Like an upturned rounded beehive, the peaceful, historic hamlet of Castello di Murlo is right in the middle of Etruscan territory. Il Pozzo is an apartment for four that, like most of the dwellings in this little village, forms part of the walls.

The village has two squares, one with an important Etruscan museum in the ex -Episcopal palace, the other, smaller, with a well in the middle. It also has a restaurant so you can stroll out of the house straight into a great Tuscan Trattoria. The views are stunning, with cultivated hills of the Crete reaching as far as Asciano and Siena on one side, and the Maremma countryside on the other.

You can also walk to the slightly larger village close by, with more restaurants and shops - it's around 15 to 20 minutes, or just under a mile. For travelling further afield there is a bus-stop just outside the walls, around 200 metres from Il Pozzo. Buses from here can take you to Siena in about 45 min.
