Sitting on a hillside in the middle of an area dear to the Etruscans, the house looks out over a vast sweep of Tuscan countryside, where vestiges of Etruscan culture still exist.  About a 5 minute drive from the house is a village with a grocery store and a typical trattoria inside the medieval walls, while just a few steps outside in a newer area is, quite unexpectedly, a Michelin starred restaurant.\r\n\r\nVilla Giulio has 2 full floors with high ceilings and 400 sq meters of living area (about 4,400 sq.ft). On the ground floor is a very large living room with fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen, a breakfast room, a bathroom with shower for the disabled, and adjacent to the dining room, doors open outside to a wide covered portico with fireplace, barbecue and large dining table. Also on the ground floor is a separate 1-bedroom apartment with study, bathroom with shower, and dining room with a small kitchen.\r\n\r\nStairs lead from the entrance hall to the upper floor; there\'s a lounge with a large fireplace, 3 double bedrooms, 1 twin bedroom that can be made into a double, a study with a mezzanine floor with 2 single beds suitable for children, and 4 bathrooms from which 2 have a bath and 2 have a shower.\r\n\r\nThe house is impeccably furnished and offers a series of amenities. The bathrooms includes bidets and hair dryers. Each bedroom has a combination safe for guests\' use, and all windows have mosquito screens.  There is also a washing machine at the back near the kitchen.\r\n\r\nA short walk up a few steps and thru a grove of trees takes you to the private 6 x 12 meter swimming pool. At the end of the pool is a covered terrace, a changing room cabana and an outdoor shower. There\'s also a delightful table and seats under the trees. A separate storage building by the entry gate holds the garden furniture in the winter.\r\n\r\nThe property is surrounded by 5 acres (2 hectares) of fenced-in grounds and is reached by a 5-minute drive along a 2-mile dirt track from the village of Trevinano on the border of Tuscany and Lazio.\r\n\r\nSan Casciano dei Bagni with all shops and facilities is at 10 kms, Acquapendente is at 15 kms, Proceno is at 17 kms, Chiusi and its Etruscan museum is at 25 kms, Pienza is at 35 kms, Siena is at 80 kms, Firenze is at 120 kms and Rome is at 140 kms.\r\n\r\nThe house has a maid that cleans two times weekly.

The restaurants where you should make reservations are noted with *. During the summer call at least one day in advance for dinner (<em>cena</em>) reservations (<em>pre-notazione</em>). Kitchen is typically open for lunch from 12:30 to about 2:00 pm, for dinner: 7:30 - 9:30 pm, and later on weekends.\r\n\r\nIn restaurants, pizza is served at dinner only. During the day, buy pizza by the slice from the snack-bars in towns. House wine is always good. If you’re a couple, ask for <em>mezzo litro di rosso</em> = half a litre of red in a carafe, works out to 4 servings. Most restaurants now only have bottled wines. Craft beer is now available and made by small local breweries. No smoking inside, but at outside tables, please ask your waiter if okay to <em>fumare</em>, then ask for the <em>porta cenere</em> = the ashtray. Some restaurants still don\'t take credit cards so bring enough cash. <em>Buon appetito!</em>\r\n\r\nHere are few sentences in Italian to help you book a table:<em>   </em>\r\n\r\n<em>Vorrei prenotare per la cena domani sera, due persone, il nome è Smith </em>= I would like to make a reservation for dinner tomorrow evening, 2 people, name is Smith.\r\n\r\n<em>Vorrei prenotare per il pranzo oggi, quatro persone, il nome è  Jones </em>= I would like to make a reservation for lunch today, 4 people, name is Jones.\r\n\r\n<em>Preferisco una tavola fuori</em> = I prefer a table outside, <em>dentro</em> = inside\r\n\r\n$ = moderate, $$ = mid-range, $$$ = costly\r\n<h2>Acquaviva di Montepulciano</h2>\r\n<strong>Ristorante l\'Angolo</strong>, serves classic Tuscan cuisine in a pleasant restaurant with good service. Go for lunch while touring the Vino Nobile vineyards. They now have 2 sides to this place, the established restaurant and at the adjacent refurbished room is a modern fusion style new restaurant. Have a look at the different menus, share an antipasto plate, and taste the home made long pasta called \"pici\". The bottle of high quality/low price red wine from a local canteen was served with passion for hospitality by the owner. Closed Mondays. Via Via Galileo Galilei 18, 53045 Acquaviva di Montepulciano, behind the main church, 3 blocks from the main street, center of town (our last visit was years ago, but I hear it\'s still excellent). (+39) 0578-767-216. ($$)*\r\n<h2>Amiata mountain, village of Pescina</h2>\r\n<strong>Ristorante Silene</strong>, fine dining at Mt Amiata, well worth a detour to this famous restaurant and country Inn. Refined cooking and local specialties (truffles, mushrooms, game), also vegetarian selection. Enjoy delicious hand-made pasta and the baked chocolate desert. Extensive wine list, professional staff, well furnished dining room. Closed Mondays &amp; during November. At cross-roads, center of village, short drive from Seggiano. 