After a good nights sleep in comfy beds, the aroma of espresso wafts up from the patio downstairs.
With magnificent views over the hills from the patio whilst having breakfast, you don't want to move!
If you do, I would recommend a morning walk trough the forest, very peaceful!
We only had four nights in Ankhura and felt totally relaxed at the end of it. We went with Anders to the market one day, had a three course meal at a vineyard nearby and enjoyed their Brunelli wine.
Anders is a great chef, so we had dinners "at home" as well.
Its also close to Florence, Pisa and Siena.
If you do want to do and see more, just ask your very nice and helpful hosts Cino & Anders for advice.

We were there for three nights in the wonderful hotel with very nice persons who are the owner. Cino and Anders ( who made excellent food.. ) and their little charming baby boy Conrad - what a child ! We all feld very relaxed, what a nice house and garden. And in the morning you can look at the olivtrees from Your window - it isn`t like in Sweden.
We can really recommend this hotel

My boyfriend and I stayed at Ankhura in late April - it was absolutely amazing.
Anders and Cino are great hosts - the rooms are extremely clean and pretty.
Anders is an amazing cook - having dinner in one night is totally worth it (if they're offering it at the time).
We went on the Truffle hunt and although it was really the end of the season - great experience. Go in the fall and do it.
We regret not having done a cooking class with Anders.
I highly recommend Ankhura.

Returning to Ankhura injected some really lovely spring into our lives. The medeival stone house worked hard to warm up this early in the spring, but the warmth in the general atmosphere, the crackling of the downstairs fireplace and the hospitality of the hosts definitely made us all warm and fuzzy inside and out.
I just never get tired of seeing those olive orchards on the top of the opposing hill, looking out the window from the room. This trip we went to Arezzo for the monthly (first weekend) antique market there, where the old town turns into a fun vintage playground. We got home with a nice Murano vase.
Having moved to central Brussels since our last visit, it was lovely to get two nights of deep, undisturbed sleep in the quite Tuscan countryside in the comfy cozy beds with crisp, luxurious sheets. All in all, a lovely weekend getaway!
