Things to do in Tuscany
 If
you can tear yourself away from the beauty of our medieval borgo, Sogna
makes a perfect base for exploring Tuscany. It is just a 30 minute drive
to the centres of Siena and Arezzo and an hour’s drive to Florence.
The classic Tuscan hill towns of Pienza, Montalcino, Montepulciano, are
all within a short drive and Chianti’s famous villages of Castellina,
Greve, Gaiole, Radda are just on our doorstep. Closer to home, you can
take a leisurely stroll to Rapale, the next village in the chain of hilltop
borgos or discover the beauty of the Valdarno and particularly the Valdambra
where the magical medieval towns of Badia a Ruoti, Cennia, Ambra and Bucine,
cling to their hilltop perches evoking a sense of timelessness.
 On
a less cultural note, a 25 minute drive from Sogna will take you to the
anonymous grey warehouse called Space, which is the outlet store for Prada,
Jill Sander, Mui Mui and Helmut Lang. Only 35 minutes from Sogna is The
Mall, a huge complex of outlet shops where you can find labels such as
Bottega Veneta, Emanuel Ungaro, Ermenegildo Zenga, Giorgio Armani, Gucci,
Loro Piana, Hogan, La Perla, Salvatore Ferragamo, Tod’s, Sergio
Rossi, Valentino and Yves St Laurent. This outlet is currently being expanded
and may well have new shops later this year. Down the road from The Mall
you will find the Fendi, Celine, Loewe and the Dolce and Gabbanna outlet
shops.
