Relax in a beautiful farmhouse located in a tranquil hamlet just outside the medieval town of Anghiari in Tuscany.

"Our family said it was the best holiday ever"

"We booked Casa Leana as a holiday first as we saw how kid friendly it was and our two boys (10 & 8 loved the games room, bikes, pool as well as chilling in the big lounge in the evening with the TV.
Our two year old girl loved the play room and also just the freedom of running through all the gardens. She also enjoyed a Daddy bike ride.
Anghiari is a beautiful place and Diana and Lee have made Casa Leana into something so wonderful.
We also decided to get married there when we saw that they offered wedding planning. It was a lovely day and well organised for the 25 of us.
Our family said it was the best holiday ever and we couldn't ask for more.
Thank you so much, Jen and Dan”
"Beautiful House, Beautiful Views, The Best Hosts" *****

"Within a couple of hours of a relatively straight forward drive from Pisa airport, Casa Leana offers everything we could have asked for. Beautiful house, beautiful views, the best hosts - fantastic recommendations, nothing was too much trouble. We nipped in to Pisa on arrival ( we chucked our bags into the hire cars and then took taxis in - seems easier, about €12) - a couple of hours here with the other tourists holding up the tower was just about right) .
We were lucky with the weather and therefore split our days with visits to Anghiari (10 mins), Citerna (20 mins) Citta di Castillo (30 mins, beautiful), Arezzo on market day ( (30 mins) , and lazing by the pool with the most perfect views. We ate out, we bbq’d, we had a meal cooked by the next door neighbour, we picnicked!
Had a fantastic day with Ravagni - wine and olive oil tasting, fantastic lunch with Francesco, the most amazing host/owner/tour guide/ entertainer!
We were going to visit Firenze but are saving that for our next visit, purely due to time. A week isn’t enough - every village or town we stopped off at were perfect.
Casa Leana itself is in a perfect location in a tiny hamlet overlooking fields and distant hills. The sunrise snd sunsets are great to watch from the balcony. Friendly neighbours, one even brought a bunch of flowers picked from her garden for my wife’s birthday. Bedrooms, living areas, games room, balconies all fantastic.
Honestly, we cannot recommend Casa Leana, with the back up of Di and Leigh, highly enough. Don’t book it when we want to go though. Or tell anyone…”
"Incredible Farmhouse in Tuscany" *****
Reviewed August, 2023
"A wonderful stay in Tuscany.
This is our 4th visit to Casa Leana and that should tell you everything that you need to know.
It is a beautiful setting in the Italian countryside with fabulous facilities.
Di and Leigh (the owners) have worked relentlessly over the last decade or so to make this place perfect.
The kitchen is phenomenal, the balcony and outside seating areas are wonderful. The pool is fab and the kids play area went down a treat.
Leigh used to be a wine buyer for Waitrose. There is an honesty bar system in the house and needless to say, the house prosecco and red are incredible (and very reasonably priced). There is also a wine cave to explore which is truly awesome.
We asked for recommendations for a local restaurant and if the owners could book it for us. They went in person to make sure we would get the best table - it was epic!
If you pushed me to come up with any downsides I would say you need to pack mozzie spray. But short of exterminating the entire insect population of Tuscany I don't see what more Di and Leigh could do!
I cannot recommend this place highly enough - book it now - but not for the week that we want to go next time!”
Road riding in Italy is an experience you will never forget. We use quiet roads, visiting medieval hilltop towns and villages passing castles, olive groves, lakes and vineyards with the odd cappuccino and ice cream thrown in along the way. You will ride roads that only a local would know, visiting sites that many tourists will never discover. Please visit our sister website cycling holidays italy
