One year Podere Torre was booked and we stayed in Panzano,but we spent a wonderful afternoon woth Cecilia enjoying the view as well as her wine and wonderful conversation. We will be there again the beginning of October and can't wait.
Also enjoyed La Castellana.
Laurie,would love to met up if you are there around that time. We go from ther to Venice, to Florence and then Rome.

Jabez: We couldn't get into Podere Torre (next time!), but Cecelia invited us by to say Hello. We'll probably do just that! She was so kind over email. We'll be in Tuscany in late September/early October. Would love to meet up!

Visit the GTG section of Slow Travel. I haven't put the Tuscan hilltown GTG yet, but will. I'll also post a GTG here as well. Where will you be staying? We know some very nice restaurants.

jabez: what is the GTG section? I found Slow Travel (and the Italy section), but am unsure of what GTG is... Thanks!

GTG means "get together." I usually try and meet up (normally a dinner)with Slow Travel and Fodor's posters when in Italy. Some folks we have met more than once.

I would agree with Fattoria Tregola. Just back in May from a trip to Italy and specifically Tuscano. We spent 4 days at the wine farm(Fattoria) in the separate apartment. It was quite lovely and clean.

Felt o was convenient to Florence, Sienna, and San Gimignano& not too far from Cinque Terra which is breath taking. The view @ Fattoria Tregola is bellissimo, especially during sunrise and sun set.

Edith is quite accommodating and was very helpful in guiding us. Fir instance we wanted to go to Florence on one the days and instead of taking a train form Sienna she suggested a bus. It was half the time and the cost when compared to the train.

I am not sure if you cans end me an e-mail but I would be happy to provide some of the pictures I took while in Tuscano
