"I can't wait to come back"
Our extended family had a wonderful vacation at Calcione.
The setting is beautiful. I will never forget sitting under the pergola, seeing the lights of Lucignano twinkling on the hillside across the valley. Or watching the sun burn away ribbons of fog from the green and gold hills. Or the sound of the birds, especially the owl, whose gentle who-oo gave the night just a touch of mystery.
Despite feeling that we were deep in the country, it was a quick drive to several small towns, shops, and restaurants. We were centrally located, so we could make day trips to Siena, Perugia, Montepulciano, San Gimignano, among others.
The buildings at Calcione look as if they are illustrations for a 16th century fairy tale, but inside they are snug and have all the modern conveniences. Our cottage (Casa della Pergola) had a lovely fireplace, tile floors, coved ceilings, plus central heating and a dishwasher! I can't wait to come back, and I look forward to staying in touch with you over the years. Please do encourage anyone interested to contact me for a glowing recommendation!
