Tuscany Vacation Villas

For years in the real estate of villas for holiday rental, we offer you the best villas in Tuscany and, in particular, we want to show our villas in San Giovanni Valdarno. You should choose one of our villas in San Giovanni Valdarno if, during your vacations, you`d love to feel at home in privacy and with every comfort, and if you would like to explore the city where Masaccio was born, between Florence and Arezzo. San Giovanni Valdarno is also located close to the motorway and is therefore the ideal place if you want to know the other cities of art in Tuscany or in Italy.

San Giovanni Valdarno is located in Valdarno in the province of Arezzo. The town is famous because Masaccio was born here and the urban structure of its historical center is similar to the one of the ancient Roman cities: a large central square and the grid-like streets . The symmetry is surprisingly perfect.

In the main square you can see the thirteenth century Praetorian Palace, also called `Palazzo d`Arnolfo` , the Church of San Lorenzo , the fourteenth century church of St. John the Baptist and the Oratory of S. Maria delle Grazie dating back to1484. The Basilica of Santa Maria delle Grazie houses a work by Giovanni della Robbia and a chapel dedicated to the miracle of Monna Tancia, a 75 year old lady who in 1478 during a plague saw his prayers fulfilled and was able to nurse her grandchild, saving his life.

Of course, do not miss a visit to the Museum House of Masaccio, where the famous painter was born in the fifteenth century.
