palazzo del capitano parking
For anyone who has stayed at Palazzo del Capitano in Tuscany-Is the public parking outside of the walls far enough away that it would make sense to pay to park at the hotel? We are only there two nights and do plan on visting some other towns in the area.
Thank you!
Thank you!

If you are talking about Palazzo del Capitano in San Quirico d'Orcia you should know that while there is plenty of public parking it is at the bottom of the hill and you would have a steep climb every time you return from an outing.After a week of doing this we were ready to move on to our next accommodations. Only cars with special permits are allowed in the village. If their parking is within the village walls I'd probably pay for it. We stayed in a village house last fall and enjoyed the village at night. There is also a small internet cafe on the main street of the village. Take a side trip to Bagno Vignoli and soak your tired feet in the warm waters. Although we were not in BV at mealtime I understand there are a couple of nice restaurants to have a relaxing lunch. There was also a women's shop with beautiful hand made ladies clothing---expensive but really lovely.

>>>The public parking is no more than 200 meters to the hotel and was not a bad walk at all. I would want the freedom to come and go at will.<<
Actually, I think the entire walled medieval section of San Quirico is within 200 meters of the parking lot.
