We stayed at a 5 room hotel called the Toscanini Residences. 15th Century Building recently remodeled in the San Spirito area of Florence across from the Pitti Palace and a short walk to Ponte Vechio. Our hosts Paulao and Andrew could not have been more gracious and attentive. Crisp fresh white linens every evening and wonderful air conditioning for our July visit.
Several of the best restaurants that cater primarily to locals are on that side of the river. Best news was that our room – one of their smallest, BTW, was less tha €100 per night.

Osteria La Porta in Monticchiello. Monticchiello is south and east of Pienza. It is really an off the beaten path hill town but worth finding.
Osteria La Porta is right inside the city gate on the left. Great food and wonderful view of the Val d’Orcia. Make a reservation and ask for terrace seating. What a view in the late afternoon and evening.
