town
Castiglion Fiorentino (AR) is a beautiful, unspoilt tuscan hilltown, halfway between Rome and Florence. It is large enough to have a choice of cafes and restaurants, but small enough to be overlooked by most tourist guides.
The town is situated close to the major North-South road in Italy (the A1) and is on the main train line between Rome and Florence.
This is a great base to explore central Tuscany (Florence, Cortona, Siena, Montalcino, Arezzo, Pienza, Assisi) or to head across into Umbria (Perugia, Citta di Castello, Orvieto).
