The Relais il Fienile features many pluses: a location near Arezzo, holiday apartments in Tuscany that are elegant, welcoming and environment-friendly, an ideal base for those seeking peace, good taste and comfort but wishing also to explore the many – and as of yet largely undiscovered – riches offered by the Casentino: scenery, touring and trekking, history, religion, art, artisan work, and shopping.

The building (an old barn restructured with traditional materials – local stone, exposed wooden beams, Florentine terracotta) is surrounded by a green, tree-lined park, a swimming pool, a large car-park, and several acres of estate. On the ground floor there are the reception rooms (a portico, sitting rooms for chatting or simply relaxing in, a dining and breakfast room). On the other floors there are the guests’ bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, and each tastefully and simply decorated.

Relais il Fienile follows a formula akin to that of the Relais in France, Country Houses in England and holiday apartments in Tuscany. A formula consisting of five basic ingredients: Character, Courtesy, Calm, Charm, Cuisine. In an environment where special attention is given to service and hospitality, the owners live in the house alongside their guests, serving a breakfast of homemade produce and, in August, dining at a family table – an opportunity for pleasurable conversation. The Relais il Fienile is therefore the ideal place for anyone seeking quiet and discreet hospitality near Arezzo, holiday apartments in Tuscany with a charming atmosphere, quality comfort in a family setting and at a particularly favourable price.
