Location and distances


The property is located in the municipality of Foiano, in the centre of the fertile Val di Chiana, a farming area with a thriving production of oil and fine wine and where the prized Chianina cattle are bred. Foiano retains traces of an ancient past; inside the walls surrounding the old town centre, where, during February and March, the oldest carnival in Italy (the first accounts go back to 1539) is held, can be seen traces of Renaissance art. Particularly worthy of note and deserving a visit are the Church of SS. Trinità, with a painting of Pomarancio, the 15th century Church of Santa Maria della Fraternità, with a glazed terracotta attributed to Luca and Andrea della Robbia, and again, the Collegiate Church of San Martino, with a painting of the Coronation of the Virgin with Angels and Saints by Signorelli and a glazed terracotta, Madonna of the Girdle, attributed to Andrea della Robbia. Thanks to its excellent location, just minutes from the Siena-Bettolle link road which connects to the dual-carriageway to Perugia and to the Autostrada del Sole (the Valdichiana exit is just 4 km from the property), the tourist centres of the area can be easily reached: Siena, Arezzo, Perugia, the spas of Rapolano Terme and Chianciano, Cortona, Pienza, Montepulciano and many more. The railway station of Foiano is just 500 m away and the bigger one in Arezzo is about 29 km away. The airports in the region are Florence (107 km) and Pisa (177 km). The area is very well served by shops and shopping centres. Foiano (1.5 km) has all necessary services and shops to meet the needs and requirements of guests, Sinalunga (10 km) has a large shopping centre with a supermarket and just 5 minutes from the property is the Valdichiana Outlet Village. A short distance away (6 km) is the Golf Club Valdichiana, with a 9-hole course.

We would like to have somewhat better beds. Maybe that is because we are a bit older or spoiled. We like to read at night. If there would be more light outside that would be nice. In total, of all the houses that we rented, this was the best. The owner and his family are very friendly and always willing to help us.

Do you have any suggestions to improve the property?
We would like to have somewhat better beds. Maybe that is because we are a bit older or spoiled. We like to read at night. If there would be more light outside that would be nice. In total, of all the houses that we rented, this was the best. The owner and his family are very friendly and always willing to help us.
