Surroundings
Tuscany is a beautiful region in terms both historical and natural.
On foot you can take interesting walks in the surrounding hills where it is often easy to see wild animals such as deer, wild boar, foxes and raptors such as buzzard and hawks.
For those who want to enjoy an extraordinary view over the Val di Chiana, you can reach the village of Civitella which is about 1.5 km from the house. It’s a village mostly intact with the remains of a castle of Lombard origin. Also in Civitella are two restaurants, two bars, a butcher and grocer and ice cream parlour.
Around the area you can visit interesting towns and cities:
Arezzo, Cortona , Siena, Firenze, Pisa , San Gimignano and Pienza are only a few of the many in which Tuscany is rich.
There are also various restaurants in the area where you can taste the typical Tuscan cuisine, from simple to the most innovative; in both cases the common denominator is the use of excellent local ingredients.
