Book your villa in Tuscany and you’ll be able to easily organise your arrival thanks to these new direct flights...

Situated in close proximity to Florence and Arezzo, Loro Ciuffenna is a beautiful town nestled into the countryside at the foot of Mount Pratomagno. Visitors will benefit from the natural beauty that lies all around this town, including the banks of the river Arno and the unique rock formations made up of sand and clay. These are called "balze," and have provided inspiration to many artists throughout the years, including Leonardo da Vinci who would often come to this part of the Tuscan countryside to sketch and paint. The village itself seems forgotten by time, and you will feel the leisurely pace as you stroll through its winding pathways and gentle scenery. There are many small stone houses that are located in and around Loro Ciuffenna, with old bridges left over from the Middle Ages.

Visit Loro Ciuffenna

Loro Ciuffenna is located in the Arno Valley in Tuscany, Italy. When you visit Loro Ciuffenna you'll feel like you stepped back in time with it's narrow streets and alleys which date back to the Etruscan era. In the center of town there is an old Roman bridge that spans the raging currents below. An old mill, which recently closed, was powered by a water wheel for over 100 years and is still visible from the bridge today. Wandering through the streets is an amazing experience, if you're in the area be sure to stop and visit.

Loro Ciuffenna is located about halfway between Florence and Arezzo making it a great location for renting a villa. For such a small village there are a surprising number of good restaurants in town, as well as, nearby in Terranuova Bracciolini. If you're looking for a good Florentine steak be sure to visit Restaurante Il Cipresso in Loro. If you're in the mood for ice cream one of the best gelato shops in the area is located just before the bridge in the center of town.

Anatra In Porchetta

This recipe is a combination of the popular Porchetta with duck instead of the normal pork roast.

The Anatra in Porchetta offers a slightly different spin on the traditional dish that you are sure to find enjoyable.

Ingredients:

One whole, cleaned duck

Fennel seeds

Bunch of fresh fennel

4 Garlic Cloves

2 Peperoncini (chili peppers)

Fresh Sage

Fresh Rosemary

Salt and Pepper

Olive Oil

Glass of Red Wine

Between the tourist cities of Arezzo and Florence is the unusual erosive rock formation called ‘Le Balze of Valdarno’ meaning the Cliffs of Valdarno. The Balze are a series of large jutted rocks that rise high about the surrounding landscape in quite a striking fashion.

Stay in a beautiful holiday villa in Arezzo where you can easily travel to see this magnificent natural attraction.

Over the past few days we have taken a closer look at the Fattoria Della Nave in our Villa Spotlight. We have discussed the Parco Della Nave, the magnificent forest preserve on the property for the use of the guests.

Yesterday we saw the interiors of two of the buildings on the property, a total of five separate units of this large and luxurious multi-unit villa. Today we will be looking into the Valcellino part of the property, with its own five units: Luigi, Irene, Francesca, Maria Chiara, and the Anna Maria apartments.

We really enjoyed the owners and their villa. We would stay here again. The villa is off the beaten track but it is easy to get to all the sites of Tuscany.
