It is the ideal location to start your bike and mountain bike tours of the area. A detailed hike and bike trails map is available for you to borrow during your stay.
Get used to greet hikers passing by and asking for directions to Monteriggioni's castle: the house is located on a portion of Via Francigena, that the pilgrims used to walk to reach Rome from France - today it is a well indicated and beautiful hiking track, across olive trees fields and vineyards.
Across an easy path though the fields and alongside the woods, you can bike to Monteriggioni in 15 min or walk there in 30 min. The last part is uphill, so you need good legs ... but the nice view and an icecream at the castle will repay the effort!
Another little jewel at 10 min drive or 1 hour walk along the via Francigena, is the Rock of Staggia, a well preserved fortified fortress dating back to the 14th century. Look for "roccadistaggia" for more information.
The house is located 300 mt out of the small village of Abbadia Isola, so you will enjoy the nature and the natural sounds of the countryside, while still being at 3 min drive from the nearest supermarket, bank, pharmacy, bus and train stop.
You can park your cars in front of the house or inside the fence.
