Casa Rivolta is an old farm which is located in the Aretine hills between Arezzo and Sansepolcro.
Anghiari is 7 kilometres from the village of Cafaggio where you will be based. This is an extremely well-preserved medieval town of rare beauty which is held atop the hills by imposing walls and fortifications.
Inside walls of the city it seems as though time stands still; the streets and squares holding the town's fascinating history within for safekeeping.
Anghiari, located high on a hill in the province of Arezzo, is a splendid, intact medieval town surrounded by ancient city walls.Cafaggio is found on one of the many surrounding hills.
Casa Rivolta located in Cafaggio, is an old rural home, in a beautifully panoramic position at 470 metres high, with a view that looks out over the rolling hills of Tuscany, the river valley of the Tiber and the green hills of Umbria. The area is surrounded by olive groves, rows of cypress trees and fields of wheat, tobacco, sunflowers and peppers.
The area is served by trails and dirt roads that provide infinite possibilities for long walks with suggestive views. A short distance away: Sansepolcro, Arezzo, Gubbio, Assisi, Cortona, Urbino, Todi.
Casa Rivolta offers hospitality for an idyllic vacation: a variety of landscapes and the charm of some of the world's most appealing cities and towns, rich with art and history.

Guests have the exclusive use of a small terrace in the olive grove.
An area located in front of the house, fully inclusive outdoor furniture is privately reserved for the occupants of this apartment. The kitchen utensils are modern in both apartments, which is undoubtedly due to Signor Rivolta's passion for cooking.

The Trails
In the Municipality of Anghiari and the other six adjoining municipalities, one hundred ancient trails have been rediscovered and made practicable once again for an aggregate length of 480 km. The trails have been outlined on maps and are furnished with clear signage so they can be followed with ease. There are ancient Roman roads, medieval roads and customs roads that join together the valley towns across the backbone of the Apennine mountain range, and which, at different times, were the routes followed by merchants, pilgrims, pastors, counterfeiters and bandits.
A "Trail Guide" is available which describes the different routes, the altitudes of the various routes and the length of time necessary to cover the trails.