0564-950-805. ($$)*\r\n<h2>Asciano</h2>\r\n<strong>Locanda Amordivino</strong>, dine at the best restaurant in town, very nicely done large outdoor area in the back where you can see the chef grill steaks at a huge BBQ. Excellent pasta as well, also good starters, so we eat well here. Last visit in June 2016. Closed Tuesdays. <span class=\"format_address\"><span class=\"street-address\">Corso Matteotti, 126/128</span>, <span class=\"locality\">53041 Asciano</span>, </span>at the end of main street. Tel: 0577-165 660. ($$)\r\n<h2>Bagno Vignoni</h2>\r\n<strong>il Loggiato</strong> is our current favorite in the spa town of Bagno Vignoni. Il Loggiato more of a wine-bar and a tavern, than a restaurant, so you don\'t have to follow any rules of formal dining. In summer the best tables are outside shaded by big umbrellas, while in the winter the inside bar and dining area are downstairs. There you\'ll find 2 dining rooms with rustic brick walls and cozy atmosphere. Very informal menu of bruschettas, cheese plates and other light meals and snacks, but also soups and meat dishes at reasonable prices. Newly opened next to the famous open pool, and just below the bookstore drawing in a younger crowd. Attentive service by the owners, one is a sommelier and the other is a proper cook. Open for lunch and dinner, closed Thursdays. Tel 0577-888-973. www.illoggiato.com ($$)\r\n\r\n<strong>Osteria La Parata</strong>, <strong>Osteria del Leone</strong>, and <strong>La Terrazza</strong> have all been there for many years and are well known restaurants. Usually you can get a table even during the summer. But on holiday weekends they get very busy and both service and food quality suffer. We\'ve had many good meals and many bad ones too. This is a tourist hot-spot where the food scene is constantly changing and also the staff and management have high turnover. There are also 3 cafes along the main walk serving snacks and light meals, so you have more choice.\r\n<h2>Bettolle</h2>\r\n1 km from the Val di Chiana A1 exit:\r\n<strong>Betulia</strong>, classic Tuscan cooking, standard pastas and grilled meats. Closed Saturdays. Established small restaurant with constantly good meals. Via Vittorio Veneto 21, just inside the town from intersection to Sinalunga. Tel: 0577-624-131.($)\r\n<h2>Buonconvento</h2>\r\n<strong>La Via di Mezzo</strong>, good place for lunch and dinner in center of old town, very good local seasonal fare including home-made pasta, daily specials, big salads. Inside lots of room for even big groups, outside a few tables. Closed Tuesdays. Last visit in July 2016. Friendly service and English spoken. Via Soccini 53. On the main street, center of old town. Tel: 0577-806-320.($$) www.osterialaviadimezzo.com\r\n<h2>Castelmuzio</h2>\r\n<strong>Camarlegno</strong>, is a very good trattoria on the central piazza of the village. Serves the local menu at reasonable prices, see all the specials for this summer. Many tables on the piazza and more in a charming dining room upstairs, walk past the bar and the B&amp;B reception desk to get there. The roof-top of the tower has a spectacular open dining area seating 4 to 12 people, (if you can climb up the steps!) special booking for groups. Last visited May 2017. Closed Mondays. 0577-665-373. ($$)\r\n\r\n<strong>Trattoria della Filiera</strong>, is a new eatery in town, located under the large parking area facing Montisi in a light and bright building with an entire wall of arches filled with windows. The charming Daniella runs the dining room while her brother is the chef, cooking traditional items such as the excellent lasagne I had, and also familiar treats for tourists, like hamburgers. This is a great place for groups, because there\'s a lot of space indoors, plus 2 long picnic tables with umbrellas outside. It may not be fancy, but a very welcoming and relaxed place to have a good meal.

