The apartment:
The apartment is located on the first floor and was completely renovated in 2012. It is part of a three-storey building, which was renovated in the early 2000s. It is cool in summer and warm in winter, very quiet and bright. It has a large terrace with table and chairs for breakfast and a small vegetable garden.
It is equipped with independent heating, which can be turned on between October 15 and April 15 (unless otherwise provided by municipal law) for a maximum of 9 hours a day.
The neighbourhood:
The medieval neighbourhood is located just steps from the main monuments and the beautiful Piazza Grande, which is home of the Giostra del Saracino: a jousting tournament in medieval costume, which is held every year in June and September. Every first Sunday of the month and the previous Saturday, the famous Antiques Fair takes place in the surrounding streets of the old town. It is the oldest and the largest open-air event dedicated to antiques.
Florence, Siena and Perugia are less than an hour by car and/or public transport (train and bus). Nearby it is also possible to visit characteristic villages of the Val di Chiana (Cortona, Lucignano, Montepulciano...), Valtiberina (Sansepolcro, Anghiari, Città di Castello...) and the beautiful landscapes of Casentino.
