This year being our 40th wedding anniversary we decided to hire "podere di Sole" as a base and invite our extended family to come and join us at various times during the month of September.
Firstly the booking was made very simple by Bernhard, and all questions were suitably dealt with speedily.
Being already familar with this part of Italy, we picked this particular location because it was particularly suitable for visiting the Major Tuscan Cities, Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Arezzo not forgetting Siena which was a 10 minute drive away. Also it was within 30 kilometres of the Chianti district with all it's beautiful hills, towns and villages.
If you were feeling a little adventurous, Assisi, Orvieto, and lake Trasimeno are all within easy reach.
Should you just wish to relax then the "farmhouse was ideal being situated as it is amongst woodland, close to Sovicille an old small Italian town with a very picturesque square. There is a Supermarket located there, within walking distance which had most things we required.
In the Farmhouse Bernard had left several sheets of information about emergency services local restaurants etc,and all around were leaflets telling us about the local area, so we were very well informed.
Clara who looks after the Farmhouse was at the other end of a phone so should we require her assistance she was always ready to help.
We hugely enjoyed our stay at the Podere di Sole and would thoroughly recommend to anyone wishing to stay in "Toscana"
