A swimming pool with view on the valley
If it is summer and you wish to dip in a pool… I suggest you to go to Camping Le Soline in Casciano di Murlo (Siena). This swimming pool in the area of Murlo is big and has a beautiful panoramic position …
Of course you can choose to stay in the camping with your tent, roulotte or camper or in a bungalow but you can also go there just for their swimming pool paying a daily ticket for the swimming pool. Last year the price was 7,50 euro/per person and you can stay there the whole day. In the camping there are also a café and a restaurant.
This is a great idea especially if you’ve got children and you want to let them play in the water for a day..:-))

Horse riding with Giorgio in the Siena territory
When people ask me, if they can do some horse riding I always suggest to call Giorgio, wherever he is at the moment (and at the moment I think he should always be by Fattoria Casa Bianca…) but it is not necessary the accomodation at the Fattoria for horse riding with him.
He is a real chavalier, a patented instructor, he is born in the territory and knows and loves very much the territory and he’s very very nice! Let’s book a walk with horses for you and your friends / family with him… and then tell me! you can book only a morning / afternoon or a whole day with stop at an osteria.. he knows a lot of places and will show you the real Toscana: if you love horse riding or wish to try, do not hesitate!

Pizzeria dell’Arco, Murlo Castle
If you’re planning to visit Murlo, a very little medieval village in the south of Siena territory, I suggest you to stop at the Pizzeria dell’Arco.
It is better to book!
I suggest you to book a table ouside on the terrace, both opened (in spring or summer months) or closed but not inside.. I don’t like it inside.
The place is very pleasant, with a very nice view on the hills, quiet and the food is good and not expensive: I suggest you to eat Antipasto dell’Arco (a mix of typical siennese antipasti/ starters / hors d’oeuvres) and then follow with Pici, for example..
As usual, I suggest you to drink “vino della casa” which is always good and not too expensive..
Buon appetito and …let me know, if you appreciated the place!

The Castle of Murlo
I think that the territory of Murlo is simply the most beautiful in Tuscany and that a walk in the medieval Castle of Murlo is obliged.
The Castle of Murlo is really small and pictoresque: you can do a walk in its pictoresque roads, visit the Museo Etrusco and have a lunch or dinner at the Pizzeria dell’Arco, it is really a pleasant place, not too expensive with good food. If you’re planning to go there, I suggest you to book a table outside in the terrace or not to go..
After lunch you can do a walk around the castle walls …
A magnific territory and a pictoresque village!
