We arrived in Italy in a heat wave and spent a delightful week in a house in Val D'Orcia before…read morearriving to stay in two yurts at La Prugnola. We slightly dreaded the transition to camping, and felt we'd done things in the wrong order. We couldn't have been more wrong. The yurts have been recently shipped from Mongolia and are painted like gypsy caravans. Ours had 90 wooden spokes and was truly beautiful, especially at night. It had the most comfortable of beds, a day bed/sofa, and good hanging and cupboard space. Each yurt has its very own clean and well appointed bathroom, and you can hire a small fridge. The yurts are situated high above sea level and catch the breeze coming off the sea. In the evening they cool quicker than the buildings. There is a wonderful view of the sunset from the communal cooking area. Overall we found he yurts to be MORE luxurious than the house had been. And best of all were the breakfasts provided by La Prugnola - delicious fruit, salami and cold meats, heavenly bruschetta made by Sylvia, and coffee on tap. Marina and her sister couldn't not have been more helpful, and told us about places to swim, eat and visit. While here we visited Florence by train (only advisable if you set off early unlike us!) and Elba by boat and had many memorable swims. Too much to do in one week. We shall be back! Can't recommend highly enough.
