ITALY TUSCANY

TRAVEL TIPS Getting to Tuscany

Tuscany is full of delights and a special favourite of Farthinghoe to visit. It is a gastronomic heartland, with almost every trattoria, osteria and taverna being a hidden gem. We can recommend staying in Chianti at Greve, at the Villa Bordoni – a delightful hotel with excellent views of the Tuscan countryside. It’s nearly impossible to go wrong with food – but we do of course have some favourites to recommend. The delightful Locanda Demeta is just outside of Montalcino – it is an organic restaurant in an old farmhouse, and the perfect way to spend an evening. Why not stay at the Vecchia Olivera , a small hotel just within the town walls? Vineria Le Potazzine is a restaurant in the centre of Montalcino owned by the same family that makes the wine of the same name. Il Leccio in Sant’Angelo in Colle is about 10 minutes fromMontalcino, worth it for the hilltop location that gives some of the best views you will find in any restaurant with good local food and a wine list tomatch. Le Ragnaie winery also has a small, beautiful hotel where

we once gatecrashed a game dinner hosted by a wineclub in Florence. Siena is in the heart of the Tuscan winelands, a beautiful walled town the host the Paleo horse race each year. Restaurants such as Particolare di Siena, Osteria le Logge and La Taverna di San Giuseppe are in the town centre offering excellent local cuisine. We can always recommend a visit to one of our estates - Sesti would be happy to receive you, for a ramble through not only the vines but also their olive orchards. Be sure to pay a visit to themost amazing butcher just south of Sesti – Macelleria Norcineria – for themost delicious copa and sausages. The Farthinghoe Team
