We stayed in a small hamlet called Seciano ...Diane,<br />We stayed in a small hamlet called Seciano which we located through a contact on rentalbyowner.com. I have a phone number for the lady renting the place: JANA 331-678-5674 (Italy)<br />To get there from Rome:<br />A1 North to Cavrigilia/Sienna exit (SP408)<br />Go 10 to Sienna until the roundabout with the Cypress Tree<br />Right at Castel Nuovo then SP14 direction CAstel Nuovo<br />There is a turn left through Neri at Via des Tigli (this left was hard to find, we passed it many times, sharp left right at the town of Neri)<br />Uphill to Secianno (very narrow windy road up up up)<br /> <br />Unfortunately no webpage, but maybe check rental by owner, they may have listed their place now under Secciano.<br />Good luck - the place was so quaint and beautiful. It is a stone building so does get cold at night, this was during April, maybe not in the summer. We requested lots of cut wood to keep the fire going. <br />And thanks for reading the Blog.<br />All the best<br />LiannaThe Waldenco'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01288127530623691968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-85254798383719406.post-74172175207862963922010-05-15T05:46:59.813-07:002010-05-15T05:46:59.813-07:00Mark
