Embark On A Day Trail Of Val Di Merse

If you’re holidaying in Tuscany, it’s highly recommended to take a few days to explore the wealth of historic, artistic and environmental treasures of the Val di Merse area of Tuscany. A day trip of the towns of Radicondoli, Sovicille and Murlo would be an excellent start to this trail of discovery! Related articles describe another thrilling day trip to embark on and a general description of the main towns and attractions of Val di Merse. Tourists wishing to stay in Val di Merse for a few days have plenty of holiday villas and other exclusive accommodation to choose from, where they can enjoy a peaceful scenic stay.

Start off an exciting day of touring with a trip to the Orange Flag awarded town of Radicondoli! It’s a magnificent walled town on a hill surrounded by forestry which is one of the finest examples of authentic Tuscan living. The people here are very welcoming of tourists and enjoy showing off their artisan crafts and delicious food specialties. Visit the revered Collegiata dei Santi Simone e Giuda which houses splendid artworks by Pietro di Domenico and Alessandro Casolani. Visitors can also enjoy walks around the old town where they can admire many tower houses and ancient town houses that were built in typical Sienese style architecture.

Holidays are made for doing things you have never tried before and for doing the things that you love but normally do not have the time or energy to pursue in your daily life. From surfing to hiking to wine-tasting, there are all sorts of pursuits that can be enjoyed at your leisure while on holidays, without worrying about having to get back to chores or work and without having to consider any potential costs incurred in the way that you might normally have to factor into your plans. For many, one great example of an activity that they may have long loved but never have quite enough time for or easy access to if they live in bigger towns and cities and an activity that others may be curious about but never actually got around to trying out is horseback riding! Particularly enjoyable if you are exploring new landscapes, horseback riding is especially wonderful for those who have found a vacation rental in Tuscany as the stunning, rolling hills and pastoral settings of the Tuscan countryside make for the perfect place to befriend a new equine pal and plod along together through the prettiest of surroundings.

Spend a glorious vacation in Tuscany during the month of October where there are some lovely festivals and fairs to visit during the trip.

The fair of St. Luke in Impruneta is among one of the oldest livestock fairs in Europe and attracts hundreds of farmers and visitors alike. It takes place on the week around the 18th October. Learn about the cultural traditions and customs of the area and have fun browsing around the many stalls set up here during the fair event.

There is no shortage of incredible and picturesque villages and towns in Tuscany but one of the most charming is Radicondoli in the Province of Siena. Located about 60km southwest of Florence and about 25km southwest of Siena. This pretty, millennia-old walled town is perched on a hilltop with panoramic views over the rolling hills of the surrounding Tuscan countryside.

With cobblestone streets, a close-knit community, a delicious locally-sourced local cuisine and sustainable lifestyle, it is home to less than a thousand people and is an idyllic little spot, a world away from tourist attractions and crowds.

This is an authentic and picturesque place that is terribly photogenic and a perfect little enclave to escape to on holidays. Just find a vacation rental in Radicondoli and come discover its charms for yourself.

A fantastic way to see a lot of Tuscany in a short time is to enjoy a few day trips of different scenic regions in the area. One such day trip that tourists would enjoy is a day trip of the Val di Merse area, namely the towns of Monticiano and Chiusdino. Two related articles describe the general tourist attractions of this area as well as another planned day trip of the main towns. There is a wide range of excellent holiday rentals in the Val di Merse area for visitors who’d like to stay here for a few days.

The large town of Chiusdino is a popular tourist spot, mainly because it’s the home place of St. Galgano when he was born in 1148.

His home, a simple grey stone building is now a shrine. In the simple Romanesque chapel of the Compagnia, there’s a decorative bas relief depicting St. Michael’s apparition to St. Galgano. The saint’s head is now conserved as a sacred relic in the nearby Propositura di San Michele! Tourists should visit the famous monastery he founded a short distance away, the Abbey of San Galgano. A small circular chapel on a hill beside it is where the popular legend of the Sword in the Stone is thought to have originated!

Galgano Guidotti was born in 1148 to a minor noble. At the age of 32, he had spent most of his life as a self-centred, violent knight. That year he was visited by the Archangel Michael in a vision and told to renounce his ways.

Guidotti then became a hermit and took up residence in a nearby cave. While on his horse one day, he was mystically led to Montesiepi, a hill near his home town, Chiusdino. There he saw a vision of the Apostles, Christ and Mary and was, once again, told to turn his back on his former ways. At this point of the tale, there are a couple versions of what happened next.
