Luxury Villas

Location

The luxurious villa is situated in Upper Valdarno, a few kilometres from Arezzo.

Arezzo is a city in south-eastern Tuscany located at the confluence of four valleys: Casentino, Upper Valdarno, Valdichiana and Valtiberina. Arezzo was founded in an area inhabited since prehistory and became an important Etruscan town, as demonstrates the famous bronze statue called "Chimera", which was found in proximity to the town in 1533; nowadays the statue is on display in Florence.

Arezzo, today renowned as the town of gold, gave birth to many important figures in Italian history and culture, including the poet Francesco Petrarca (Petrarch) and Giorgio Vasari. The church of San Francesco houses the "Legend of the True Cross", the famous cycle of frescoes by Piero della Francesca.

Every month Piazza Grande and the neighbouring streets host an important antique fair. Last but not least, between the end of August and the first week of September in Arezzo takes place the famous "Giostra del Saracino".
