Where is Lucignano?
I've noticed a few mentions of Lucignano, but can't seem to find it on my small map. Can anyone tell me where it's located? Wondering if this would be a good base for 3 days in Tuscany?<BR><BR>Spending the prior 3 days directly in Florence, but would like to get a broader sense of the region for the duration of our trip.<BR><BR>Is luciagnano a good 'home base"? what hotels do you recommend there?<BR><BR>thanks!!!

Coulda probably found it on standard websites like viamichelin or mappy for you - - but "can't" show you, like this can; located quickly with a simple Yahoo! search:<BR><BR>http://www.luxury-villas-in-tuscany.com/a311/map.htm<BR><BR>Looks pretty good to me, but somewhat isolated. I spent a week in Ambra once, and THAT seemed pretty isolated. You can see it also, NNW of Lucignano.<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>[email protected]<BR>

Type "Bob the Navigator" into the text search box at the top of the page. In the topic search box to the right, scroll down and highlight Italy. At least a zillion messages should come up with many great options in Southern Tuscany. Bob is very knowledgable about the area, so you can trust his advice. <BR><BR>

We are driving from Florence to Pienza in September and I have the town of Lucignano as a place of interest to stop. I read on this thread that there are 3 Lucignanos in Tuscany. Which one is Monte San Savino and Sinalunga? The one I found info on, can't find it again, is a fortified town with ringed streets. I hope this is the one on my drive.
Thanks!
Thanks!
