Villa Ferraguzzo is a stunning, independent stone farmhouse nestled in the rolling hills above Anghiari, a picture-perfect medieval Tuscan village. Set within 54 acres of private farmlands and ancient oak forests, this historic property beautifully blends traditional Tuscan architecture—like massive chestnut beams and terracotta floors—with high-end modern comforts.
Perfect for groups of 8 to 14 guests, the villa features 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. To offer the best flexibility, smaller groups can also rent the villa at a reduced rate with fewer bedrooms opened.

The Grounds: Premium Pool & "Al Fresco" Living
The outdoor spaces are designed like a private park, surrounded by meandering stone walls, flower walkways, and lawns ideal for yoga, meditation, or morning stretches.
