Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Located in the town center near all the shops: small supermarket, butcher with local products, post office, bank, tobacconist bar, pharmacy, hairdresser, pizzeria restaurant.
In the house you will find useful addresses for your excursions, however I will be available to advise you in the best way and satisfy your desires.
Art and marine locations reachable by car: Grosseto, Florence, Argentario and Maremma beaches, Isola del Giglio with embarkation in Porto Santo Stefano; Elba Island with boarding in Piombino, the Val d'Orcia with Montalcino, Montepulciano and Pienza are perfect as destinations for a food and wine tour organized in the traditional Tuscan cuisine, with typical local products and recipes.
Siena is also not far away, home of the palio that takes place every year on July 2nd and August 16th.
Staying in the village, at various times of the year is a succession of festivals and cultural and gastronomic events in a climate of great conviviality.
Example: late July: large snail festival and strozzapreti; September: 2nd Sunday The famous Palio dei Ciuchi; in October, the Wine Festival, etc.
The surroundings of Prestano for walking, also wanting the Via Francigena, or by bike and for those who love water sports, rivers and the sea are a short distance away.
On the border between the provinces of Siena and Grosseto, the natural thermal baths of Petriolo and Saturnia offer various solutions to enjoy pleasant moments of well-being and relaxation for the mind and the body, from free baths in the springs and natural pools of water thermal that are found in the middle of the nature, to the luxurious establishments where it is pampered with every kind of treatment.
These are the ideas that we thought could be useful to organize a trip at any time of the year, to enjoy the beauty of one of the most fascinating lands in the world, Tuscany.
To all of you, a good and warm stay :-)
