Villas in Terranuova Bracciolini

About Terranuova Bracciolini

Terranuova lies in the Valdarno, about 35 km south-east of Florence and 25 km north-west of Arezzo, at about 156 metres. It was simply Terranuova until 1862, when it took the name of the humanist Poggio Bracciolini, born here in 1380. The homes are scattered through the countryside around the town rather than in the streets. On the slopes of the Pratomagno, erosion has cut the Balze into ravines and pillars, and the hamlet of Piantravigne sits among the eroded faces. The Ascione valley road leaves the centre past vineyards and sheep, a quiet route for cyclists, with detours to Traiana, Cicogna and Campogialli. Nearly every home has a private pool and a garden, many have a fireplace, and most sleep four.
