Located a short distance from Arezzo, the Ponte a Buriano and Penna Regional Nature Reserve stretches for about 7 km along the Arno River, from the Romanesque bridge of Ponte Buriano to the Penna dam valley. This protected environment offers a varied landscape, characterized by oak forests, cultivated fields, and a vast marshland area.
The reserve is an ideal place for nature lovers and birdwatchers, thanks to the presence of numerous bird species. Well-marked trails allow visitors to explore the area on foot, offering picturesque views of the river and the surrounding countryside.
One of the most iconic elements of the reserve is the Ponte a Buriano, a medieval bridge with seven arches which, according to some scholars, may have been depicted by Leonardo da Vinci in the background of the Mona Lisa.
For those staying at our hotel, the Ponte a Buriano and Penna Nature Reserve is an ideal destination for an outdoor excursion, immersed in the tranquility and beauty of the Tuscan landscape.
