It is the town of masters goldsmiths (its ancient streets are full of goldsmith workshops) and antiques (an international antique fair takes place on the first Sunday of each month), of the Chimera (the Etruscan bronze sculpture representing a lion with a serpent for a tail and a goat`s head growing from its back) and Vasari (the internationally renowned artist and historian of art).
In short, we are talking about Arezzo.

If you are planning to spend your vacations in Tuscany , why do not you take into consideration the possibility of renting a farmhouse in Arezzo for one or more weeks ?

Farmhouses, also known as "case del contadino" (peasant houses) or "casolari" (cottages), are widely spread in the Tuscan countryside. Generally built between the 16th and the 19th century, they have two or more floors, spacious rooms full of light, porches or loggias and, sometimes, even a pigeonry overlooking the surrounding countryside.

In conclusion, Arezzo`s farmhouses are the ideal accommodation for those who are dreaming for slow holidays... made of peace, privacy and contact with unspoilt nature .

And if you wish to increase your cultural knowledge... well, you could leave your farmhouse in Arezzo at the discovery of the Crucifix by Cimabue in the Church of San Domenico, of the frescoes by Piero della Francesca in the Church of San Francesco and of those by Vasari exposed in his house, which has now been transformed into a museum.

Have a good holiday in a farmhouse in Arezzo !
