Sitting in a hillside hamlet in the heart of rural Tuscany, Villa Scotoni offers guests the perfect base for visiting the local historic villages and discovering the great range of outdoor and sporting activities on offer. With so much to see and do nearby, you will not have to go far to keep everyone entertained.

Just a short distance from the residence, a variety of dining options and shops await you in the neighbouring quaint villages. These charming locales also feature organic farms, family-operated vineyards, beautiful gardens, and the impressive Castello di Montecchio Vesponi—an enchanting castle that serves as an excellent endpoint for a leisurely countryside stroll. Some nearby farms even offer guided horse treks and Italian cookery classes, providing engaging activities for visitors of all ages without venturing far.

For a more extensive selection of restaurants and a delightful place for a wander, a visit to Cortona, just 5km away, is highly recommended. This walled, hilltop town perched 500 meters high offers breathtaking views of the Val di Chiana. Cortona’s rich history, originating from its Etruscan roots, is evident in its medieval and Renaissance architecture. Notable attractions include the Palazzo Casali, an 8th-century palace housing a local history museum, the original town gates, the Fortress del Girifalco constructed by Cosimo I de Medici, and captivating exhibitions at the Diocesano art museum.

For those craving the lively ambiance of a city, Arezzo, located 23km away by car, is an excellent choice. Steeped in history, Arezzo began as an ancient settlement over a millennium ago. Evolving into a vital trade route stop, the city witnessed numerous battles, necessitating the construction of its fortress, later rebuilt by the influential Medici family in 1500. Visitors can explore the fortress, now hosting art and history exhibitions, as well as a park within its grounds. Arezzo boasts additional landmarks, including The Basilica of Saint Francis, a Romanesque church showcasing Renaissance masterpieces by Piero della Francesca, and the National Museum of Medieval and Modern Art. The city’s labyrinthine streets feature palaces, churches, cafes, restaurants, shops, and markets, offering a vibrant tapestry of historical and cultural delights at every turn.

If you wish to, you can even visit the enchanting city of Siena which is under an hour’s drive away. 78km from the villa, Siena is one of Tuscany’s must-visit cities and is a truly incredible medieval centre, packed with art galleries and ornate churches, including the famous Duomo.
