Farmhouses

Location

The farmhouse is located near Castiglion Fiorentino, a small town south of Arezzo rich in interesting monuments, in particular buildings of worship that house works by important Tuscan artists. The 14th-century town hall, Vasari's loggias in Piazza del Municipio and the church of Sant'Angelo al Cassero, decorated with various works by Giorgio Vasari, are worth a visit. The donjon, built around 1350 on a pre-existing Etruscan structure, towers over the town.

Every year, on the third Sunday of June Castiglion Fiorentino hosts the Palio dei Rioni, a horse race involving the three districts into which the town is divided: Cassero, Porta Fiorentina and Porta Romana.
