1 Review and 4 Opinions I come to Castiglion Fiorentino usually once or twice per year to visit some relatives. I use to...
Same as before: Cock-a-doodle-doo
iandsmith Says: So there I was, wandering the aforesaid pathway when I was assailed by a cacophany of fowl noises. No doubt anticipating my hands would soon dispense feed (were they to be disappointed!) all I could do was look at them and reminisce about my childhood and the joys of...
La Pievuccia: Tuscan farm stay
iandsmith Says: The Papini family, local vignerons in their spare time, along with looking after the chooks and other assorted animals, have broadened their horizons by establishing a B&B. It you're looking for that authentic Tuscan experience, then you could do worse than spend a few...
iandsmith Says: The beautiful Valle Di Chio ("Valle Di Dio" - exclaimed the Grand Duchess Ferdinando II de Medici whilst looking at the valley from the picturesque town of Castiglion Fiorentino). Surrounded by olive groves and the distinctive Tuscan countryside, it's what you have to drive...

iandsmith Says: This is one of the medieval gateways. Lit in that mood-enticing glow the figure above the arch appears to be entreating you inwards to some sort of unimaginable doom but, be not afraid, I can testify that beyond these walls the natives are harmless at night and it's a...
iandsmith Says: The front of the Collegiata di San Giuliano 14th. It's a fair assumption that, in a town that suffered damage during WWII, this was a victim and its "as new" look is a result of refurbishment since that time. I have to say I found the neo-classical facade with its...
iandsmith Says: The area of Castiglion Fiorentino has been inhabited since the pre-historic and proto-historic eras. The .inhabited nucleus was developed in the Etruscan period (6th - 5th c. BC) and the Hellenistic period (4th c. BC). After the Romans conquered the Arezzo territory they...

Arezzo had let me down. I had tried to get into a hotel and when I heard the price I thought, "I don't want to buy the hotel, I just want a room for the night." So I found myself en route to Cortona...
