The hayloft was a great central point for touring the Tuscany region. My husband and I felt the hayloft was nicely furnished, very accommodating and extremely clean. The train station, grocery store and restaurants are nearby but not within walking distance. You really need a car when staying here, which also is needed to get to some of the smaller hill towns where there are no train stations or tour bus stops. It was very nice to have food items available to us, as the grocery store was not open when we arrived. Pamela was wonderful to work with throughout the whole process from initial inquiry to departure. She offered great suggestions on places to visit and nearby restaurants, and was always available to help. Thanks Pamela for helping make our vacation so enjoyable!!
