Sarteano is ideally placed being 6 kms. from the A1 Autostrada exit at Chiusi, 12 kms. from the mainline railway Chiusi making both Rome and Florence about 1 hour away by fast train. Approximate time by car to other major cities; Siena 1 hour, Florence 11/2 hours, Rome 2 hours. It is also surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside, in particular the Val d'Orcia, now a world heritage site and only ten minutes drive from the apartment. Dominating either side of the valley are some of the most renowned medieval towns such as Montalcino, Pienza, San Quirico d'Orcia, Montepulciano and Radicofani all withing a 45 minute drive. In August Sarteano has its own version of the famous Palio in Siena. This is the highlight of a season of related festivities including a medieval pageant with authentic food, music festivals and other local events, not to mention the weekly market.
