Laterina Spacious three bedroomed apartment. Private equipped terrace. Our house is placed on the triangle among Florence, Siena and Arezzo, we are in Chianti. The location is really excellent since is close to all the major Tuscan and Umbria cities. Sleeps 7/9. 3 bedrooms.
Our attractive holiday house has been created by the lovingly and painstakingly restoration of a XVII century farmhouse. The complex is divided into one cottage and four apartments, and is set on a panoramic position on the gentle slopes that descend towards the Arno river. The Compound is surrounded by a large fenced garden area equipped with tables, chairs and canopies, with a 7 x 12 meters swimming pool that has a part for children (3 x 3 meters). The quiet hilly panoramic area is only three kilometers from the beautiful medieval village of Laterina, the lodging enjoys countryside privacy, close proximity to the attractions and amenities of Arezzo, and it is the ideal base for many excursions in all of Central Italy. There are good motorways and rail links with the rest of Tuscany and taking the train you can be in the heart of Florence in about half an hour. Being in the centre of Tuscany you will be able to reach easily, Siena, Cortona, Lake Trasimeno, Perugia...
The area is full of nice restaurants, where you can taste the typical Tuscan cuisine.
