: people coming to Anghiari 1449 are surprised by the surrounding landscape that one can not adequately explain with pictures. Even the curious peculiarities of the structure, from ancient origins.
In over two centuries of life, the property was subject to renovation and expansion that testify to the traditions of the area in times of operations.
If I am not present in person, my parents and Dante and Romana receive you with sympathy, offer you the welcome and show you your accommodation.
Structure: choosing the apartment Filippo, you have a large room with the traditional fireplace of the old peasant houses, a double sofa bed and a fully equipped kitchenette. The two double bedrooms are decorated with traditional and original furniture, one of them may even be transformed into a room with two or three single beds. The original bathroom with shower also shows the traditional wooden staircase that leads to the attic.
If you are housed in the apartment Dante you have a nice living room with rustic furniture and kitchen area. The bedroom is furnished with traditional and original furnishings. The bathroom has a comfortable bath.
In the apartment Gianluca you can find in the large room with a kitchenette, double sofa bed and typical fireplace, that you can use for cooking grilled. Then you have a bathroom with shower. In the garden, or in a lounge you can consume a full breakfast.
Interiors: from the garden, overlooking on the Tiber valley and its tributaries, my father Dante illustrates you the nature around you and the activities taking place in our land.
You can do walks in our woods, in the olive grove, in the vineyard, and if the season is right, you can participate in the harvesting or in the collection of olives, vegetables and mushrooms.
With a mountain bike you can travel roads and paths to the country and neighbouring towns. In the surrounding hills there is an interesting series of ancient castles and villas of the Middle Ages and Renaissance that I call "The Castles of Sovara".
Nearest castles: a few kilometers one meet Anghiari, the Angularium of the Middle Ages, now cited in a guide as one of the "Most Beautiful Villages of Italy".
Just behind is Sansepolcro, birthplace of Piero della Francesca, one of the fathers of Italian Renaissance, where you can admire some of its important works.
After overcoming some hills, you can reach the small village of Caprese, where Michelangelo Buonarroti was born.
The entire Tiberina valley below offers many centres to visit, starting from Citta di Castello, the Roman Tifernum.
Anghiari: many guests like to make day trips in major cities of central Italy and they can do so, because Anghiari 1449 is the meeting point of four regions of Tuscany, Umbria, Marche and Romagna, and the roads are excellent. You can reach easily and see in one day: Arezzo, Florence, Siena, Perugia, Urbino, Assisi, Rimini, San Marino, Cortona and many other wonderful cities of ancient and medieval era and Renaissance.
If you want to travel unspoiled rivers, to visit lakes with clear waters, or if you rather prefer comfortable swimming pools, if you love horses, or many other sports, we will help you in the choice.
