The apartment is in the heart of Sansepolcro, its 1000 square feet literally two minutes ON FOOT from the historic centre and all its many excellent and affordable restaurants, shops and bars. The hosts live above the apartment and will be happy to help you with local transport services, or indeed anything else.
In Sansepolcro you’ll experience the joy of living in a true Italian town not yet inundated with mass tourism. During the late afternoon and evening join in the ‘passegiata’ the walk from one end of the town to the other. The local piazza and bars are abuzz with people meandering and greeting each other. Stroll around the lively Tuesday and Saturday markets when the main street is lined with stalls selling everything under the sun. Festivals, wine and food events are constant during the year both in Tuscany and nearby Umbria.
A truly perfect staring point from which to discover marvellous towns and surrounding countryside. Nearby trips within the hour Cortona, Assisi, Arezzo, Anghiari, Perugia, Gubbio and about 1 hour and a half Florence, Siena, Gubbio, Montepluciano, San Gimignano, the adriatic coast, Lake Trasimeno (Rome 2.30 hours).
