Casa Indipendente

This cluster is in the built-up area of Arezzo, so the immediate setting is an urban one of streets, housing and commercial zones rather than open countryside. The city lies on the edge of the Val di Chiana and below the first relief of the Tuscan Apennine foothills. The nearest larger natural feature is the Casentino side of the Apennines to the north, with the Foreste Casentinesi, Monte Falterona e Campigna National Park beyond the 15 km radius. Arezzo itself is a historic provincial city with a substantial old centre, churches, museums, services and rail connections. The city is known for Piero della Francesca frescoes, the sloping Piazza Grande and the antiques fair.
