Villas in Arezzo

In the southeast of Tuscany, there is Arezzo, city situated at the confluence of three valleys: Casentino, Valdarno Superiore and Valdcichiana; the Valtiberina is the fourth valley composing the province of Arezzo. This beautiful town in Tuscany was founded by the Etruscans and was one of the twelve most important cities that made up the so-called Dodecapoli. During the Middle Ages, the city was fortified with stones dismantled from old buildings, and from the eleventh century until 1384, was an independent city. In 1384, Florence conquered and incorporated it in the Tuscan State of Florence. In the heart of Arezzo, there is Piazza Grande, the center of the medieval city and Aretinian life. This is the site of the Giostra del Saracino (Joust of the Saracen), every first Sunday of June and September. La Giostra del Saracino is a tournament involving the four districts of Arezzo, represented by four riders who compete against each other with spears and ancient costumes. Close to Arezzo, lies the beautiful Tuscan countryside, a perfect starting point to explore the nearby cities of Florence and Siena, which offer a rich artistic and architectural heritage.