Closed Mondays. Best place for lunch when visiting the monastery. 0577-835-619.

The other trattoria near Sant\'Antimo, with large outdoor terrace. 0577-835-546. ($)\r\n<h2>Castiglion d\'Orcia</h2>\r\n8 km up from town, well worth the scenic drive, you arrive at <strong>Ristorante I Lecci</strong>. Currently (May 2017) the best value (quality/price) restaurant in the Orcia Valley and Amiata areas of southern Tuscany. You reach sublime heights of culinary nirvana with Chef Rita’s fresh melt-in-your-mouth pasta with delicious sauce of truffle-walnut cream or porcini mushrooms, to-die-for! Tortelli can be had with the best ragu. My choice is the little <em>gnocchetti verdi al gorgonzola</em>. In warm weather we have leisurely lunches under shade on the wide panoramic terrace with platters of antipasti, and in the late fall dinners by the fireplace inside the well furnished large restaurant. Game is also on the menu, and their tender steaks of Chianina beef are cooked over hot coals, but leave some room for dessert too (sharing is okay). Your charming host, Andrea, takes good care of you while Rita is an amazing chef. The prices are lower than one would expect and the atmosphere is most welcoming.\r\n\r\nFrom Pienza in the Orcia valley take the route SS2, the Via Cassia, just south of Bango Vignoni, drive up to Castiglion d’Orcia and keeping to the main road, drive past town and continue another 4 km along route SS323, at fork turn left toward Vivo d’Orcia (route SP18). Take this road driving thru the forest and in 4 km you see on your right a 2-story roadhouse with a large parking area.

Charming staff serve delicious local food and the classics, so it\'s sure to please. Last visit August 2016. Open every day, look for the signs, on a hilltop next to town ($$). 0578-53748.\r\n\r\n<strong>Trattoria La Pace</strong>, good home-style cooking (mamma in the kitchen), enjoy excellent hand-made \"pici\" at this friendly family restaurant. Besides the pici and the meats cooked “ai buglione”, the menu also offers specialties like tagliolini all’ortica (= ribbon pasta with nettle sauce), spinach and ricotta ravioli and pasta with wild boar ragu. Everything is home made from traditional recipes of grandma Amelia. is Lucia the cook, with Moreno, the husband, serving the food. Open every day during summer, closed Thursdays rest of the year. Covered terrace in summer is very pleasant, last visit May 2015. In the center of old town, Via Teatro 5.

Osteria Vecchia is now simply known as \"da Nilo\" (at Nilo\'s), after the owner himself. This is still the same beloved local favorite. Menu has fresh seasonal and regional dishes, superb homemade pastas, delicious food and great value for money. We last had lunch there in June 2016, the ravioli and the lamb chops just delicious, and the pici aglione had the more intense garlic flavor that I crave for! Closed Tuesdays in low season only. Seating outside on the terrace to the right of the main entry (best place for views over the piazza), and more tables al fresco around at the back of the restaurant. Inside is a classy dining room. Highly recommended restaurant, can get very busy so reservation is a must especially for the terrace in the summer evenings. Tel: 0578-239-040 www.iltigliodipiazza.it/ristorante-da-nilo.aspx  ($$)*\r\n\r\n<strong>Osteria del Merlo</strong>, is a superb restaurant and serious competition to the above Osteria da Nilo. It opened just 2 years ago, and has already carved out a reputation amongst the Italian foodies. Located at the south-east corner of Piazza Garibaldi, just dozen steps to the left from Nilo\'s and around the corner from the cafe, you see a large stone tower with covered outdoor seating at the front deck, and inside you take a few steps down to a spacious high vaulted dining room at the base of the tower. A/c inside was welcome for our first lunch there in the hot days of August 2015. Professional waiters offer smooth service and excellent wine list (also by the glass), but the star here is the Chef Elisa in the kitchen! She beautifully prepared seasonal foods with sublime flavors, everything we had was delicious. Can\'t wait to go back! Closed Mondays. Via Sobborgo, 1, Cetona.

