Tuscany Tours around the Tiber Valley
The holiday
farmhouse lies in a valley that is full of history and arts treasures.
The Tiber valley ("Valtiberina") includes the towns of Sansepolcro, Anghiari, Caprese Michelangelo and Pieve Santo Stefano.
This land is the homeland of great artists with a worldwide fame, such as Michelangelo Buonarroti, Piero della Francesca, Luca Pacioli and Giovanni Papini.
The hills and woods of Valtiberina have made the background for many wonderful works of arts, like "The Resurrection",
"The Madonna del Parto", "The Battle of Anghiari", and these places have also been described in renown literary works, such as Caesar's "De Bello Civili" and the "Little flowers" by Saint Francis.
This borderline valley enclosed among the regions of Tuscany, Umbria, Marches and Emilia Romagna has a strategic position for tourists.
Indeed, you only need to drive short distances to reach well-known places like Assisi, Gubbio, Urbino, Spello, Perugia, Lake Trasimeno, Arezzo, Cortona, Castiglion Fiorentino, Siena, the Chianti region, San Gimignano, Florence, Poppi, Bologna, the lively seaside resorts of Emilia Romagna (e.g. Rimini and Riccione), and the citadels of San Marino and San Leo.
