Famous for its spa and avant-garde medical and beauty treatments, as well as for the production of the famous travertine marble, the common denominator of the local architecture of churches and town squares, Rapolano is located in a geographical position that allows guests to explore the nearby picturesque villages, rich in castles, churches and fortresses. Road links are excellent: the E78 highway, a short distance away, allows guests to reach A1 motorway in less than half an hour and to get quickly and easily to major cities such as Siena and Arezzo as well as to the famous and evocative towns in the vicinity like Montepulciano, Pienza, Montalcino, Cortona and many more. From Rapolano, where guests can do their daily shopping, buses and trains leave for Siena and the larger railway station of Chiusi. Finally, golfers can practice their favourite sport at the 9-hole golf course in nearby Bettolle while, for those not wanting to miss out on a quality shopping spree, the Val di Chiana Outlet Village is a less than half an hour away.
