Restored stone townhouse near Poppi — Casentino

The ground floor opens into a welcoming dining room and kitchen built around the hearth; a metal-and-wood staircase climbs to a restful bedroom and bathroom on the first floor, with a characterful attic above. A pellet stove feeds the radiators quietly in the background, and the fireplace can easily be ducted to heat the rooms — old-world charm, modern efficiency. Step outside onto the loggia and the valley opens up in front of you, framed by a fully working wood-burning oven rebuilt over the original — Sunday lunches practically write themselves. The surrounding hills are pure, untouched Casentino: ancient forests, clear streams, trails for walking and mountain biking right from the door. The current owners have lovingly renovated the home and run it alongside a similar property nearby as a holiday rental. It is sold fully furnished and turnkey, ready to live in, lend out, or both from day one. Real life is close at hand — Bibbiena 10 minutes, Poppi 15, Arezzo under an hour, Florence around 1h35, with Siena and Cortona within easy reach. Florence and Bologna airports both within 2h30. A small, soulful retreat in the heart of Tuscany — a private hideaway where the mountains, the village and a slower way of living do all the work for you.
