Charming residence in Tuscany

This is a lovely farmhouse dating back to the XI century that has been completely restored.

Situated in a strategic position on the mountain pass between Tuscany and Umbria it is a perfect starting point for those who wish to spend a holiday of relaxation and cultural enjoyment.

The Villa is situated on the ridge that divides the Arno valley from the Tiber valley, at a height of about 600 m, in an area rich in green woods and gravelled paths that, since ancient times, have inspired the great Masters in the creation of remarkable paintings.

LEONARDO DA VINCI himself knew these places very well, and the proof of it is that in the map of the Chiana Valley, painted by the famous Master, the property is shown, together with the other medieval small towns, near the Castle of Montauto.

The hill of Montauto and its surrounding landscape, depicted in the background of the famous Resurrection by PIERO DELLA FRANCESCA, can be enjoyed from the ancient sentry post, located in the upper part of the Villa. Not far from the Villa, you can walk along the same paths that St. Francis of Assisi used to take on his way to la Verna, and along which he performed many miracles. A small chapel in the Castle of Montauto still bears his name.

We would like our guests to feel that once they are here, they have the rare opportunity of being in direct contact with the culture and history that these remarkable figures have handed down through their works.

Either on a mountain bike or by horse on Fransciscan routes Castle of Montauto, Convent of Montauto, Convent of the Cross, at la Verna, Hermitage of Montecasale, Santa Maria di Cerbaiolo.

The property also provides for guests a big outdoor swimming pool nestling in the green of the trees, a small football pitch, bowling green, and ping-pong tables.

Tennis courts and riding schools can be easily booked in Anghiari and Sansepolcro.

Courses of antique furniture restoration and inlaying techniques. Under the guidance of Mastro Santi, skilled in restoring and preserving works of art, we can arrange 3-7 day courses inclusive of the stay at the property and lessons at his workshop.

Watercolour courses upon request.

Important initiatives of an international nature attract enthusiasts every year from all over the world: the Palio horse race, the Saracino Joust and the Antique Furniture Exhibition (the first weekend of every month), the International Music Festival of Città di Castello.

For those who are fond of traditional gastronomy, several fairs and family-run trattorias offer the local authentic products of the Tuscan and Umbrian cuisine.
