Superbly situated in a quiet valley in the foothills of the Appenines, halfway between the Mediterranean and the Adriatic,the Relais offers its guests a holiday experience of exceptional quality. The setting is one of great natural beauty, above the river Cerfone, below the abbey of San Veriano and around the tower itself, eighty hectares of private woodland with walks, waterfalls and a small lake. Today there are few traces of the watchtower which, in the Middle Ages, protected the Abbey from marauding strangers. Now strangers are welcome guests and are offered traditional Tuscan hospitality and the amenities of a modern relais.

Five double rooms a suite and a mini-apartment with central heating, min-bar, satellite television, telephone and all have superb views from the windows, which are equipped with mosquito-screens. A holiday in this accommodation offers refreshment to the mind as well as the body.

Its bar and restaurant provide Italian regional cooking with organic produce grown on its own farm.

Its swimming-pool (8x16) with magnificent panoramic views of the valley and surrounding hills provides relaxation and for the more energetic and their children a playing-field with football and bocce (Italian bowls) pitches pleasant exercise in the mild mountain climate.

This is the country of the great Italian Renaissance cultural sites such as Anghiari, Sansepolcro, Florence, Siena. Rome and Florence can also be reached easily by train from Arezzo. There is an hourly bus-service between Sansepolcro and Arezzo.

 Il Relais is situated at the centre of one of the most richly developed cultural regions of Italy. Join us at Il Relais for the holiday of a lifetime!
