Penny, Look at this place---I love San Quirico.

Casa Lemmi looks marvelous; however, it also looks a bit out of our price range. The two apts we are looking at in San Quirico average out to be more like 70 or so Euros a night. And that's for two bedrooms each apt. Do you happen to know anything about a rental/travel agency named Verdidea? They appear to be based in San Quirico.

Consider Roccatederighi. My wife and I have visited there before with German friends and loved it. I think those who've observed that the bus is not a bad option are on point. But, to each his own.

I've not stayed in this property but here's a link:

We've spent a night here, in La Torre:

This is the place where we'd like to stay in the future:
