Once in the town of Greve, continue on the SS222 towards Siena - leaving the town and approximately 1 km further on the right hand side you will see the signs for entrance to the Vitigliano estate. The sign reads: "Fattoria di Vitigliano". Take the white road uphill and make your FIRST RIGHT.

Follow the UMBRELLA PINE TREES to the MONTE PONI complex for La Torre, Alba and l'Apartementino.

From the main train station in Florence, SMN (Santa Maria Novella), exit the station and cross the street to the SITA bus station (behind the Deana bar).

Take the blue SITA bus towards Greve or Panzano.

The bus to Panzano has a stop for Vitigliano at the bottom of the cypress tree lined, white road at the estate entrance. It is advisable to notify the driver that you would like to get off at Vitigliano when boarding the bus.

You may also take the bus to Greve and have someone pick you up there. Walking from Greve is also a possibility if you are feeling "sportivo" and are not carrying any bags. Please note in any case, that the white road at the entrance of the estate is uphill to MONTE PONI.
