Tuscany Vacation Villas

Our staff has selected the best villas for vacation rentals in Tuscany and in this page of the website we want to offer you our villas in Laterina. Before looking at the pictures and reading the descriptions of the villas in Laterina that you find below, we want to give you some information about this town in the Upper Valdarno.

Laterina is located in the province of Arezzo on a hill that dominates the entire valley, offering visitors a breathtaking view . This town has ancient origins and, near the church of San Cassiano, there was probably a Roman settlement during the rule of the Emperor Augustus. In the Middle Ages the town was long disputed between the powerful families of Florence and Arezzo, who fortified it and destroyed repeatedly. Today you can still see part of the medieval walls with two gates and part of the fortress.
In the historic town square you will find a church that took its name from the ancient church on the outskirts of the town, Church of Sant`Ippolito and San Cassiano . Inside there is a mosaic moved from the old church and some frescoes of the fifteenth century. The Sanctuary of St. Maria in Valle and two villas in Laterina, Villa Monsoglio and Villa dell`Isola testify the city`s past as a place of hospitality for all those who in the Middle Ages walked through the historic streets Via Setteponti and Via Clodia.
