Read An Extract From 'The Piero Affair', A Memoir Of Tuscany!

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”..

Close to the fascinating ‘Le Balze’ geological site in Arezzo province is the pretty little town of Laterina. There are some beautiful churches here worth visiting such as the Oratory of San Biagio and the church of San Pietro.

Stay in a pretty vacation rental in Arezzo province for a few days and enjoy all the delights this area has to offer!

Why not drop by and see a fun medieval festival which is hosted in Laterina on the last weekend of July each year? Witness a melody of colour, song and dance and of course a fabulous outdoor feast to try all the local delicacies!

If you’re renting a car in Tuscany and want an itinerary of a few nice Tuscan town to explore then why not make a day trip through these three gems? All three are located in the Arezzo province so depending on where your Tuscan villa is situated you can start your day in either one. Let’s say you’re located closest to Stia town so we can describe how to travel between each one.

Stia is a charming town about 40 kilometres east of Florence and is nicknamed as the ‘Source of the Arno’ river. The true source actually originates further upon the slopes of Monte Falterona but Stia is the first town it flows through.

Ever dreamed of holidaying in a historic beauty or having a castle all to yourself? Then, you might be interested in some of our most incredible rentals; historic villas, palaces and castles located in the most scenic locations all across Tuscany. Here are more of our picks of ten of the best of the best of our fairytale rentals in Tuscany:

3. Poggio Cuculo (Not longer available)

Poggio Cuculo is a lovely 18th century villa located in Patrignone, 8km from Arezzo, in a scenic position surrounded by endless green fields, with sweeping views over the surrounding countryside.The property can sleep up to 12 guests comfortably in seven bedrooms with six bathrooms and features large, high-ceilinged interiors and spacious rooms with elegant modern decor and original details that remain, like wooden caisson ceilings, antique pieces of furniture and works of art.

With a lot of our holiday rentals in Tuscany, there are special add-ons that the owners of our villas can offer to further enhance and to enrich your trip such as tours of vineyards, having private chefs sent to prepare dinner in the villa for you, and cookery lessons exploring the best of local Tuscan cuisine. For many, these cookery lessons, in particular, are a very special highlight of their whole holiday in Tuscany that helps them learn more about, and learn to better appreciate, Tuscan cuisine and learn how to prepare delicious and authentic local dishes that they can then go and reproduce at home.

But just because so many of us are stuck at home at the moment, and this is not an option in person for the time being, it does not mean that we have to miss out! We have found a way to bring the experience of learning to prepare excellent local dishes from Tuscany with an experienced Tuscan cook to you at home! Have an authentic Tuscan cookery class virtually by checking out this series of videos from Irene, a villa-owner based in Valdarno in Tuscany. Irene has carefully designed a series of virtual cooking classes that she streams live, allowing us all to have our very own Tuscan cuisine experience from the comfort and safety of our own homes!

Look, Tuscany is not short on scenic destinations and pretty old towns with stunning historic cores. One of the main things that recommends Tuscany villas and vacations exploring this part of the world is the very fact that is seems like you can take in postcard perfect views no matter where you turn at any given moment. These views have made the region famous from the endless vineyards and delicious wines found in Chianti, to the famous rolling hills found all throughout the region but especially in areas like the Val D’Arno, to the charming medieval towns of Lucca and San Gimignano, to the beloved blockbuster cities like Pisa and Florence. All of these things are worth exploring and seeing with your own eyes, of course, but if you are after those looks and views without the more intense tourist crowds then there are plenty of less well-known areas that are just as gorgeous as their more famous counterparts.

Een fijn en schoon huis in een rustige en mooie omgeving. Ook de gastvrijheid van de huiseigenaren was fijn om te ervaren. Het zwembad is een heerlijke manier om verkoeling te zoeken tijdens warm weer. Het zwembad en de tuin worden regelmatig onderhouden. De bedden zijn alleen niet van hele goede kwaliteit en sommige douches zijn aan vervanging toe.

We had a wonderful stay in vilino alba. House is perfectly equiped and we had a nice time with the whole family.
Location on a hill allowed for a constant breeze, very nice during the heatwave.
The only the way to the house is a small road full of sand and stones, ok if you drive very slowly.
Two minor points, during our stay due to the heat the color of the Swimming pool turned green, so the owners came to rescue and solved the problem very quickly.
Second unexpected was the extra cost for the usage of the jacuzzi. Not well described and even taken of the deposit at the end of our stay. Unpleasant surprise at the end.

