Location
The farmhouse is located near Montevarchi (Arezzo), in Upper Valdarno.
Upper Valdarno is the name of a wide area of Tuscany that stretches in the provinces of Arezzo and Florence, in which flows the most important Tuscan river: the Arno.
The most renowned place of tourist interest in Upper Valdarno is certainly the Benedictine abbey of Vallombrosa, situated in the homonymous forest. Nature lovers will find particularly interesting the cliffs of Castelfranco Piandiscò and Bandella Nature Reserve.
The Museum of Santa Maria delle Grazie in San Giovanni Valdarno houses a beautiful "Annunciation" by Beato Angelico. Worth a visit are also the medieval towns of Castelfranco di Sopra and Loro Ciuffenna, as well as the many churches and castles scattered between Arezzo and Florence.
