A splendid farm (agriturismo) immersed in the charming Tuscan hills with a beautiful view over the “Valle Casentinese” valley. The surrounding area is beautiful, unspoilt, peaceful, away from traffic and does not suffer from a great influx of tourists.
Ornina is a very small village, but 5 to 10 minutes drive from the house you find groceries, restaurant, post office, bank etc.
The beautiful city of Arezzo is only 20 km away. Famous for its ancient churches and the stunning frescos by Piero della Francesca and every first weekend of the month it hosts Italy's most important antiques fair. And we were lucky to see the training for the “Giostra dei Saraceni”, a knightly game from the Middle Ages.
We have visited other famous cities such as Cortona, Florence, Siena, Montalcino, Pienza and San Gimignano, but we also enjoyed the small towns like Bibbiena and Poppi.
The family has an old tradition (10 generations) of making wine, just ask Marco and you can taste and buy the biologic wine “VALLECHIUSA”.
We have rented the house already tree times, and we will certainly go back again.
