Hello, traveler! Let me tell you why staying at Il Pietrone isn’t just about having a roof over your head during your Tuscan holiday, but about experiencing something truly unique—a blend of art and charming villages.
Where are we? Right in the heart of everything!
Il Pietrone is in a perfect central location, right in the heart of Tuscany—like we always say to our guests. In less than an hour by car, you can reach some of Italy’s most iconic cities: Siena, Florence, Pisa, and Lucca.
But wait, here’s our insider tip: don’t limit yourself to the big cities. Tuscany’s true magic lies in its lesser-known corners, in its small, quiet villages where time seems to stand still, and you can soak up the authentic charm of the region.
Our gem: Ghizzano
Just a short stroll from our holiday home, you’ll find Ghizzano, a little village that looks like something out of a postcard. Over the past few years, thanks to the work of international artists, it has transformed into a true open-air museum.
The famous Via Verde, an immersive artwork that winds through the village, is the perfect spot for snapping some unforgettable selfies (trust us, it’s already an Instagram star!). But that’s not all: Ghizzano is filled with installations, sculptures, and hidden corners that will surprise you at every turn. It’s an experience best enjoyed on foot, taking your time and letting the village reveal its magic.
Art everywhere: the Peccioli area
And it’s not just Ghizzano. The entire municipality of Peccioli has embraced art, welcoming artists from all over the world to leave their mark on the area. Every little village hides a masterpiece, an installation, or a delightful surprise. It’s a different way to experience Tuscany—off the beaten path, full of originality, and completely stress-free.
More must-see destinations
If you feel like venturing a little further, just a short drive will take you to Volterra and San Gimignano, two gems that hardly need an introduction. Or, if the sea is calling, you can reach the coast in just 45 minutes and enjoy the waves and a stunning sunset over the Tyrrhenian Sea.
A holiday with a bit of everything
At Il Pietrone, we want your holiday to be the perfect mix: art, nature, relaxation, and, of course, great food (it’s Tuscany, after all!). Our area is ideal for those looking for something a little different—away from the hustle and bustle, but with endless opportunities to discover something new around every corner.
So, what do you say? See you soon? 😊
