The house is in the small village of Lucardo where there are two excellent restaurants, one with a magnificent view of the countryside and the other, a pizzeria, serving typical Tuscan dishes. Nearby are renowned estates that produce exceptional wines and olive oil.
For self-catering the weekly market in Montespertoli, just 10 minutes away (Tuesday mornings) is a treasure trove of fresh local produce. Alternatively, there are shops and supermarkets close by.
Some of Italy’s most beautiful cities and towns are within easy reach. Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, is just 45 minutes away and offers some of the finest galleries, museums and architecture in the world. As do the cities of Siena (50 minutes) and Pisa, with its Leaning Tower (1 hour). Other towns worth visiting are San Gimignano (35 minutes), famous for its many towers, and, for “Twilight” fans, Volterra (1 hour), a fascinating town with Etruscan roots.
There are wonderful hiking and cycling routes nearby which will immerse you in the woods and glorious Tuscan countryside.
