Lying in the foothills of the Apennine Mountain Range, the ancient town of Arezzo spreads out across the fertile river valleys of the Arno, Tiber, Casentino, and Valdichiana. Just a 20-minute drive from the property Arezzo is a lovely medieval town with plenty of historical and cultural sites to visit and, of course, restaurants and shops. Renowned for its medieval architecture, with a spectacular old quarter, the town provided the setting for the film “Life is Beautiful”. Shoppers will enjoy Arezzos goldsmiths, jewellers, and antiques. Another one of the main attractions for visitors to Arezzo is San Francesco Church, Basilica San Francesco, which houses the famous Piero della Francesca frescoes. The villa makes a brilliant base for exploring the wider region and larger towns including Cortona, Florence, Siena and Montalcino, which are all within easy reach.
