The nearest shops are at Barberino Val D’Elsa, 3 km/2 miles; Poggibonsi, 7 km/4 miles. The famous hill town of San Gimignano is only 20 minutes away to the west; to the east, 22km/14 miles, is Castellina-in-Chianti, a hill town with a long history of wine-making. Florence and Siena are both reached in under 1 hour.
