Caprese Michelangelo, Arezzo, Tuscany, Italy

Casa Gialla is in a hamlet or 'frazione' of Caprese Michelangelo called Lama, located at the foot of the Alpe di Catenaia, in a valley 535 meters above sea level. Lama is the birthplace of Giovanni Sante Gaspero Santini, a renowned astronomer and mathematician. A thriving shop is just across the road from the property and a fantastic restaurant in walking distance with several others a short drive away.

Caprese Michelangelo is a charming medieval Tuscan town celebrated as the birthplace of the legendary Renaissance master, Michelangelo. With a population of approximately 1,500, Caprese Michelangelo is nestled in the stunning Upper Tiber Valley, providing captivating views of the rolling hills and lush valleys that define the region. The town is known for its warm, close-knit community and is home to some of the finest restaurants in the area, making it a delightful destination for both residents and visitors.
