Description

This antique farm complex is situated in the mystical landscape of the Upper Tiber Valley, surrounded by softly rolling hills, cultivated fields, and woodlands that bear witness to the strongly agrarian character of Italy through the centuries - a past which has marked the land as clearly as it has shaped the people who continue to work it.

Located twenty minutes drive east of Arezzo, the property is in easy reach of towns rich in art and history, including Sansepolcro (birthplace of Piero della Francesca and proud keeper of some of his most famous paintings), Anghiari, Monterchi, Citerna, Città di Castello, and Caprese Michelangelo.
Slightly farther afield, but still within day-trip range are Florence, Assisi, Gubbio, Cortona, and a chain of sanctuaries built by Saint Francis and his followers, who sought out wild places of great natural beauty in which to meditate and give thanks.
