The charming medieval town of Anghiari, in the province of Arezzo, was of extreme importance during the Middle Ages due its strategic position on a hilltop in Tuscany. In a time where lands changed hands frequently, this positioning was useful in preventing it slipping from your own grip and into another's. It is also here that the famous Battle of Anghiari took place, in 1440 when Florentine troops defeated a Milanese army and gained control of the region. Said scene was famously depicted by Da Vinci, further solidifying the town's place and name in history. Today, it is an exceptionally pretty place with cobbled streets that wind up and down hills, quaint stone buildings draped in plants and flowers, cute restaurants and little stores, and more. It is also where an incredible craft fair takes place each Spring, showcasing extraordinary artisanal goods still made by traditional methods in the surrounding area. If you are interested in taking a step back in time and getting your hands on some truly unique souvenirs, it is a must-see destination. Just find a vacation rental in Anghiari, carve out some time to visit the fair, and be sure to leave some space in your suitcases to bring back the precious spoils of your venture.

Guest Reviews for Poggiodoro and Tobacco Loft
Poggiodoro
Poggiodoro was one of the highlights of our trip through Tuscany. The young owner/architects obviously put a lot of thought in the design and reconstruction of this amazing building and made this a truly great place to stay. Well Done!

Poggiodoro is truly set in the most beautiful location! The views of the Tuscan countryside are stunning.
The house itself has a wonderful rustic feel with wood beams and stone walls as well as having elements of modern design and comfort. This all works perfectly together. The bedrooms are beautifully designed with comfortable beds and great views. The kitchen has all the mod-cons, which is perfect for having days/nights in and cooking up a tasty meal. There is a nice big table in the front room which would be perfect for family meals.
We stayed in Poggiodoro for 5 nights and loved every second. Sitting round the pool with its gorgeous uninterrupted views was totally relaxing and a wonderful experience.
Although we never met the owners, they were very communicative via email and promptly answered all questions. Giovanni met us on the first day and was around during our stay and always happy to help with anything.
The neighbors are all very friendly and helpful and will recommend things to do and see.
