Hotel La Bandita, near Arezzo
Set in one of the most beautiful corners of Tuscany, Locanda la Bandita is an old farmhouse from the early 1800s and is very nicely restored. The locanda sits within its own courtyard in Bettolle Sinalunga, on wooded land, and makes a perfect place for exploring this gorgeous region of central Italy. Close by are Lake Trasimeno, Cortona, Pienza, Montepulciano and Montalcino. Arezzo is 20km away and Siena 50km.
Set in two hectares of private land south of Siena, this Tuscan hotel has just eight rooms with private bathrooms with shower and hairdryer. All rooms have a queen-sized bed, exposed (and original) beam ceilings, terracotta floors, antique furnishings and beautiful views. Outside is the nicely shaded garden and a most inviting swimming pool. The restaurant here serves superb regional Tuscan cuisine - and this is a great base for cultural, wine and gastronomic tours of this very special part of Italy.
The hotel has a restaurant, buffet breakfasts, garden and outdoor pool, while there is good walking and cycling in the area (with bikes available for hire). The locanda offers internet access, laundry and ironing services and the front desk staff are on hand for advice on what to see in this lovely area.
Lake Trasimeno offers superb countryside, sailing and other water sports, while the ancient city of Cortona, perched high above the Valdichiana valley east of here, makes for a very special day, exploring its medieval heart. Pienza and Montalcino are historically fascinating, while Montepulciano - a perfect medieval town clinging to a rocky ridge, the highest of the Tuscan hill towns at 600m - is a delight.
