Relais San Pietro

Activities

• Hang out on the terrace and enjoy the gardens. In terms of peace and quiet, this place is the business
  
  
• Go for a cooling swim in the pool-with-a-view, play golf or tennis (there are facilities within a short drive), go sailing or cycling around Lake Trasimeno (45km away), or hike along scenic tracks over the rolling hills around Polvano
  
  
• Take a stroll round Castiglion Fiorentino, a walled medieval hilltown topped by the 12th century Chiesa di Sant’Angelo (a 15-minute drive). Linger at the Caffe degli Ignoranti on the Piazza del Municipio, which has fab views of the Val di Chiana and the foothills of the Appenines, plus occasional live music
