Please note that there is no pavement but there are grass verges that you can walk along, however the path may be narrow in places.



Restaurants include one of Tuscany's most famous dining establishments - Antica Macelleria Cecchini - where we would be happy to make a reservation for you for dinner. This is a 15 minute walk from the apartment. Alternatively, just 850 metres away (or a 10 minute walk away), the same family also have a fantastic panini truck which we can highly recommend for lunch. Another great option is Ristorante Oltre Il Giardino which has a lovely outdoor terrace overlooking the Chianti countryside. Or, at the far end of the town, 25 minutes away on foot is Il Vescovino which also has a lovely outside dining area.
