Farm stay with glider flights in Valdichiana, near Arezzo, on the border with Umbria

Welcome to Podere Sant'Apollonia

Podere Sant'Apollonia was part of the Granducale Estate of Montecchio. Originally a worker's dwelling from the final years of Granducal administration, the property is located in the quiet Valdichiana valley, overlooking the Cortona hills.

Today we offer hospitality in 5 apartments for a total of 18 beds, combining the charm of the Tuscan countryside with the unique thrill of gliding.

Our grass airstrip offers excellent thermal and wave opportunities for gliding enthusiasts, with a rich aviation history that includes the historic Falco F8L.
