Arezzo and La Torre are easily reached because of the area's excellent communication and transport system. The nearest airport is Florence, (1 hour), but Pisa, Forli, Bologna, Roma are all equally convenient. The main Italian autostrada -the A1, which runs North/South from Milan to Naples is just 20 minutes drive from La Torre. Arezzo's main line railway station is just a 10 minute drive from La Torre - However, to get the best out of Tuscany we suggest car hire is essential. Bagnoro, the nearest village is just 5 minutes drive away there is a shop/bar and it is open every day. Arezzo, 10 minutes drive away has everything the 21st century traveller could possibly need - banks, buses, taxis, shops, huge supermarkets, trains, restaurants, markets, museums, churches and countless other places of interest. La Torre is adjacent to a State park and from here there are many wonderful walks (some easy and some a little more demanding). Cortona, Siena, Florence less than an hour away.

Further details for this holiday cottage rental in Arezzo, Italy

La Torre and the Surrounding Area: La Torre is set on the boundary of a State park and from here there are many wonderful walks (some easy and some a little more demanding) in the woods, along country lanes and even to the top of Monte Lignano where you can see for around 60 miles - South to Lake Trasimeno and Monte Amiata beyond. Cortona - the beautiful setting for 'Under the Tuscan Sun' ( the book and the film) is just 40 minutes away - and it hasn't been spoilt. Siena and Florence - each with a proud and different history are only an hour from La Torre. The Chianti Classico wine area and the timeless Tuscan hill towns of Montacino, Montepulciano, Poppi, Anghiari and San Gimignano are all easy drives for the perfect Tuscan day - touring and tasting! You will not be disappointed!! The St. Francis of Assisi trail (Assisi also easily reached for a day trip), Etruscan historical sites, the birthplaces and locations of many recorded scenes of Michelangelo, Piero della Francesca and Leonardo da Vinci.

Arezzo - Italy's Best Kept Secret: The Arezzo antiques fair held on the first Sunday of every month and the Saturday before in the historic centre of Arezzo. It is a fantastic event - hundreds of stalls with items ranging from Medici fireplaces to lace table clothes - and all between. A great day for buying or browsing! The Giostra del Saracino, a medieval re-enactment, with hundreds of costumed participants, is held in June and September - similar to the Siena Palio but with Jousting not horse racing. Numerous International Music Festivals. Wine Tours. Truffle Hunting. Photographic Fair held twice a year in Arezzo. Finally the fashion designer outlets of Prada, Gucci ,Dolce & Gabbana, Ferragamo and Valentino and numerous others are all under an hour away by car. The area is also famed for its leather and gold industry. We'll give you the directions.

Walks and Treks for you to Enjoy: La Torre is ideally situated for the walker and the cyclist. Set on the slopes of Monte Lignano the area is criss-crossed with numerous ancient paths and tracks - some dating back to Etruscan tijmes (600-500 BC). The driveway of La Torre was an ancient roadway over the mountain linking Arezzo with Cortona to the South. It would have been used by pilgrims and messengers for hundreds of years. Many would have stopped here to refresh themselves at the nearby spring before going on their way. There is a sign-posted walk which passes right outside La Torre's gate which takes you to the summit of Monte Lignano and from here you can enjoy views stretching for more than 60 miiles. This whole area is a state park and is well served with sign-posted walks for walkers of every level. We have comprehensive maps to ensure your safe return!!

A Wonderful experience!

Harry & Sandra Charlottetown, Prince Edward island, Canada
Review Submitted: October 27, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
When my husband and I arranged our three week visit to Italy we planned it around our week in Tuscany since we expected that might be the highlight of our trip and we weren't disappointed. Although the entire trip was wonderful, our week in La Veduta was very special. Based on the site info and the reviews we had high expectations but the reality was even better. The cottage is ideal for a couple looking for a relaxed, comfortable, clean property with all the amenities you need for a week's vacation and some extra touches that were much appreciated.

La Veduta is a great location for numerous day trips and a wonderful place to come back to at the end of a busy day.

Sandra and Paul were wonderful hosts providing a good balance between privacy to their guests and great help, advice and suggestions when requested. Sandra's cooking lesson was a great learning and tasting experience as well as lots of fun.

We highly recommend La Veduta and hope to go back again ourselves sometime in the future!
Owner's Response: Thank you both for this warm and generous review and I am so pleased that we were able to provide the Tuscan experience you had hoped for. I'm glad you enjoyed the cooking class - your biscotti (among all the other things we made) were fantastic!! Best wishes and we do hope to see you again one day soon.

Absolute joy and peace

Review Submitted: September 6, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
If you are looking for the perfect holiday, it really does exist. We had two weeks of rest, relaxation and a few days of adventure. The setting on the hillside has to be seen to be believed, the pool is the perfect touch.
La Veduta is beautifully equipped, even a dish washer! The large lounge with Kitchen area is crisp and cool in the heat of the day, the bedroom, with fan provided invites a good nights sleep. The garden is a pleasure to walk around, well tended and cared for, topped off by a black lab named Vas.
Sandra and Paul have developed an excellent approach, they have invaluable knowledge of the area but are keen for their guests to leave them feeling as though they have had a holiday and recharged the batteries for the next twelve months.
This is our second stay and we will most definitely return - not sure if that's a threat or a promise! Many thanks Sandra and Paul for a fabulous holiday.
Owner's Response: Many thanks 'Zac' for this generous review, we are so glad we were again able to help you both re-energise for the coming year,hopefully not as stressful as the last.

