There are plenty of bar and restaurants in the centre of the ” village”, and a playground where restless children can stretch their legs.

Artisan and Vintage Shopping in Italy is also very hard to resist and the cities and towns of Tuscany are second to none. Tuscans are very proud of their artisan culture which is rich in tradition and known for its excellence. Strolling through streets and narrow alleys you’ll find a wide variety of artisan studios and craftsman shops selling leather products, handmade jewellery of refined quality and much more.
