Castiglion Fiorentino, An Exciting Town In The Tuscan Hills!

If you’re holidaying in the Tuscany region of Italy, a worthwhile visit is to the Orange flag awarded town of Castiglion Fiorentino located in the centre of a triangle connecting the cities of Florence, Siena and Perugia. Castiglion Fiorentino is situated in the province of Arezzo in Tuscany and its origins date back to Etruscan times in the fourth century BC.

With its seal of tourism and environmental quality, it’s a wonderful reason to book into an amazing villa with pool in Castiglion Fiorentino where visitors can immerse themselves in the historical, cultural and environmental delights on offer here!

The charming Villa Toppani Del Sodo is a beautiful historic stone villa in Sodo, just 3km (2 miles) from the picturesque medieval town of Cortona.

Picture this, if you will: a pretty villa in a small town with the lush greenery of trees and views over the vineyards and rolling hills of the Tuscan countryside all around, a front entrance opening into a little court with flowers and trees, climbing blooms and vines winding up the sunny yellow facade of the villa, green shuttered windows, a romantic balcony on the first floor above the entrance, and a terracotta roof to top it off. This is the dreamy first encounter that guests have when they reach Villa Toppani Del Sodo and this very much sets the appropriate tone for your vacation here.

Cortona is a small town in the Arezzo province of Tuscany, Italy.

It was an Etruscan and Roman colony in the ancient times. It became a part of Italy after the Italian wars of independence. Legend has it that the city of Cortona was built by Crano, the son of Noah after he fell in love with the beautiful countryside and calm air of the area, about 273 years after the great flood.

The city is on top of a hill, about 600 meters above the sea level, and offer stunning views of the surrounding valley and Lake Trasimeno. It is enclosed by ancient walls, and boasts of several architectural masterpieces of the Roman and Etruscan period.

I recently stumbled across a Rick Steves radio interview of Frances Mayes, the author of 'Under the Tuscan Sun'. They discuss how getting in tune with living in Italy can change your sense of time and even help prioritize what matters most in life. Well worth a listen. For more information about renting a villa near Cortona, the setting of the book, please visit this web page and browse through the villas of Cortona.

Wij hebben een geweldige vakantie gehad. Het huis is gelegen op een heuvel met een prachtig uitzicht. Het huis was erg ruim en voorzien van alle gemakken. Ook het privé zwembad was erg mooi. De eigenaren wonen in het bovenste gedeelte, maar daar totaal geen last van gehad. Het zijn aardige mensen en we hebben ze bijna niet gezien, behalve als we een vraag hadden of toen er schoon linnengoed gebracht moest worden. De ligging in Toscane is uitstekend geschikt om diverse bezienswaardigheden te bekijken.
