Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, is just 1 hour away and offers some of the finest galleries, museums and architecture in the world. As do the cities of Siena (1 hour) 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 (45 minutes), 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.

The closest airports are Florence, 40 minutes drive, or Pisa, which is 1 hour away.
