Sightseeing
"Anyone longing to see a truly authentic Chianti town should head straight for San Casciano Val di Pesa. Pretty, historic, full of local colour, typical trattorie and bars that spill out onto the street, this small town is now fast becoming a crucial stop on the Chianti trail.
San Casciano is perfect as a day trip destination from Florence or even as a base from which to explore the area, as it’s one of the gateways to the Chianti region. Located 15 kilometres south of Florence, it’s easy to get to by car or public transport, and offers a nice range of restaurants, gelaterie and boutique shops to keep you entertained. Monday outdoor market selling everything from food to clothing.
Visit San Casciano Val di Pesa in Tuscany, Italy
It’s one of the most sought after destinations for people who want an alternative to Florence but who are looking for a place with a bit of life. Lots of expats have decided to buy houses in or around San Casciano because of its superb location. What’s more, it’s not a sleepy country village, but a lively place with some very good restaurants, (we absolutely love the “Cantinetta del nonno”!), a theatre, a cinema, and a few nice places for aperitivi.
There’s a lovely green space just outside the walls, “Il Piazzone” with a great view over the valley and plenty of space to relax, where people of all ages can meet for a chat or an ice cream. In San Casciano Val di Pesa you can savour real Tuscan life in a place that hasn’t been overtaken by tourists yet. Better still, it’s a very good place to choose if you’re travelling with kids."