Hervorragendes Ferienhaus/Villa mit Pool, Whirlpool und Aussicht auf die Stadt/Landschaft. Sehr liebevoll eingerichtet. Alles vorhanden von Gläser bis zur Spül-, Waschmaschine, Herd, insgesamt 3 Küchen, 3 getrennte Häuser (Haus 2 und drei mit einer verschließbaren Tür verbunden). Fas alleingelegenes Haus auf einem Hügel in der nähe von Arezzo. Die erste Anfahrt erwies sich als ein Erlebnis, da wir den falschen Weg genommen haben. Deshalb die Anfahrtsbeschreibung genau lesen, dann kommt man auch gleich an. Haben einen herrlichen Urlaub verbracht. Tagesausflüge nach Florenz, Pisa, Rom, Chinque Terre sind durchaus möglich. Aber ebenso ist das Entspannen am Pool oder das Flanieren durch Arezzo eine schöne Abwechslung. Die Vermieter sind sehr nett und geben gerne Auskunft. Wir haben uns an einem Abend ausgesperrt, da sind sie sogar Nachts um halb 12 noch gekommen und haben uns aufgesperrt. Am Samstag haben Sie uns einen Kuchen und einen Likör vorbeigebracht - richtig nett von ihnen. Den Pool haben sie regelmäßig während unseres Aufenthaltes gereinigt. Zu Beginn stand ein Willkommenskorb mit verschiedenen regionalen Lebensmittel, Masken und Desinfektionsmittel zur Verfügung. Das Haus ist sehr sauber. Es gibt nichts einzuwenden. Wir verbringen dort definitiv wieder den Urlaub. Zum Schluss wollten wir noch ein Trinkgeld geben, welches Sie dankend abgelehnt haben und sie gesagt haben, wir sollen uns davon lieber etwas anderes auf unserem Heimweg kaufen. Das Ferienhaus sieht auch wirklich wie auf den Bildern aus. Es ist einfach wirklich 5 Sterne wert.

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Superb house / villa with pool, hot tub and city / countryside views. Very lovingly furnished. Everything available from glasses to dishwasher, washing machine, stove, a total of 3 kitchens, 3 separate units (house 2 and 3 connected by a lockable door). Almost solitary house on a hill near Arezzo. The first approach turned out to be an experience as we took the wrong route. Therefore read the directions carefully, then you will arrive immediately. Had a wonderful vacation. Day trips to Florence, Pisa, Rome, Chinque Terre are quite possible. But relaxing by the pool or strolling through Arezzo is also a nice change. The landlords are very nice and are happy to provide information. We locked ourselves out one evening when they even came at half past eleven and unlocked us. On Saturday they brought us a cake and a liqueur - really nice. They cleaned the pool regularly during our stay. At the beginning there was a welcome basket with various regional foods, masks and disinfectants. The house is very clean. There is nothing wrong with that. We will definitely spend the vacation there again. At the end we wanted to give a tip, which they declined with thanks and said we should buy something else on our way home. The holiday home really looks like the pictures. It is just really worth 5 stars.

La villa est vraiment très agréable et très au calme. Elle est très spacieuse, bien entretenue avec un beau terrain et une piscine magnifique. La vue est splendide et les accès pour bouger Dans la région sont très pratiques. Les propriétaires ont été très gentils et très à l’ecoute. Ils nous ont offerts des fruits, des biscuits et du vin. Nous etions 11 personnes et chacun a trouvé sa place. Le barbecue et la terrasse ombragés nous ont permis de passer d’excellentes soirées. Nous recommandons vraiment cette maison car elle a tout pour plaire.

Wir waren mit einer Gruppe von 10 Motorradreisenden in dieser schönen Villa.
Die Villa liegt versteckt in einer wundervollen Traumlage. Die Aussicht auf die Umgebung von Arezzo ist gigantisch.
Die Ausstattung der Villa ist für größere Familien, aber auch für kleinere Gruppen vollkommen ausreichend. Für kühle Abende steht ein sehr gemütlicher Holzofen in der Wohnküche zur Verfügung. Das Highlight war der Jacuzzi und der schöne Pool. Es gibt nicht schöneres, als nach einer langen Motorradtour in einem warmen Whirpool mit einem kühlen Bier zu verweilen ;-) Die Vermieter waren überaus freundlich und hilfsbereit. Am vorletzten Tag brachten sie uns einen super leckeren Apfelbiskuit-Kuchen. 10 Sterne alleine schon für diesen Apfelkuchen ! Für diese Anlage gibt es nur eine Bewertung: FABELHAFT !!!
