I often see enquiries on travel forums, from travellers preparing for their trip to Tuscany, requesting a recommendation for an
apartment to rent in a small town or village in Tuscany. They have the right idea! There's no better way to enjoy and really understand life here in Tuscany than by renting a self-catering vacation apartment outside of the main centres. And it's economical as well! Today I want to describe just such a place, namely
Appartamento Saverio in Greve in Chianti which
sleeps 4 in a double room and a twin room, and can sleep two more on a sofa bed.

| An apartment to rent in a small town or village in Tuscany |
The apartment that I'm recommending today is situated right on Piazza Matteotti, the arcaded, main piazza of the small town of
Greve in Chianti. Greve has around 14,000 inhabitants and is located on the scenic
via Chiantigiana, the main road between Florence and Siena. Greve is accessible by bus from Florence (60 minutes to the centre of Florence) and Appartamento Saverio is a five minute walk from the bus stop, meaning that you don't need a car to get here nor to make excursions to Florence. There is a good supermarket in the town plus numerous restaurants and food outlets, many of them around Piazza Matteotti. And yet, in most directions, a 15 minute stroll takes you out into the vineyards and olive groves, and the
mediaeval walled village of Montefioralle is just a mile away.
The apartment is large and both the structure and the furnishings are typically Tuscan, with a huge fireplace in the living room. In fact, the buildings around Piazza Matteotti date back several hundred years. Appartamento Saverio has two modern bathroom and a huge terrace that overlooks the piazza. A great place for a dinner al fresco or just to sit and enjoy the sun while watching the activity of the piazza. In essence, if you're looking for an apartment to rent in a small town or village in Tuscany, Appartamento Saverio should be at or near the top of the list!