($$$)*\r\n<h2>Cortona - Camucia</h2>\r\nwhen your travels take you to Cortona, in the valley below is <strong>Canta Napoli</strong>, a superb seafood restaurant just north of the town of Camucia. Gary and I had a memorable lunch here on 18 June 2014. It\'s rare to have excellent seafood this far inland, so this restaurant owned by 2 Neapolitan brothers should get every seafood lover\'s attention. The shellfish was superb, featured firstly on the antipasto platter that we shared as a starter. It had fresh cold octopus salad and several types of cured fish and as soon we finished it, out came the surprise 2nd part; a bowl of steaming clams and mussels! The pasta course was predetermined since we are dedicated to spaghetti alle vongole, and sure enough, sweet and delicious clams piled high on top of hot pasta was a treat to all senses. We even had the main course which was perhaps a bit too much food at lunch, but could not resist tasting their grilled and lightly fried mixed seafood platters, to further explore the menu. House white wine was perfect and inexpensive, and the whole meal with mineral water and coffees came to about 45 euros a head. Really good value for such high quality food. Service was friendly and efficient, menu has English translation, the setting was most pleasant in one of their two well furnished dining rooms. There\'s parking up front and down the side street. Located at a roadside hamlet just north of Camucia see signs on the main road, the SS 71. www.cantanapoli.net Loc. Le Piagge, 33/A – Camucia di Cortona (AR), tel: 0575-62996.

Now I\'m talking about hospitality. Our recent meal (May 2015)  in Chiusi was in the center of the old town, at Osteria Etrusca. Hospitality here is like magic; the charm, warmth and kindness of the owners, father and daughter, is beyond comparison. They both speak English. We sat at a covered outside table watching the street scene at the end of the day, and agreed that this is why we love Italy! The food is classic local fare, our group of 6 ordered pizzas, pastas, steak and salads ... all delicious and very affordably priced. Here you\'re not just a tourist. Closed Mondays. <span class=\"format_address\"><span class=\"street-address\">Via Porsenna</span>, <span class=\"locality\">53043 Chiusi</span> , tel: 0578-222-243  </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Osteria La Solita Zuppa</strong>, creative take on Tuscan cooking, good food but small portions. Closed Tuesdays. Friendly service, cozy restaurant. Via Porcenna 21, in middle of the old town with the famous Etruscan museum. Tel: 0578-21-006. ($$)* www.lasolitazuppa.it\r\n<h2>Chiusure</h2>\r\nThe best value in 2017 is at  <strong>Ristorante La Terrazza Chiusure</strong> (on Facebook) same as  <strong>Osteria Pizzeria Delle Piazze</strong> (on Tripadvisor), serving classic home cooked meals on the north side of the village in Chiusure, with big portions of inexpensive tasty food. Bring everyone with you, this is a great place for kids, too! 4 people can eat for 50 euros total, and the pizza is superb. I often \'splurge\' and order the Antipasto Goloso and the Pizza Pazza. The mixed grill of pork is also good, as are the pastas for those who are tired of pizza already. The charming ladies, Giovanna and Adriana, will look after you! I want to give you a tip, hold onto your fork and knife, you don\'t get new ones for every dish at these prices! Order wine by the half liter or the full liter carafe and try the new artisan beers .... pizza is still tastes best with a beer. The covered terrace has panoramic views over Siena Province and you see the huge Monte Oliveto Abbey illuminated down the valley in the evenings. During the summer you need to call (+39) 0577 707103 for reservations on the splendid terrace. Plenty of easy parking along the road.  By the way, I live in this village. Via delle Piazze, 3, Chiusure , 53041 Asciano SI ($)* .\r\n\r\n<strong>Locanda il Paradiso </strong>(on Facebook, Google) has been here in Chiusure for decades (10 km to Asciano and Buonconvento). It\'s located on the edge of the village and offers a simple menu of summertime food with cold starters, hot soups and pastas at fair prices. Nothing is over 8 euros .

