Castiglion Fiorentino
A walled Tuscan hill town in the province of Arezzo, Castiglion Fiorentino sits between Arezzo and Cortona in wine-growing country, with an Etruscan archaeological site and an unusual concentration of churches for its size. Annual festivals animate the medieval centre, and the surrounding Valdichiana valley offers scenic views. The town has a real café and restaurant scene and draws independent travellers looking for a quieter base within reach of Florence, Siena, and Perugia.
