Location
This house is ideally situated for guests to get the most out of Tuscany, in terms of history and culture, as well as food and wine. It is just 600m from the medieval village of Laterina Pergine Valdarno. On the last weekend of July, the village returns to its medieval past with a festival of processions, acrobats, jesters and jugglers. The area is a triangle between Arezzo (25 minutes), Siena (40 minutes) and Florence (1 hour). Each city makes an easy and fascinating day trip. The house is in the Chianti region so there are many vineyards close by where visitors can try and buy the fine local wines.

For keen shoppers, The Mall Firenze, a collection of famous Italian designer outlets, is just 40 minutes away.

There are some excellent restaurants close by, but for self-catering, the local markets are not to be missed. Arezzo’s weekly market is on Saturday in Viale Giotto.

The closest airport is in Florence, 1 hour away. Please note that the pool is open from the 1st of July 2024 to the 31st of October 2024
