Emilia's place was everything we hoped it would be and more. We spent literally weeks looking on VRBO&AIRBNB for just the right place to stay near Arezzo- when we saw Emilia's house we were sure it would be perfect. And it was! We were in Anghiari for just a few days to see the region's Piero della Francesca frescoes and to get some time away from the hustle and bustle of Rome. We would have loved to stay longer, and even now I am dreaming of going back someday to stay at this lovely, homey, clean, cheerful, quiet, comfortable farmhouse under Emilia's generous care. She was totally available for any questions, utterly kind and gentle with our three young kids, completely generous and thoughtful when our oldest child became ill, and in short, she is the perfect host. The location is superb- within 1/2 hour of Arezzo and 15 minutes to Sansepolcro and Monterchi, and down a long, winding wooded drive - far away from any noise from the road. It is truly in the countryside, but you can still get to town in a heartbeat. We came away wishing we could turn around and go right back - and my 3 kids say it was the best place we have ever stayed. Thank you Emilia - we will think of you and your kindsness and your lovely home often!
