Chestnut forests, rolling hills and summer fields of sunflowers – it’s no wonder this part of rural Tuscany has inspired some of the greatest artists over time including the renowned sculptor Michelangelo who was born just a few kilometres away.
Immerse yourself in the incredible landscapes of this captivating region during your stay at Casa Michelangelo, an inviting 3-bedroom abode with lovely views of woodland from the swimming pool. It’s ideal for a small group of friends or family looking to get away from it all and experience tranquil Tuscany at its best. Inside you will find grand fireplaces, original floors, exposed stone walls and a traditional yet welcoming ambience. This pretty home is all about rustic simplicity alongside an air of romance across its three double bedrooms. Its warmth and authenticity are sure to enchant guests looking for a peaceful retreat.
Wander around the glorious grounds, dine on the terrace looking out towards the countryside and cool off in the swimming pool on warm summer days. If you can bear to leave your refuge then within a ten-minute drive you can be exploring the historic local village on the banks of the Tiber or visiting the birthplace of Michelangelo.
Art-lovers will also adore Sansepolcro with its museum featuring artwork by Piero della Francesca or be inspired by the beauty of Anghiari as you wander around its flower filled lanes taking in the mesmerising vistas from the town’s medieval walls. The impressive city of Arezzo is also a great place to spend the day or head further afield to Emilia-Romagna, Umbria and Le Marche.
That said, you may prefer to gently relax your pace and discover the delights around you with wonderful walks and horse-riding through the forests, fishing, wind-surfing or canoeing in the lake and dining in agriturismi serving locally foraged mushrooms and chestnut dishes.
Whether you’re a lover of Tuscan cuisine, an appreciator of the arts or just wanting to embrace the natural beauty of this region, there’s no doubt that the Val Tiberina is the place of Italophiles’ dreams.
