Location
In quiet countryside, just 10 km from Siena's Piazza del Campo, the property was once a fortified religious centre near the Via Francigena, which connected France to Rome and on to Puglia, the port of embarkation for the Holy Land. Via Francigena is now an interesting hiking route.
Siena is not to be missed. Its palaces, museums and stunning striped cathedral make a fascinating day trip. Every year on 2nd July and 16th August one of the most famous "Medieval jousts" the "Palio di Siena" takes place and the excitement is tangible. The city's daily markets are also worth a visit, for antiques, leather goods and the best local produce to cook at home. Elsewhere in the region there a wonderful vineyards where you can taste and buy the famous Chianti wines.
Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, is just 1 hour away and offers some of the finest galleries, museums and architecture in the world. Other towns worth visiting are San Gimignano (35 minutes), famous for its many towers, and, for "Twilight" fans, Volterra (50 minutes), a fascinating town with Etruscan roots.
The closest airports are Florence, 55 minutes drive, or Pisa, which is 1 hour and 30 minutes away.
