Lovely to stay at Casina di Rosa again.

You cannot expect a European destination to be warm in January, but the welcome at Casina di Rosa is absolutely spot-on. We had not been to Italy since we stayed at this house in 2007 and the owners have made great improvements that we did not expect. This month is almost certainly “low season” for the village, with the restaurants nearby closed, which was a shame, but we still found good places to eat out when we wanted to and the local “Co-op” supermarket at nearby Paganico, met all our self-catering needs. The village is great to live in. You can get by with virtually no “Italian” but don’t expect the locals to speak English. It is not commercialised and is a great location from which to explore Tuscany.
