Fishing
Castellina
On the road between Castellina and Monteriggioni there is a lake where you can go fishing. To find it follow the signs for Osteria del Laghetto, then continue passed the restaurant. Shortly after you will see a road that goes left up a hill, there is a sign for Poggio di Capanna. At the end of the road there is a lake which is next to a restaurant. Here you can pass a relaxing day, and maybe even catch something for dinner.
All equipment can be rented at the lake (only at weekends) and you pay for the number of rods that you use and not the number of fish that you catch. During the week you can get access to the lake by asking at the restaurant, while on the week ends there is a man at the lake who you can see for equipment and payment.
Open:  The whole year.


Fly fishing
The best place to go fly fishing is Sansepolcro, west of Arezzo in the river Alto Tevere. This is about 1h40 from Siena. You need permission.

In the Chianti you can go to the river Marselone, you will need permission. The permission you can get from  Caccia e Pesca, a shop in Siena, which is easy to find. It is near the Siena nord exit from the dual lane carriageway between Florence and Siena, once off the dual-lane carriage way follow for the centre and you will find yourself on Via Fiorentina.

I went on holiday with my family and we range from 60 years to 2 years so finding a villa to suit all our needs was proving to be quite tricky. When I found your website I just felt a sense of relief

I can't be more pleased with the service To-Tuscany provided. Dick Calabro was especially helpful answering all of my pre-trip questions in a most helpful and timely fashion.

I like To Tuscany, partly because it has a tremendous range of villas, and partly because (unlike many companies) it has an excellent website that provides what you really want when choosing a villa.

Our accommodation, which cost less than £800 for the week, is in a converted stone farmhouse next to a 12th Century Franciscan chapel. There is a pergola shaded by vines round the back here we quickly settle into a rhythm of eating long pasta suppers while the shadows lengthen.
