EN Culture and Living Traditions
Experience the Giostra del Saracino, a spectacular jousting tournament in Arezzo, or stroll through the steep alleys of Cortona, made world-famous by the book “Under the Tuscan Sun.” A stay in a charming holiday home in the hills near Arezzo gives you the freedom to discover these cultural treasures at your own pace.
Cuisine: Chianina Beef and Fine Wines
Tuscan cuisine around Arezzo delights with authentic specialities from southern Tuscany. The high-quality meat of the Chianina cattle—one of the largest and oldest cattle breeds in the world—forms the basis for the famous Bistecca alla Fiorentina. As a typical first course, we recommend handmade Pici, a traditional pasta from the Val di Chiana and southern Tuscany that pairs perfectly with select wines from the region. A holiday on a wine estate promises authentic moments of enjoyment, often directly with the producer and surrounded by the rolling countryside of Tuscany.
Wellness and Excursions
The thermal baths of Rapolano Terme are within easy reach and provide the perfect place to relax. At the same time, thanks to its convenient location, Arezzo is the ideal starting point for varied day trips to Florence or Perugia. In the evening, return to your holiday home with its own garden and enjoy the peace, privacy and relaxed atmosphere of the Tuscan countryside.
