Located in the Upper Tiber Valley, Villa Meridiana is a perfect example of a typical farmhouse reconverted into a luxury retreat to accommodate discerning travellers looking to experience the culture of rural Italy. Although just an hour away from the world renowned towns of Siena, Cortona or Pienza, this part of Italy has a unique social character: don't come to this region expecting to share your experiences with other English-speaking tourists - this is where the language heard most often is Italian and despite the many lovely villages – Santa Maria Tiberina, Cittá di Castello, and Citerna to name a few - the real attractions are the incredible views, the joy of the winding drive up to each hilltop location and the great local food and wine.
