See & Do

See & Do
Bag a sunlounger and do some bronzing around the pool, hire mountain bikes to pedal around nearby villages, or hit the vineyard trail and do some tasting. Trawl for antiques in the emporia of nearby Montevarchi, or take in a medieval castle. Florence and Sienna are both close enough for a day trip.

Diary Dates

Medieval jousting gets underway at Giostra del Saracino in Arezzo, with teams of crusading knights, parties and a procession.

2 July and 16 August
Siena’s famous Palio hits the streets, with what’s possibly the world’s most chaotic horse race.

A complimentary bottle of Prosecco.
