Nearest shops at Querce al Pino, 1.5kms/1 mile, Po' Bandino [open on Sunday mornings], 8km/5 miles. Chiusi, 4km/3 miles from the property, is a funny little hilltop village that literally straddles the Tuscan-Umbrian border and boasts an Etruscan museum and a Duomo decorated in faux mosaic. Most villages in this farming area sit on hilltops; among the larger are Cetona, Citta delle Pieve and Montepulciano, all within 20 minutes' drive. Castiglione del Lago on Lake Trasimeno and Orvieto, are both less than 30 minutes away. Siena can be reached within 1 hours' drive.
