Visit The Picturesque Town Of Sarteano

Visit one of the most scenic places in all of Italy, the rustic town of Sarteano in the south of Tuscany! It’s an ancient town with an intricate network of narrow streets and alleys built at the base of a huge medieval castle dating from 1038. It stands on a plateau of Mount Cetona at over five hundred metres above sea level and is a perfect blend of manmade structures and nature.

This harmonious coexistence and varied range of interesting tourist attractions has earned it the esteemed Orange Flag award. Tourists wishing to stay here for a few days have a great choice of vacation rentals in Sarteano.

When one thinks of castles in Tuscany, the great urban palaces of the Medici tend to spring to mind. However, in reality, there are many more examples and a great deal of variety all across the region that are just waiting to be discovered.

Sarteano, for example, is a stunning Tuscan town that has long been a bit of a hidden gem and is very distinctive; a lush and green place with a medieval core and topped by its famous giant castle. The castle is the main highlight and dates to the twelfth or thirteenth century. It is surrounded by a double circle of walls enclosing an imposing square keep with round towers at the sides and is a bold and striking building in a perfectly strategic location. Bought by the city of Sarteano in 1998, it was opened to the public in 2006, after a long series of restoration works. Inside, you can explore the service rooms necessary for a castle to function, head to the ramparts for stunning views across the surrounding landscape, wander the courtyards and uncover secret passageways and outside you'll find the pretty park that the complex is located on. Just find a holiday rental in Sarteano and you can begin exploring this fascinating building.

Sarteano is a stunning Tuscan town that has long been a bit of a hidden gem. Only recently have its many attractions and boons have become public knowledge to a wider audience outside the region.

Just find a holiday rental in Sarteano and you can begin delving into everything the town has to offer.

If you’re interested in learning about the history of places you visit on holidays then a trip to the town of Chiusi in the Siena province of Tuscany could offer a very interesting day of discovery for you!

This area was once a very important district of Etruscan civilisation where a powerful king called Porsenna was buried. Visitors wishing to stay here for a few days have plenty of beautiful villas in Chiusi that are located nearby to this site. Porsenna was buried in an elaborate tomb within a complex labyrinth in an Etruscan burial site close to Chiusi.

Legend tells the story of his sarcophagus being laid to rest in a golden carriage guarded by golden statues of twelve horses, a brood hen and five thousand chicks, also made of gold. It is thought that this labyrinth was once part of ancient aqueduct system and dates back as far as 600BC.

The art of wine harvesting in Tuscany is treated with great reverence and can be something that tourists can enjoy getting involved in if they are planning a holiday here during the autumn months!

Everywhere you look in Tuscany; from the hills of Montepulciano to San Gimignano, it’s highly likely you’ll spot a vineyard or at least clusters of grape vines which families and local neighbourhoods come together to harvest.

Tourists have a wide range of wonderful accommodation to choose from all across Tuscany where you can witness the interesting process of turning ripened grapes into delicious red, white and rose wines. Why not stay in a beautiful luxury villa in San Gimignano where you can be close to all the action!

The little-known town of Chiusi in the Siena province of Tuscany is a bit of a hidden gem that offers stunning scenery, pretty buildings and a rich history. If you have found a vacation rental in Chiusi and are looking for a unique day out that is a little bit off the beaten track, it really is a perfect destination.

Between the 7th and 5th centuries BC, the area was one of the most important towns in the Etruscan Dodecapolis (league of twelve cities) and was where one of their most powerful kings called Porsenna is said to have been buried in an elaborate tomb within a complex labyrinth in an Etruscan burial site. In his Naturalis Historia, Pliny the Elder tells that the legendary Etruscan king Porsenna was buried in a majestic tomb inside an unfathomable labyrinth, with his sarcophagus laid to rest in a golden carriage that was guarded by golden statues of twelve horses, a brood hen and five thousand chicks, all also made of gold.

The unit was not easy to cook in as there was no real work surface and the world's smallest chopping board. There were lots of ants and many cockroaches.

Ein wunderbarer Ort, der viel Ruhe bietet, dennoch die Nähe zum nächsten Ort Sarteano mit vielen guten Restaurants und der pittoresken Altstadt. Moggiano ist liebevoll eingerichtet und wird gut und mit herzlichem Engagement der Besitzerin betreut. Der Pool ist groß, sehr sauber und bietet angenehme Erfrischung. Vom Haus und dem ganzen Gelände gibt es weite und wundervolle Aussichten auf die herrliche südtoskanische Landschaft.
Hier kann man wirklich entspannen und sich erholen!
