Villas in Laterina
Laterina suits couples and small families after a quiet Valdarno base between Florence and Arezzo, near the medieval Ponte Romito. The homes are on the Pergine Valdarno side of the comune, and none has a private pool. Plan on a car, as everything beyond the village needs one.

About Laterina
Laterina Pergine Valdarno is one comune made from two villages, merged at the start of 2018. Laterina's medieval centre stands on a hill above the Arno valley, with the Palazzo del Podestà , the Guinigi Tower, the Porta del Ghianderino and stretches of wall; its church of Santi Ippolito e Cassiano started out as the fortress chapel. Pergine Valdarno, where these homes are, sits higher at about 360 metres. Across the comune, vines and olives cover the hills, with old farmsteads and dovecotes dotted between them. Below, the Arno cuts through the Valle dell'Inferno. There is no beach and little to do after dark, so evenings are spent at the house.
Is Laterina right for you?
- Best for
- Quiet countryside weeks with Arezzo and Florence day trips
- Not for you if
- You want a private pool or a lively piazza on your doorstep.

Laterina villa holidays: questions answered
Is the bridge in the Mona Lisa at Laterina?
Possibly. The Ponte Romito, a medieval bridge over the Arno gorge known as the Valle dell'Inferno, is identified by some studies as the bridge behind Leonardo's Mona Lisa. It remains a theory, though the bridge itself is there to see.
Are the Laterina homes in the village itself?
Not quite. They are on the Pergine Valdarno side of the comune of Laterina Pergine Valdarno, the higher of its two villages, rather than inside Laterina's walled centre. Expect countryside and a drive for shops.
Does Laterina have a summer festival?
Yes. Medieval Laterina takes over the historic village for three days on the last weekend of July, with costumed processions, jugglers, acrobats and traditional food. Dates move each year, so check before you book.
Is Laterina good for families?
For a family of four, it can be, if a garden matters more than a pool. Most homes here have a garden, few sleep more than six, and private pools are not part of the offer.