We look forward to seeing you both again.

'Perfect'

tiggy201 Somerset, UK
Review Submitted: August 21, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
We had the most perfect week in La Veduta! After a warm welcome we set about chilling!. The cottage was everything we could have hoped for - from the ice trays for our G & T's to the disposable roasting dishes to save us washing up. But for us the best was the tranquil setting and the owner's recommendations, they were spot on. We loved Siena and Orvieto but we ran out of time before we got to see everything on our list - we'll have to go back. All in all a fabulous week!
Owner's Response: Dear 'tiggy201'

I think I have worked out who you are, and many many thanks for this lovely review - it came as a very pleasant surprise after so many weeks. So glad you had everything you needed and you enjoyed your stay with us.
As for Orvieto, this must be one of the only times when you can suggest that people 'Go to Hell'. The fantastic frescoes in the Orvieto Cathedral giving the artist's idea of hell is absolutely awesome. They must have scared the churchgoers rigid. They did me when I saw them.
Perhaps when you come again you could tie in your visit with the Palio in Siena - beginning of July and mid August.
So many thanks and we look forward to seeing you again.

Our home for 2 wonderful weeks

Roz and Rob Toronto, Canada
Review Submitted: October 21, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
We arrived at La Torre after 3 noisy poor-sleeping nights in Rome, and immediately began to settle into the quiet, and peace. We were warmly welcomed by Sandra, Paul and Vaz and their assistance, guidance and availability, whatever the reason or time, were always appreciated.
We didn't venture really far afield, with Florence by train and a day in Sienna being the farthest we chose to go. We really wanted to get a full sense of the Arezzo region, and took our suggestions and directions from the guest books, Sandra and Paul, and James(our GPS). We were never disappointed. Having spent 1 week in Il Bacio and 1 in La Veduta, it was great to experience both, so completely different and both very charming in their own way. Unfortunately the weather didn't meet our expectations, so we never got to enjoy lounging by the pool, but did have the opportunity to sit on our patio at La Veduta a few times, and could count on an almost nightly visit from Vaz, one night even forgetting to send him home, and had Sandra at our door with a flashlight rounding up her boy.
We fell in love with the part of Tuscany that we explored, and look forward to returning in the not too distant future.
Thanks for everything, Sandra and Paul, from the smallest detail to the big picture.
Owner's Response: Thank you both so much for this generous review - glad to see you got home safely. Coming to get Vaz back at bedtime, that was a first! He really does know where he is welcomed but always knows not to overstep that mark of familiarity. The best bit, we didn't train him, he just worked it out for himself. It's not often we have guests go from one cottage to another in the same holiday and I am sorry we didn't have your first choice for two straight weeks. However, it is helpful to others' experiences and comparisons because we love them both, but like you said they are completely different. I'm sorry that Europe decided on a cooler snap while you were here, a first for us in six years.We look forward to when we meet again but until then, thank you and best wishes. Sandra & Paul

The Perfect Week with the Perfect Hosts

Viv & Scott London, United Kingdom
Review Submitted: October 12, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
We had a perferct week in Tuscany staying at La Veduta. Paul and Sandra were pefect hosts and the location of Le Torre is ideal...perched on a hill at 500m you're treated to remarkable views of the surrounding area whilst you sup the local chianti on your private terrace. The adventures start straight away with the gardens and their little antique treasures from a roman cistern to 12th century castle stones. Once you venture further out the local area is magnificent with Poppi, Stia, Anghiari, Cortona and Gargonza all within easy driving distance and all offering a little slice of Tuscan heaven. Please visit Gargonza - you won't be disappointed and take a picnic!
Florence is magnificent and speaks for itself in volumes of guidebooks - "David" at the Academia Gallery is a must and worth the visit alone.
For the more adventurous Cinque Terre is a 3-4 hour drive north and worth a day if not two - the views and area are stunning and even in October the temperature was 32c.
All in all we were so pleased with the hospitality we received and the beauty of the cottage. It's facilities were second to none - so much so that it took us a matter of hours to refer to it as "home".
Sandra's recommendations of places to eat were welcomed and taken up and we were never disappointed with the food and the wine. The Tuscan's are friendly and courteous and always willing to help.
A great week we are keen to replicate next year and already looking forward to it.

Scott & Viv (London)
Owner's Response: Many thanks for this comprehensive review - it sums up so much of what we try to give our guests here at La Torre. There is so much to see locally and not so locally but if you just want to relax and chill that's here as well. We really look forward to seeing you next year with your parents. Best wishes and again many thanks for being such gorgeous guests.
