Next stop after San Gimignano is Lucarelli. It is a tiny village in the Chianti area of Tuscany between Siena and Florence. I found this nice inn whilst browsing the web. It's not very far as the crow flies from SG. However I think I need to catch the bus from SG to Siena and then another bus to Lucarelli. The manager at Casa Il Ristoro has advised me as follows: I suggest you from San Gimignano to go to Siena in the morning (I don't know the time table but you can ask in San Gimignano) and from Siena take an other bus that arrive here in Lucarelli.
The last bus (the company's name of buses is TRA-IN) from Siena to Lucarelli is at 17:15 (from the station).
From Lucarelli to Greve in Chianti is possible to go by bus and the time table is: 06:45 - 07:30 - 09:00 - 13:35 - 18:20
From Greve in Chianti to Lucarelli at 13:15 - 17:55.
I also asked him about buses to local villages.
I have since found the bus time table here. I can catch a bus from Siena (Ferrovia stop) at 1355h, 1410h or 1715h arriving in Lucarelli 1 hour and 10 minutes later. i will catch the bus from SG at 1140h arriving in Siena at P.Gramsci at 1245h or change at Stazione FF.SS (?SG) and catch 1245h arriving in Siena (via Tozzi at 1330 or Policlinico at 1335h).
Change of plan.
Today 10th Feb I have been thinking that maybe I should stay in San Gimi for 4 days instead of all the bussing around to get to Chainti. In which case I won't book anywhere for the 20th and 21st. I'll wait and see. The 18th and 19th are booked at Casa di Giovanna. There is a convent in SG called Foresteria del Monasestero run by Benedictine nuns. I might have a look at that. Maybe I should change my booking at Montalcino to Thurs 23rd instead of Friday 24th. I have booked the San Francesco B&B in Siena for the Saturday 24th, Sunday 25th and Monday 26th nights.
