The Experience

You have utter privacy in this hay barn with a garden, your own pool and gorgeous views. It’s a superb renovation, awash with space and light, true to the building’s age with the finest contemporary dash. Enter an open-plan living area with a TV and comfy sofa, Bose sound system, original art, the odd antique, freshly picked garden flowers. The kitchen is immaculate and you’ll find a Nespresso machine, bottles of the owners’ olive oil, and Vin Santo and biscotti.

Downstairs is a huge walk-in shower with organic extra virgin olive oil soap, then it’s up the open stone stairs to Busatti linens and a sumptuous bed. Outside find lavender bushes and potted mandarin trees, a well-stocked vegetable garden which you are welcome to pick from in season and a lovely terrace for barbecues and al fresco lunches and suppers.

The owners will also cook if given notice – the home-grown vegetables and olive oil are the biggest treat.

Reviews

As I stepped out of the car, I knew I had been here several years ago. I recognized the loggia and the tall fir tree next to it, and the barn beyond. A rush of well-being overtook me. I felt the same awe as when I first inspected the place, yet it now came full circle to really being Special. Kate's welcoming smile and her enthusiasm rubbed off on me, and I felt as if the years had never passed.

Le Caviere had all the ingredients for a true holiday: a stunning and secluded location, beautiful fresh air, and a blissfully comfortable bed. The Barn has been restored with immense care and attention to detail, with a fabulous shower and well-equipped kitchen, and the hosts could not have been kinder, sharing such generous hospitality and local tips. Whether you want to relax and luxuriate in glorious food, hills, and views, or admire art and history in nearby Sansepolcro, Arezzo, Anghiari and Bologna, this is a perfect place from which to switch off and sleep or set out and explore.

Le Caviere is the kind of hidden treasure I'd rather not talk too much about — precisely because I'd prefer it stayed hidden! But it's only fair to tell the world about it: this place is truly magical. The location is perfect, secluded far from the main road, with stunning views, and with all-day light. The house itself is extremely comfortable and well-stocked. There's brilliant hiking in the nearby mountains. Arezzo is only an hour away, Bologna just 90 minutes. The nearby hilltop town of Anghiari is another well-kept secret. And the owners (& their dogs) are warm, welcoming and generous.

Our stay at Le Caviere was an absolute delight. My wife and I spent five days at this spectacular Tuscany retreat. We were greeted by our gracious host and from the moment we arrived were treated like family. Our studio villa was finely appointed. The view out the ceiling to floor glass front offered a stunning panorama of fields, forest and the valley below. The pool, a short walk down the lane, was pristine and offered the same serene beauty found throughout Le Caviere ‘s perfectly manicured grounds. Fresh fruit and vegetables from the garden were scrumptious. A return visit is a certainty.


Rachel, Sherborne

We have had the most lovely week in Le Caviere - off the scale beautiful, completely immersed in Tuscan ruralness. It was such a luxury to have this heavenly place all to ourselves for the week. So lovely to go down to the veg garden and pick gorgeous things to eat. The hamper provided surpassed all our expectations. Our week has been filled with sunshine, wine, pasta, visits to Florence and authentic towns and truly breathtaking surroundings. Le Caviere is a very special place.


Location

The neighbourhood

You're 500 metres high in Piero della Francesca countryside on a landscaped terrace bordered by olive trees, a scenic pool and an inviting grassy field. Ask Kate about cooking lessons, hiking and biking with a local guide, even hiking with llamas in the mountains. Explore medieval Sansepolcro, a 15-minute drive, for a Romanesque cathedral, fine dining at Enoteca Guidi and much culture.