For the fabulous tasting menus of 6 or more small courses, expect to pay over 100 euros per person, and you can also order a\' la carte. Excellent wine list. Stop here when driving to San Gimignano or Volterra. Food is elevated to a fine art, service is professional, dining room is comfortable and smart casual dressing would be appropriate. Closed every Tuesday and Wednesday. Via XX Settembre 50, center of the upper old town. 0577-920-549 www.arnolfo.com/ ($$$)*\r\n<h2>La Foce</h2>\r\n<strong>Ristorante Dopolavoro</strong> re-opened at La Foce a few years ago, and now it\'s a spacious open barn-like restaurant and a recommended stop while touring the Val d’Orcia region. Come here for delicious food in a relaxing outdoor or indoor setting, with friendly service and English spoken. They are open all day and the location is next to the famous Origo villa and gardens, making this the perfect place for lunch before taking the guided garden tour at La Foce on the weekends and Wednesday afternoons; the tours start at 3, 4, 5 and 6 pm.\r\n\r\nLast time we had a group of 6 for lunch here in June of 2017. We opted for a lighter meal and shared several plates of different cold cuts, cheeses and salads. Their menu offers the usual Tuscan fare with many good starters and pastas, while the mains include stews, kebabs, BBQ ribs and steaks. Here\'s a nice surprise, they also offer a juicy hamburger and fries, with mayo and ketchup!! This hamburger is what we\'d expect in the English speaking world, with a beef patty inside a bun plus extras like bacon &amp; cheese.  You should keep this in mind, as many restaurants have a \"hamburger\" on the menu, but it\'s only a plain ground up steak, no bun or anything else, and barely cooked, more like a steak tartar. Get your real burger here, Dopolavoro has got it right! Strada della Vittoria, 90, La Foce (SI) – Tel: 0578-754-025 www.dopolavorolafoce.it\r\n<h2>Lucignano d\'Arbia</h2>\r\n<strong>Valserena</strong> is a local trattoria halfway between Siena and Buonconvento at Lucignano d\'Arbia. Valserena is a neighborhood restaurant with a basic traditional menu, but it\'s definitely the best simple eatery in this valley and visited by the locals for their grilled meats. Great atmosphere, loud conversations, and everybody seems to know everybody. Come here for a good evening with absolutely authentic and really inexpensive food, drinkable house wine, and very friendly, relaxed atmosphere. We have feasted on their delicious spare ribs and gnocchi with pesto. Pizza is also cooked in the evenings. Don\'t miss this experience! Open for lunch and dinner, closed on Wednesdays. The restaurant is perched on a hill west of the Via Cassia, about 9 km north from Buonconvento, and 1 km south of Lucignano d\'Arbia. <span class=\"format_address\"><span class=\"street-address\">Via Cassia Sud, 2858</span>, <span class=\"locality\">53014, Monteroni d\'Arbia.

