If you have been planning a stay here and haven't received replies to your emails, please be patient. Telephone lines and hence internet connections have been lost throughout the region.
Note added on 31 December, 2014:
We have had a week of beautiful clear and warm weather. While the sun has been up, I have sat outside in light clothing and at mid-day actually had to move into the shade because the direct sun was so hot. As soon as the sun dropped below the horizon, I went inside in front of the fire. The skies here in Chianti are amazingly clear and brilliant. I can see the Apennines on the other side of the Val d'Arno, crystal clear above a saddle in the Chianti hills.
Be sure to read my post about visiting Tuscany in winter.
