Practical driving notes

ZTL zones (Zona Traffico Limitato)

Historic centres (Florence, Siena, Lucca, Arezzo) are restricted-traffic zones (ZTL): park outside the walls and walk in, as entering without a permit triggers an automatic fine.

Strade bianche (white gravel roads)

Many villas, especially in the Val d’Orcia and deeper Chianti, are reached by unpaved gravel roads. A normal hire car manages them at low speed; ask for arrival instructions, as GPS can be unreliable.

Motorway key routes

Florence–Siena: RA3. A1: Florence towards Arezzo and Rome. A11: Florence towards Lucca and Pisa. A12: the western coastal corridor. Check tolls and the final exit for your destination.

Airports

Pisa (PSA) is the main airport for most villa areas and Florence (FLR) the closest for Chianti; Rome Fiumicino (FCO) suits the southern Maremma and nonstop US flights, about 2 hours 15 minutes from the Val d’Orcia.
