We definitely enjoyed Tenuta di Spannochia, a castel and estate developed in the 13th century, and ended up extending our stay there an additional two nights. Spannochia is more farm than hotel and has a calm, comfortable feeling and the evening dinner, made from homegrown ingredients and with aperitif beforehand, is not to be missed. It is a close drive to a number of Tuscan villages and is less than 30 minutes from Siena. Osho Miasto, a meditation center, is about a 15 minute drive.
