Perfect Tuscany Adventure
I'm 72, and I can't say enough about what a wonderful stay I had at the Jino House. It seems like the perfect location. 20 minutes from Siena, and the train station in Siena, so that I could easily make daytrips by bus or train to Pisa, and Florence. The trains and buses were very easy to navigate.
The house is darling, and has all the amenities you need to live comfortably. The view outside of the gated courtyard was spectacular.
I stayed for a month! My hosts, Patrizia and her mother Alberta were amazing hosts, and now amazing friends. They helped me discover all of the most interesting and beautiful towns, villages, wineries around Tuscany. There's so much to do and see. They left a very good list of restaurants and wineries, with descriptions, and price ranges. I went to many restaurants and places on their list. I would not have seen nearly as much without their advice and help, and because I was alone, they always made sure I was home safe.
Thank you Patrizia and Alberta. You made my retirement trip everything I hoped for. I'll never forget you or Tuscany, and leave with a warm and happy heart.

(I did rent a care the entire time I was here. You can taxi back and forth to Siena for about 30 euro each way, but if you want to see Tuscany in all it's glory, I do think you need to have a car)
