Enjoyed Most: The views were amazing - exactly how we had imagined. Enjoyed Least: It was really cold at night and there was no heating allowed at the time we were there. Bed was also very hard and uncomfortable and the blankets kept slipping off. Surrounding Area: So close to everything. Loved exploring the towns and cities of Tuscany. Nearby Events or Locales: Baccaiano. Fairly easy to walk there but to get back is uphill all the way and would be pretty exhausting. Tips or Restaurants: The restaurant in the castle is excellent and very convenient! Bring warm pyjamas and bring a radio if you can't handle the peace and quiet!! We weren't aware that there is a bus from Florence that goes right past the castle until we got there. Trying to navigate our way out of Florence in our rental car was a nightmare!!! The car definitely came in handy to explore the rest of Tuscany, but wasn't necessary like we were lead to believe. You could have gotten around by getting a bus into Florence and then a train out to other towns.
