Our stay at Podere Il Doccio was very enjoyable -- quiet location away from public roads, but close to many Tuscan attractions (easy to visit Florence by train, and easy drives to Cortona, Sienna, Assisi, etc.) Situated in beautiful Tuscan countryside (vineyards, olive groves, etc.), close to some nice mountain areas.

Marina and Francesco were wonderful hosts -- a highlight of our trip to Italy was Marina's cooking class, and especially the ensuing dinner with their family (complete with wine, olive oil and grappa that they had produced.) Very charming people, very helpful and friendly!

The nearby towns offer a number of nice Tuscan restaurants -- Osteria del Acqualina (very close by) is truely outstanding, and Ostorio Il Canto del Maggio (nearby in Penne) is also excellent. Il Solito Posto in Terranuova was good as well.

In the interests of "truth in advertising", it should be noted that if your ideal is a plush villa with a panoramic view over the Tuscan countryside, Podere Il Doccio may not be for you. It is a rustic (but nicely remodeled and furnished) old house located about a km down a one-lane gravel road, in a deep valley on a small stream. It has a very nice setting in the midst of a wooded area, adjacent to a small vineyard, and very quiet and peaceful - but no "long" view.
