In a small Tuscan village stands "la Caminata" country house, once a monastery, in front of Monteriggioni Medieval castle. 13 apartments finely renovated in classic Tuscan style are shrouded amongst vineyards and olive groves. La caminata is to be found 30 metres from the old Frankish road and offers all sorts of excursions on foot on Montagnola Senese, which stretchesin the opposite direction in the Chianti Classico area. Amateur fishing lakes are a stone's throw away. The cities of sien, Florence, and San Gimignano are easy to reach on public transport to avoid parking problems.
