Hello -
Does anyone know the closest train station to the Tenuta di Lupinari (Tuscany)? We'll have a car, but will drop it off at some point for a train to Rome.
Thank you-
Jenny

I suspect perhaps Siena but topping for other responses.

Oops sorry..looks lie Arezzo may be the closest.

Spent 3 weeks there last summer. Bucine is the closest town to Lupinari and has a train station. We used it several times to make day trips instead of driving.

Great place to stay. Let me know if you want the name of some good restaurants.

My family will stay near Bucine this August. Any restaurant recommendations or warnings would be great! Thanks!

From Bucine, we made easy day trips to Siena, Pisa, San Gimignano, Volterra, Radda, Montalcino, Montepulciano, Arezzo, Assisi, Cortona, Florence, Arezzo, etc. We had an excellent list of restaurants before we left and added L’Antica Portale (near Bucine for patio pizza), Enoteca Osteria Osticcio in Montalcino (if you are a wine lover) and Olio & Convivium (in Florence). Probably the best food (and most expensive) was Osteria le Logge in Siena (about €125 for luxury lunch). The best experience was Cane e Gatto also in Siena (less expensive than anticipated). The best restaurant views was a tossup between Caffe Poliziano in Montepulciano and Enoteca Osteria Osticcio in Montalcino. The overall best setting was a Ferragamo restaurant called the Osteria del Boggo in Il Borro, San Giustino Valdarno. The nice thing about Tuscany, you have to hunt for bad food.
