone is nearby if needed.
