Holiday Apartment in Taverne D'Arbia: Church, Market and Via Lauretana

Local Life and Special Places in Taverne D'Arbia

Taverne D'Arbia is a destination with religious local life, market activity, historic architecture and a variety of routes. The parish church of S. Isidoro a Taverne d'Arbia is located at Via Principale 53, 53100 Taverne d'Arbia (SI). In winter, Mass is held at 11:00 a.m. on Sundays in the church of Taverne d'Arbia. Another regular event is the Fiera di Sant'Isidoro: it takes place in the hamlet of Taverne d'Arbia on Via Principale on the second Sunday in May, from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., as part of the religious celebrations in honour of the saint.

Every Tuesday, Taverne d'Arbia's weekly market takes place in Piazza Montaperti. A public play area has also been set up beside the roundabout on Strada delle Ropole in Taverne d'Arbia. This allows different interests to be combined when planning a trip: a visit to the market and local life can be paired with a specific destination for families with children.

Bridge, History and Museums

One of the notable structures is the Ponte a Taverne d'Arbia. The three-arch bridge crosses the Arbia River. It was attributed to the engineer Pietro Ferroni and commissioned in 1787. As the historic Ponte a Taverne d'Arbia, it is the only road connection between Arbia and Taverne d'Arbia. Its role as a connection and its documented origins give a stay a clear historical dimension alongside visits to the market and church.

The complex of the former Mulino Muratori also contains a building of historical and documentary interest. The area around Taverne D'Arbia is home to the Bologna Buonsignori Museum, Vestri Palace, Pannilini Palace, the Native House of Tito Sarocchi Museum and the Giardino Emilio Montagnani garden. These places add museums, palaces and a garden to a possible day's itinerary, without limiting your trip planning to a single experience.

Routes and Regional Landscapes

For walks and excursions, the Via Lauretana leads to Poggio delle Casareccce. There you will find the stone monument “Sito transitorio”, created by Jean Paul Philippe in 1993. Along the Via Lauretana, the route follows the provincial Lauretana road (SP 438) and initially takes an unpaved path from the municipality of Siena into that of Asciano. The different sections of the route are therefore a specific aspect to take into account when planning an active day.

The landscape is complemented by several elevations in the surrounding area. Mount Poggio Cerrete is located near Taverne D'Arbia, while Mount Monte Maggio and Mount Monte Luco lie in the wider regional area. When choosing a holiday apartment or holiday home in Taverne D'Arbia, you can therefore first decide whether your trip should focus on the immediate local activity, the historic Ponte a Taverne d'Arbia, or the routes and mountains in the wider surrounding area.
