It also hosts a weekly market on a Tuesday morning. Supermarkets can be found in Bucine (18km) or Levane (20km).
The nearby vicinity offers delightful activities - horseback riding stables for all levels including beginners and professionals, a polo club, golf and a fitness spa for beauty and wellness.
All of Tuscany’s most important art cities are within short driving distances and also close are charming little villages where it is possible to find small restaurants and buy typical food.