Set inside the town walls, this is an eatery of high quality, both in food and service. The menu created by Chef Susanna is loaded with seasonal food, including, a surprisingly large selection of vegan and vegetarian dishes! I love the marvelous mixed antipasto platter of tasty treats. From the street the restaurant looks small, but expands side, and in fine weather, ask to be seated out the back on the veranda, as the view across the Tuscan countryside is wonderful. On main street of old town at: Via Matteotti, 90, 52046 Lucignano. 0575.836707 ($$)*\r\n<h2>Montalcino</h2>\r\n<strong>Taverna del Grappolo Blu</strong>, our last visit back in 2008 was a pleasure, and I hear that it’s still serving rich and tasty home made pastas on pretty plates, excellent guinea foul, half-bottles of house red at great value. Warm and cozy interior in rustic building, friendly service, English spoken. Located right off the main street (Via Mazzini) near town-hall piazza, a few steps down the side alley Scala di Moglio, look for the signs. Open every day. 0577-847-150 ($$)*\r\n\r\n<strong>Boccon di Vino</strong> and <strong>Taverna dei Barbi</strong> are 2 well known restaurants, but we stay away, so please let me know if you go and how it was!\r\n<h2>Monte Oliveto Maggiore Abbey</h2>\r\n<strong>R</strong><strong>istorante San Valentino</strong> is part of the Piccolo Hotel San Valentino just 2 miles from the Abbey towards Buonconvento. From the road you drive up and around the back for parking. There\'s a covered terrace that\'s good for lunch, and inside a large dining room but step thru to the wide open garden patio for dining outside in the warm season. The cook\'s name is Gigliola and she\'s a pro in preparing the classic Tuscan menu with a very nice touch. In the summer you should try her panzanella and burrata ravioli, with good local wines and of course always ask about the specials! It\'s very romantic there on the patio and garden at sunset! Address: SP451, 53041 San Valentino, Asciano SI, Italy, (<a class=\"fl r-iv_1cnswcDxc\" title=\"Call via Hangouts\" data-number=\"+390577707153\" data-rtid=\"iv_1cnswcDxc\" data-ved=\"0CJ0BEJAIKAEwDw\">+39) 0577 707153</a> ($$)\r\n\r\n<strong>Ristorante La Torre</strong> at the Abbey serves good food outside on the large covered terrace, but is often busy with tour groups. Closed Tuesdays. Enjoy lunch on the terrace when visiting the famous abbey. 0577-707-022. ($$)*\r\n\r\nUp 1 km from the abbey in <strong>Chiusure</strong> is an excellent pizzeria <strong>Ristorante La Terrazza</strong> serving classic meals on the north side of the village with panoramic views. The <strong>Osteria il Paradiso</strong>   inside the village offers a classic simple menu of summertime food of cold starters, hot soups and pastas at fair prices. Paradiso also has a wide covered terrace up front and a great view to the abbey.\r\n<h2>Montefollonico</h2>\r\n<strong>Ristorante Pizzaria il Botteghino</strong> is an established road-house restaurant and pizzeria in Tuscany on the way from Torrita to Pienza, near the town of Montefollonico. Their good and simple cooking is very popular with the locals and delivery truck drivers. This is one of our favorite Tuscan “truck-stops”. We recently had dinner there and it was again superb. For starters, try the marinated anchovy fillets and warm crostini, they can easily be shared. For the pasta course I had the surprisingly light and small gnocchi with gorgonzola sauce, heavenly! This large restaurant is the best place in the area for grilled juicy pork ribs and sausages. They also serve pizza that looked good, but we haven\'t tasted it yet. The helpful waiters speak some English. Large covered outdoor dining areas. Closed on Tuesdays. Last visit May 2017. Located along the SP15 at a fork in the road. Address: 25, Loc. Osteria Delle Noci - 53049 Torrita di Siena (SI). 0577-668-031. ($)\r\n\r\n<strong>La Chiusa</strong> is<strong> </strong>another famous restaurant we stay away from. Go instead to La Grotta or Locanda dell\'Amorosa or Mondo X La Frateria for good fine dining in this region.\r\n<h2>Montepulciano</h2>\r\n<strong>Osteria Acquacheta</strong> is a special place among the many good places to eat in Montepulciano. Prices are low for such tasty food, like 6 euros for a plate of fresh pasta al ragu. Standard menu and the daily menu are both worth looking thru. Lots of choices but the reason many come here is the big thick steak the owner chops off and brings to show for your approval before cooking it on the wood burning BBQ you see ablaze way back in the kitchen. They have very decent local wine, but also courage you to bring your own special bottle. They will charge 1.5 euros per person as corkage. They serve wine in simple glasses. This is a long and narrow space crammed with tables and chairs and sometimes you share a long communal table and be served some of the best local food.