Anghiari is a medieval
village castled on the Tuscan hills, few miles away from the
green Umbria. In its old town centre among lanes and squares you
can find the warm welcome of “I Bastioni”.
For some days you can forget everyday
labours, be fascinated by the wonderful landscapes and breathe
art and history.
The lucky position of the village allows
to be near cities such as: Florence (50 miles), Arezzo (20 miles),
Perugia (40miles), and at the same time enjoy the quiet, the
peace and the excellent cooking of tuscan countryside.

At the foot of the village on June the
29th, 1440 took place an impressive battle between the Mialnese,
commanded by Niccolò Piccinino, and the Florentines remained
famous with the name of “Battagliadi Anghiari” and depicted,
among others by Leonardo da Vinci. In the range of 10
miles were born: Michelangelo, Piero della Francesca, Luca
Pacioli and Baldaccio. |

Land of artists and soldiers of fortune,
Anghiari still preserves an intact medieval charm that has
availed itself the prestigious national award “Bandiera
Arancione” (orange flag awarding the nicest villages in Italy),
synonymous of culture, history and we add, quality of
life.
