Around Casa Nonna Rina
One of the village houses in Chiusdino was the birthplace of a local hero, San Galgano, a knight who forsook his fighting life to become a hermit nearby, planting his sword in a rock. There is a museum dedicated to the Saint right next door to the apartment.
Today you can still see his sword in the rock at the site of his conversion, housed in a beautiful vaulted chapel next to an enormous roofless abbey, Abbazia di San Galgano, where classical music concerts are put on over the summer months.
The village has several restaurants, all within easy walking distance of the apartment.
While the house doesn't have a pool, there is wonderful wild-swimming in two nearby rivers, the Farma at the "Canaloni" and in the Merse from Brenna. you can find out more here: "Wild swimming in Tuscany".
The famous centres of Siena, the Val d'Orcia and even Florence can be easily reached from Chiusdino, but it would be a pity not to turn west and explore some of the lesser known villages in the wooded hills between Chiusdino and the sea.

The charges are generally per person per night with a maximum number of nights, usually around 5 but sometimes 7, beyond which they will not charge. The charges range between 50 cents to 5 euro.
