Your vacation holiday in Tuscany Arezzo

Parishes and castles of the Casentino

Traces of the medieval period are present in every angle of the valley.
The tour of the parishes and the medieval castles is an itinerary that ripercorre the natural run of the river Arno where these buildings rose and we feel there to recommend him/it to whom the Casentino has never visited because it is very suggestive

The parish of Sietina

Near to our house vacations it is the parish of Saint Maria to Sietina, that preserve still today his/her charm of medieval structure with stupendous frescos of XIV century.

Crossing the government Road 71 umbros casentinese from Arezzo toward the Casentino meets him for first Castel Nuovo.

Castle of Valenzano

Leaving the main statal road 71 in the place named Calbenzano you can reach to Valenzano.
The castle that passed for different ownership during the centuries. It was administered by the Rondinelli family of Arezzo for about 400 years up to how much the Bastogis at the end of the century XIX decided to turn him/it into abode second the neogothic taste of the time

The other castles

Moving himself/herself/itself more to North, from Rassina up to Coop we meet other castles or ruins of castles as Castel Focognano and Gressa next to Bibbiena and so many others in good part made to build from the noble family of the Conti Guidi what they dominated the Casentino up to XIV century.

The castle of Poppi

The castle of you Poppi surely deserves a visit first of all for its privileged position from which entirely dominates the Casentino valley, from the Pratomagno to the mountain of the Verna.
the castle preserves the inside courtyard, the cistern, the saloons (centers of the Library Rilliana and of shows in the summer) and paintings of Taddeo Gaddi a painter near to Giotto.
