I spent a wonderful week in Silvia’s house. A wonderful way to explore the region with very good public transport, bus and rail, close enough at hand. A good place to retreat to after the hustle and bustle and crowds in Firenze city centre visiting the attractions or after a day trip by train from the local station to Siena.
We were a group of five but Silvia’s spacious house meant there was loads of room and everyone could find a quiet spot if they wished. There is a lovely back garden that was delightfully cool in the morning if you wished to have breakfast outdoors or just to read under the shade of a vine or grapefruit tree.
Silvia greeted us on arrival, despite our train being a little delayed, was genuinely welcoming, and was very prompt in responding to a request we made. She was easily contactable if needed.
There are a couple of nice restaurants in the locality with Le Palme providing good food at reasonable prices.
