Casa Via del Popolo n.1

You enter the building, which dates from the 16th century, via the street then through into a private courtyard. The architect restored apartment has a kitchen with dining and living area and 5 sets of doors opening to the south-facing terrace allowing light to flood in (there are shutters if you need them). This is the place to take your evening drink, or eat supper at the outdoor table, listening to the bells of the nearby church and soaking up the view.

There are two bedrooms off the corridor, a double with en suite shower room and a twin with a separate, small, shower. Find a welcome hamper with wine, water, coffee, tea and sugar in the well-equipped kitchen with a large island dividing it from a dining room. Down a few steps from the terrace you’ll find a communal garden with a shared swimming pool.

A short walk will take you to a grocer for stocking up or a choice of restaurants. The village still has a real Tuscan feel.
