About this property
Set deep within the rolling hills of Arezzo, Castel Federigo rises from a sea of olive groves and chestnut woods, its stone turrets and Renaissance loggias standing quietly against the vast Tuscan sky. Built in a distinctive square layout with four corner towers and a raised central body, this 16th-century castle offers an extraordinary escape steeped in heritage and charm.
Inside, twelve spacious bedrooms sleep up to twenty four guests, each offering its own unique character. Vaulted ceilings adorned with frescoes, painted wooden beams, antique furnishings and soft textiles from the renowned local weaver Busatti create a sense of quiet elegance throughout. One standout suite features a remarkable frescoed ceiling, while others look out to the hills or across the gardens below.
A glazed loggia leads to a small chapel, ideal for peaceful moments or simply basking in the filtered afternoon light. The main dining room, framed by French windows, opens onto a terrace for alfresco gatherings, with another table and chairs nestled in the garden.
Just above, a long, fenced pool offers breathtaking views over the Tuscan landscape, thoughtfully designed with young guests in mind. Castel Federigo invites you to celebrate, unwind and savour the timeless rhythm of rural Italy.
Tucked into the countryside of eastern Tuscany, Castel Federigo lies on the outskirts of Arezzo, a city steeped in Etruscan origins and Renaissance art. The estate is nestled beside the Sovara stream, once a vital medieval trade route, and remains remarkably peaceful today. Though secluded, the provincial Libbia road offers direct access to charming villages and the heart of Arezzo within easy reach.
This region is known for its olive oil, chestnut woods, and historic castles that watch over the valleys below. Spend your days discovering Romanesque churches, hilltop trattorias, and hidden antique shops. Wine tasting, hiking and cultural excursions are all within easy driving distance, while the immediate surroundings invite slow strolls, wildflower spotting and long, contemplative evenings beneath the stars.
