Chiusdino and Podere Le Querci are situated in the 'Colline Metallifere', a harmonious landscape of rolling hills shaped by extinct volcanoes. Many local beauty spots are within a short distance. Ten minutes by car will take you to a small waterfall where you can swim and escape the summer heat.

The small hilltop town of Chiusdino (a 15 minute walk away) has everything you could need - bars, cafes, shops, banks, ATMs, a pharmacy and doctor. The restaurants serve excellent Tuscan food. Wander round the narrow streets and passages steeped in Medieval history. Enjoy the summer programme of cultural events of music, theatre, and dance.
