The old ‘road of the seven bridges’ - “Sette ponti” winds itself between the river Arno and the ‘Pratomagno’, starting from the Etruscan town of Arezzo and ending nearly in Florence, the peak city of the renaissance. The route takes you through typical Tuscan countryside between the regions of Casentino and Chianti, In its central part the road encounters Castelfranco di Sopra. During each season of the year the visitor is offered the rolling hills, vineyards, olive groves and mountain woods in a harmony of nature, history and culture. You are surrounded with farmhouses, and mansions with their own production of olive oil and wine, natural reserves, the mythical territory of the ‘Cliff Crags’, and the solemn simplicity of old monasteries and churches. Here the traveller can embrace the particular atmosphere of the typical Tuscan gastronomy and enjoy the serenity of the area.
