Where are the closest shops?
The closest village with any shopping is Ambra (7 to 10min drive), where you will find a bank with cash machine, two cafes, an excellent restaurant, fruit shop, butcher, grocery store and a cinema. There is a small supermarket in Bucine (10 to 12 minutes drive), also in Bucine are a couple of banks and many small specialist shops and even a main line railway station. Further a field is Monte San Savino (20 to 25 minutes drive) which is a beautiful medieval town with a good sized supermarket which (unlike most other Italian shops) does not close for a three hour lunch. Alternatively, why not shop as the Italians do; at local markets which move from town to town; Tuesday is market day in Ambra, whilst it is in Bucine on Wednesday.
