Photos and Description of this Monterchi holiday apartment 1 double bedroom, 1 twin bedroom, 1 bathroom, sleeps 4/6

Casa Castagna is the lower part of a 1000 year old fortified watchtower, added to in around 1400 to form a casa padronale or manorhouse. The property, which is made of old stone and ancient timbers, was recently restored to its present fine condition and includes a modern kitchen and bathroom, open fireplace and central heating. Two of the rooms have beautiful stained glass windows and much of the furniture is new, handmade by local cabinetmakers. The rooms have terracotta tiled floors with cosy, colourful, oriental rugs. The kitchen has french windows opening directly onto the large terrace. The house is situated on a ridge of high ground and faces south. From the lush garden with fig and oak trees, and from the sunshine bathed terrace are magnificent views on either side across cultivated valleys to wooded hills beyond.

Casa Castagna is located in the small ancient hamlet of Fonaco, on a leafy ridge of high ground 3 miles to the southwest of the medieval hilltop village of Monterchi, famous for its fresco of the Madonna del Parto by Piero della Francesca, and situated in the heart of the birthplace of the Renaissance. The countryside around is entirely rural with wooded hills of chestnut and oak. In between are cultivated valleys with olive, grape and fields of sunflower. Monterchi is just to the west of the Upper Tiber Valley beyond which, and clearly visible from Fonaco, is the mountainous range of the Apennines. Within 20 minutes are the picturesque medieval and Renaissance small towns of Anghiari, Sansepolcro and Citta di Castello; all brimming with life, good shops and great restaurants. Just 35 minutes to the west is the city of Arezzo with its large ancient town centre, Roman amphitheatre, bright lights, glitzy shops and excellent main line rail communications.
