Agriturismo La Casina

Bring your walking shoes, because there are some lovely trails nearby, taking you through forests of oak and chestnut trees, along lakesides and up hills for some great views of the Tuscan countryside. There are wineries and local food producers dotted around, along with historic sights like the La Verna Franciscan sanctuary (35 minutes’ drive). You’ll certainly want to pay a visit to Caprese Michelangelo (10 minutes) for the Birth House of Michelangelo Buonarroti Museum, housing some of his early sketches along with a contemporary sculpture collection. After that, check out some of the other local towns – perhaps strolling through the gorgeous streets of Anghiari (15 minutes) or visiting the various museums of Sansepolcro (25 minutes). If you’re into your art and heritage, you should certainly spend a day exploring Arezzo (45 minutes) – look out for the Roman amphitheatre and the Gothic cathedral as well as museums showcasing art from across the ages, from medieval to modern.
