The medieval village of Petroio, known for its terracotta and good olive oil, is located in the south of Tuscany. As it is on a hill, you have a great view down into the Valdorchia valley. Toward Pienza and Montalcino. Pienza with its tasty Pecorino cheese and Montepulciano with its good Chianti are about 10 km away. Even though Petroio is centrally located, about 15 min from the A1 Motorway, the area still has pure quiet and relaxation to offer. You can go hiking right from the apartment or even explore the surrounding area by bicycle. There is a butcher, bakery, a small grocery store and restaurant with bar. In Sinalunga (10 km away), there are banks, a shopping centre and train station. (You can be in Rome in about 2 hrs.). We live in the same village and would be happy to help you or give you some tips.
