Daytrips to Volterra, San Gimignano, Siena, Firenze, Lucca, or to the beach... all within 100 km. Long lunches in the near by villages. Even longer lunches at home... or just relax with a book, a bottle of wine and some antipasto, and enjoy la vita...

Portofino (Liguria) is 200 kms from Orciatico but also a worthy trip. Check in to a nice hotel in Santa Margherita and enjoy some days by the coast. You cannot avoid Cinque Terre (150 km) on your way back.
