Civitella In Val Di Chiana, A Ancient Military Town

Head for the hills, to the walled village of Citivella in Val di Chiana situated on the western border of Tuscany for an enriching tourist experience! This ancient town, dating as far back as Etruscan times, was heavily guarded by a massive castle fortress dating from the late 6th century. During the Middle Ages it was the headquarters of the medieval military region of the Ambra Valley.

Tourists would be sure to enjoy a relaxing stay at one of many top rated farmhouse rentals in the Val di Chiana region surrounding Civitella listed on our Tuscany-villas website.

Detail of the Mona Lisa with the bridge in the backdrop

Upon seeing the beyond famous artwork with their own eyes for the first time, many are so focused on the famous Mona Lisa’s mysterious smile that they do not really take the time to pay attention to the rest of the painting. In particular, few actually get the chance to properly admire the beautiful backdrop of the Tuscan landscape behind her, especially as jostling to get a view in the Louvre can be tricky. However, if you want to go admire that landscape in person yourself without the crowds all around, then you just need to book a villa in Tuscany and head to Val Di Chiana.

Once you get to this part of the region, not far from Arezzo, you will find the Romanesque Ponte Buriano bridge in the Penna Nature Reserve in Civitella in Val di Chiana. While not immediately striking to some, this is the very bridge that can be seen over the shoulder of the iconic figure.

If you are a true art lover then you might be interested in art experiences in Tuscany beyond visits to the famous galleries and museums and churches; you may be interested in something more unique and something more behind the scenes. There are, for example, several childhood homes of great artists (like Michelangelo and Da Vinci) that are now preserved as museums and open to the public that you can visit. However, going even beyond the artist into the works themselves, there are sites and locations that have become famous as the backdrops of great works of art, which makes sense as the landscape of Tuscany is painterly in its beauty.

Travel to Tuscany through the enchanting pages of ‘The Piero Affair’, a memoir written by Pat Musick detailing her experiences of living in Tuscany and her fascination with the Renaissance master of art, Piero della Francesca.

Be inspired from this thrilling read to book a charming villa in Arezzo area of Tuscany, the birthplace of this Renaissance man and the home to many interesting tourist attractions!

Here is an intriguing extract from her book describing one of her experiences in the Tuscan town of Civitella:

“At the end of the street running off of the piazza, stand the ruins of the old castle. I am not sure if this was destroyed in 1944 or earlier, but it is a powerful site to visit. Architecturally stunning, even in its damaged condition, it is made of the creamy honey colored stone of so many Tuscan buildings. It looks as though a giant artist had taken the bombs (or stone throwers and battering rams in another time) and crafted a sculpture to honor all fallen dwellings”..

Heerlijke vakantie gehad in deze zeer ruime authentieke Toscaanse villa!
Met 4 volwassenen en 4 tieners bood dit huis en tuin met groot zwembad méér dan de nodige ruimte. De eigenares ontving ons heel vriendelijk en had iets lekkers in de koelkast klaargezet. We mochten haar altijd contacteren en toen er een probleempje was met het warm water, reageerde zij onmiddellijk en werd het euvel snel door haar broer opgelost.
Alles was (redelijk) voorhanden: messen en vorken in overvloed, soeplepels en koffielepels wat minder. Wijnglazen mochten er ook meer zijn, die hebben we zelf dan maar bijgekocht en achtergelaten. ;-) In de beschrijving stond dat er 4 ventilators waren, wij vonden er maar 1. We hebben ze echter niet gemist, want het huis blijft relatief koel.
Wat we wel misten was een koffiezetapparaat dat er volgens de beschrijving ook zou moeten zijn. Er was enkel een kleine bialetti aanwezig. Een echt koffieapparaat of een grotere bialetti zou welkom geweest zijn.
Verder niets dan lof voor dit ruime huis met mooie, grote, goed onderhouden tuin en heerlijk zwembad!

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] We had a wonderful holiday in this very spacious authentic Tuscan villa!
With 4 adults and 4 teenagers, this house and garden with large swimming pool offered more than the necessary space. The owner received us very friendly and had prepared something tasty in the fridge. We were always allowed to contact her and when there was a problem with the hot water, she responded immediately and the problem was quickly resolved by her brother.
Everything was (reasonably) available: knives and forks in abundance, soup spoons and coffee spoons less so. Wine glasses could be more, we bought them ourselves and left them behind. ;-) The description stated that there were 4 fans, we only found 1. We did not miss them, because the house remains relatively cool.
What we did miss was a coffee machine that should be there according to the description. Only a small Bialetti was present. A real coffee machine or a larger Bialetti would have been welcome.
Furthermore, nothing but praise for this spacious house with beautiful, large, well-maintained garden and lovely swimming pool!
