Casa Michelangelo 6, Loro Ciuffenna, Arezzo and Cortona This slick white villa strikes a pose in the Tuscan landscape and will delight aesthetes with its clean, uncluttered style, neutral decor and modish furnishings. Set on a hillside near Arezzo, it is a relaxing place for a party of eight to kick back, with contemporary styling and a semi-open-plan layout boosting the light and bright appeal of these ground-floor lodgings. Indulgent touches include en-suites for each of the three double bedrooms, and a wide sheltered terrace looking out to the mountains beyond, an elegant place to while away lunch or dinner savouring local flavours and quaffing wine from the surrounding vineyards. A large pool of iridescent water is the main attraction, just a step or two across the neatly shorn grass. Here on the paved sundeck that sharply defines the water’s edges, wannabe models can drape themselves across soft white loungers and hammocks, contemplating a trip into bustling Loro Ciuffenna, the vision of medieval times that shimmers in the valley below.
