After the cacophony of Florence, staying in this quiet hill village was perfect for our nervous systems. There is a deep grounding when staying in a town and building of cobblestones, brick, wooden beams and rock. It is both ancient and modern in its conveniences. It is a quiet place to rejuvenate in between exploring the surrounding areas, including the great hill town of Montalcino. We were there in a hot June and the air conditioning in the bedrooms were super appreciated.
The views of the surrounding countryside are astounding. There is a small store along the central street a short walk from the apartment that opens at 5 pm, where you can get many essentials, including all the Italian staples.
Walking up and down the hill of the town and the stairs in the apartment is excellent exercise. For cooks, the kitchenette was fine, though it could be more complete with an oven and some better knives. If this is no big deal for you, then you will probably love this place. Restaurants abound in Tuscany.
