Things to Do at Castello di Valenzano

Outside the castle, you'll find a nice, tree-shaded park with tables and benches fit to while away some pleasantly indolent hours. The staff can arrange hikes, mountain-bike tours or horse rides on request.

Within an easy drive are the city of Arezzo, the Casentino Valley, La Verna Sanctuary, and Cortona. The cities of Siena and Florence are about 1.5 hours' drive away.

Dining at Castello di Valenzano

The on-premises restaurant serves Tuscan specialties, with modernized re-inventions by Chef Simone Brodolini. Featured dishes may include "gnudo" a "naked" ravioli with filling but no pasta covering, tagliatelle with white pork ragu or tagliolini with truffles and asparagus, depending on the season.

Breakfast (which includes both sweet and savory dishes) is included with your overnight stay.
