Two Restored Villas with Private Pools and Established Holiday Business on the Umbria-Tuscany Border
Casale del Sole represents a rare opportunity to acquire two beautifully restored detached villas, each with its own private garden and swimming pool, set within the rolling countryside of Umbria close to the Tuscan border. Currently operated as a successful holiday rental business, the property combines flexible accommodation, attractive outdoor spaces, and an enviable location, making it equally suited as a hospitality venture, multi-generational family home, or private residence with guest accommodation.
The property is located in the municipality of Citerna in Umbria and is just a short drive from the charming medieval hilltop town itself. Despite its small size, Citerna boasts a welcoming atmosphere, a popular café, and two excellent restaurants. The location is ideally placed for exploring both Umbria and Tuscany, with the renowned Tuscan towns of Anghiari and Monterchi nearby, while Arezzo is approximately 30 minutes away and offers rail connections throughout Italy and beyond.
The property has been carefully maintained and provides exceptionally flexible accommodation, ideal for extended family living, holiday rentals, retreats, or use as a substantial private residence with separate guest accommodation. Each property has its own private swimming pool and private garden.
