Anghiari, One Of The Most Beautiful LittleTowns In Italy!

In the corner of Tuscany lies the charming medieval town of Anghiari where visitors can delight in the historical, cultural and picturesque riches that they’ll find in this treasured place. Anghiari was of extreme importance during the Middle Ages because of its strategic position in the hills. The famous Battle of Anghiari took place here in 1440 when Florentine troops, in alliance with the Pope, defeated the Milan army to win control of the region.

There are a wealth of places to visit if you’re here to explore the art and history of the town; it’s home to famous Renaissance artists, Michelangelo and Piero della Francesca. Tourists wishing to stay for a few days have a wonderful selection of villas with pool and rental accommodation with excellent reviews in Anghiari to choose from. Explore some of the local castles including the supposedly haunted Sorci Castle! Once lived in by mercenary captain, Baldaccio d’Anghiari in the 1200s, it’s rumoured that on summer evenings, one can hear the rattles of Baldaccio’s armour as his ghost floats around the castle!

There is a list of the official prettiest towns of Italy, I Borghi più Belli d'Italia, a title that is formally bestowed on the cleanest, best-preserved, most charming, and most quaint towns and villages all across the country. Tuscany, known to be an especially pretty region, is home to many of the big-hitters on this list with twenty-nine entries in total hailing from Tuscany alone. It is, therefore, quite hard to name one example as the uncontested prettiest town in Tuscany. In fact, depending on your perspective and your tastes, there are many excellent contenders with different selling points and atmospheres. If you are thinking of booking one of our astounding villas in Tuscany and you were dreaming of seeing the most charming and picturesque parts of this famously beautiful place then here are a list of just some of those contenders and some of our favourite towns to visit in Tuscany...

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.

Take a day during your Tuscan holiday to visit the spectacular Sorci castle in Anghiari in the province of Arezzo to learn about the legend of the famous mercenary leader, Baldaccio d’Anghiari! Visitors wishing to stay in the Anghiari area for a few days have a wealth of tuscan villas for rent available to rent all year around.

This castle is now a huge lavish hotel restaurant where you can walk around and envisage the stories that weave through its history. Sorci castle, built during the 12th century was also the inspiration for a well known Italian film, ‘Nothing left to do but cry’.

Sorci castle was Baldaccio’s home and he was a brave and strong military leader, greatly respected by the people of Anghiari. But during a gruesome conflict between him and his enemies, he was savagely beheaded in Palazzo Vecchio and his limp corpse was flung from a window onto Piazza Signoria in front of a terrified crowd!

During the month of June in Tuscany, a flurry of excitement is in the air! Throughout the region, some quaint little towns and villages celebrate their patron saint or engage in a friendly competition between districts in popular Italian events called Palios. Choose from a huge selection of spectacular villa rentals in Tuscany where you can relax and unwind after a few days of festival hopping!

Begin your festival hopping of Tuscany in June with a trip to the Orange Flag awarded town of Anghiari. The event is called the ‘Palio of the Victory of 1441’ which celebrates a very momentous day in this town’s history. Learn all about it here on June 29th and become embraced the warm welcome of the locals and their celebratory customs!

During your holiday travels of Tuscany, a worthy stop off for a few hours of exploration would most certainly be the town of Capolona.

It’s situated on the banks of the River Arno and lies close to the lively town of Arezzo. Known as the ‘Gateway’ to the Casentino area of Tuscany, Capolona has plenty to offer tourists in its own right.

Stay in a stunning villa with a swimming pool in Capolona to relax and unwind at after your exciting days of exploring the Casentino area.

Excellent 5^/5 Villa Review Rating Details

Sehr schöne Lage, Feriengenuss abseits der Gesellschaft. Man geniesst ruhige und erholsame Ferien für sich alleine. Sehr sauberer Pool. Der Hausmeister hat diesen auch jeden Morgen von Blättern und Insekten gereinigt.
Im Haus könnte man vor Bezug die Spinnennetze noch etwas sauberer entfernen. Ansonsten ist auch das Haus wirklich empfehlenswert. Gute Ausstattung und genügend Platz.
Würde dieses Objekt jedem weiterempfehlen.
Der Wegbeschrieb zum Restaurant, wo man den Schlüssel erhält, ist sehr schlecht beschrieben.
Besser wäre der Beschrieb: "von Angiari Richtung Arezzo bis Passhöhe, Restaurant befindet sich am rechten Strassenrabd auf dem Pass" - oder " von Arezzo Richtung Anghiari bis Passhöhe, das Restaurant befindet sich am linken Strassenrand genau auf der Passhöhe.

Very nice location, holiday pleasure away from the croud. You enjoy quiet and relaxing holidays for yourself. Very clean pool. The caretaker also cleaned it every morning from leaves and insects.
In front of the house one should have remove the spider webs a little besser. Otherwise, the house is really recommended. Good equipment and enough space.
Would recommend this object to anyone.
The directions to the restaurant, where you get the key, is very poorly described...

Die Sauberkeit ließ sehr zu wünschen übrig!
Funktionalität spez. der Küchengeräte nur teilweise gegeben.
Schlafräume mussten leider erst von uns gereinigt werden.

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] The cleanliness left a lot to be desired! Lack in the functionality especially of the kitchen appliances. We were unfortunately also obliged to clean up the bedrooms.
