The Old Barn

The “Old Barn” house is situated atop a scenic hill in the Tipertoli homestead in San Martino Altoreggi at about 350 meters above sea level. With its spectacular panoramic views as far as the eye can see, the “Old Barn” acts as a natural terrace overlooking the upper Arno valley. You can see the slopes of the Chianti mountains to the southwest; the city of Arezzo to the southeast (on a clear day); the Pratomagno mountains to the east (which separate the Valdarno valley from the Casentino valley); and the slopes of the Tosco-Emiliano Apennine mountain chain to the north. The Tipertoli homestead is surrounded by olive trees, cypress tress, as well as oak and chestnut tree forests. It is located in the open countryside and offers a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere to the person who truly wishes to find the millenarian symbiosis that joins man with nature. Moreoever, the “Old Barn: is also the perfect point of departure to easily reach the artistic, historical, and natural places of Tuscany and neighboring regions, allowing excursions by car, motorcycle, and bicycle. We are in fact in the middle of a triangle where on each summit, you will find one of the three most famous cities for art: Florence, Siena, and Arezzo (check a map for exact distances). The three cities are all easily accessible via public transportation (train or bus) or private transportation. Additionally,the Chianti region with its characteristic villages and world renowned wine is very close by. The nearest village is Figline Valdarno.
