Hi Rose,
We stayed in the Le Chiuse 3 apartment. I loved this place for a few reasons...
1) You are literally perched on top of a Brunello vineyard and wine cellar.
2) The views are simply unbelievable.
3) It is a stone's throw from Montalcino, one of my favorite hill towns.
4) It is easy to get into town for groceries, bakery, etc. at just 5 minutes away.
5) Sitting out by the pool with a glass of wine at the end of the day with the most gorgeous view ever was priceless for me.
I hope this helps! :)

I saw your picture, very very nice. Always feel blessed to witness something like that. Do you know Tom Davis, in past "life/lives" he lived in Oriental sailing a large wooden boat/ship and running a B&B. Think he and wife might not be toghether anymore. He was my boss many many moons ago, he is about 6'7" so is hard to miss, used to blue water charter/captain the boat if I have the story right. At any rate, our picture is at the mouth of the Narragansett Bay on the East side of Jamestown Island. Our daughter lives in Providence, in-laws are thru out southern RI, Newport, Jamestown and Narragansett. This schoomer was passing by and made a nice shot.

Rose -

We were there at the end of October. There were times we needed to bundle up, but often the days were very pleasant.

We had seven in our group and stayed at Poggio alla Rose in Buonconvento - apartments 1 and 3.

See my blog for all the details.

Hi Rose. I didn't attempt to learn any amount of Italian, but knowing how to say "please" and "thank-you" helps. Amazingly, sign language works wonders as long as it's done with a smile. Actually, many of the Italians in the service industry know some English. We found the most important Italian to know was "due cappucino".

Hi Rose,
I would visit Rome first, then relax in Tuscany. We had an Untours provided driver to pick us up at the airport and take us into Rome to our apartment. I would not ever attempt to drive in Rome. I have driven back to the airport from Umbria using the "ring" road around the city. That was doable. In the city, never. I love Rome. Have a wonderful trip. Do learn some Italian, it makes it so much more fun. I used Pimsleur's language cds and BBC language website.
