Where can we go on Wednesday?

 Hi Guys,  we've had a few guests ask about possible day-trip getaway destinations for Wednesday (the free day) in Tuscany...

Over the decades that we've been doing this, we've seen guests choose to travel to all kinds of destinations near & far...  One word of caution from our many years of experience; on international vacations, most people "over-plan".  That is, in trying to get the very most from their vacation, they overplan their time... If you're going farther than a 1.5 hour drive, we suggest you get a very early start to make the most out of your day... 

With that said, there are lots of wonderful destinations you can get to from the Villa for quick easy day trips, and we'll list a handful of them here: (these are listed from closest to farthest based on one way driving time) starred destinations are personal fav's of ours... but we always suggest you research them personally so you understand what it's about, as everyone's opinion of course varies... (just google the destination)

• *Volpaia (15 minutes)
• * Badia a'Coltibuono (15 minutes)
• Gaiole-in-Chianti (18 minute)
