We were a group of 6 middle aged women on a two week trip that included Vernazza, Lucca and Florence looking for a place to stay for a week in the Tuscan countryside that would be close enough for day trips to Sienna, Montalcino, Montepulciano, Cortona, and the Chianti wine region. This authentically restored farmhouse is on a quiet rural road leading up to the town of Farnetella, which has a church but no cafes or retail shops, resulting in just local traffic for the few people who still live up there. The local market for groceries and inexpensive wine is only 3 miles away in Sinalunga called Simply. This place exceeded our expectations in many ways. It is very clean, the beds are comfortable, the bathrooms modernized, and the kitchen added on for those who like to cook is a dream. Sign up for pizza making night and pasta making night. With wine and dessert both are so much fun and affordable. They also make their own olive oil so buy some in a tin can to take home. There is a local pizzaria called Scroccazucche(Smashing Pumpkins) in Rigomagno which is much more than a pizzaria and always packed with locals even on a Sunday night so make reservations and do take away one night if you can't get in and don't feel like cooking. Don't miss historic Felsina vineyard not to far away in Chianti wine region that grows some grapes right there in Farnetella. Ask Grazia about the local spa in Rapolano. Lucignano is just 5 miles away and can be seen from the backyard. Better than going to more touristy towns we saw that week. Panzano is another hill top town with wine tastings, a famous butcher and great views of the valleys below. Can't wait to go back soon with my family. Enjoy!