\r\n\r\nPici and several other pastas and soup are made with pure homespun goodness, all local stuff. The big Fiorentina steak dominates the long list of mains, and would be a meat-lover\'s dream come true (shared with 2 or more people). Grilled pigeon, rabbit, pork, sausages … deer, duck, salt-cod, truffles, baked cheese … and the excellent choice of many greens and vegetables. Giulio, the owner is a famously grumpy-looking guy, but has a sense of humor and speaks English. Some customers don’t get it, so their reviews can be mixed. Take my word for it, Acquacheta is an excellent place for a hearty and delicious meal that doesn\'t break the budget. Closed on Tuesdays and 3 months in winter. Our last visit August 2017. Just down from Piazza Grande, past Teatro Poliziano. Via del Teatro, 22 - 53045 Montepulciano (SI), Tel:+39 0578 717086,  Fax:+39 0578 717086, call or fax, no bookings by email.\r\n\r\n<strong>La Grotta</strong> is a gem, you should definitely come here for fine dining in <em>Montepulciano</em>.  This is the most pleasant restaurant with excellent cooking and courteous professional service. It’s the perfect place to enjoy the splendid Vino Nobile wines with your lunch or dinner. Seasonal ingredients feature truffles, porcini mushrooms, and game. We like them for their delicate hand made pasta and the chef who cooks the best rack of lamb for the main course. Delicious deserts, too. Some people think this is too posh or costly, but we find it very comfortable and perhaps only little higher than prices at your usually trattoria. And the quality of food at <em>La Grotta</em> is superb making this an excellent choice for a special meal. I recommend the 6 course tasting menu at only 53 euros, with 2 people minimum order.\r\n\r\nThe 2 vaulted dining rooms are spacious and tables are placed far apart to allow for easy movement and privacy. They also have outside dining in a lovely garden setting, recently expanded. This can be a wonderfully romantic place in the evenings with candle light. Be sure to make a reservation for the outside tables. Easy parking in front. Last visit in May 2017. Closed on Wednesdays. Next to the <em>San Biagio</em> church that was designed by <em>Sangallo</em>, below the town on the west side.

Ask for a table on the terrace with panoramic views. Last visit in May 2016. Closed on Thursdays. Small restaurant, best to make a reservations. English spoken by Daria, the wonderful owner. Located at the town gate. 0578-755-163. www.osterialaporta.it/osteria.en.php ($$)*\r\n<h2>Palazzone</h2>\r\n<strong>Ristorante il Pozzo</strong>, has been a good local restaurant over the years, but changes hands often and is open during the warm months only. If you are renting a villa in the area, look this up first, but if closed, you can walk to the pizzeria down the road for a simple meal.\r\n<h2>Piazze</h2>\r\n<strong>La Bottega delle Nane</strong>, excellent cooking and we like it. Some of the best food in the area, lots of daily and seasonal specials. Two problems are (1) no written menu for the daily specials - they tell you what\'s available, the waiter speaks some English. (2) No house wines by the glass, only full bottles – but the local Monte Cetona area wines are not expensive. Closed Thursdays. Via Provinciale 187, town center. Tel: 0578-244-295. ($$)*\r\n\r\n<strong>Ristorante - Pizzeria La Vigna</strong>, good local cooking, outdoor seating in the back. Run by a charming elderly couple, a traditional place where you\'ll eat very well.

Friendly service by owners Roberto and Enrica, she\'s now cooking with her mother in the kitchen. Closed Tuesdays and usually the month of July (this year they go up to the Alps for cooler weather!). Very, very nice outside dining in front, but you need to reserve table well in advance. They take a summer holiday and close for the month of July. Please verify exact dates in 2017.  Via San Carlo 2, east end of main street, just inside the gate. 0578-748-606. ($)*\r\n\r\n<strong>Ristorante del Falco</strong>, for a good Tuscan meal, you should try this established local restaurant, we always eat well here. On our last visit in October 2013 we had good homemade pasta, grilled lamb chops, and delicious desserts. Outdoor tables in the front courtyard. This classic local restaurant does not rate highly in Pienza, but it\'s because they have not changed their traditional ways just to appeal to the modern tourist trade. Service is quick and friendly, English spoken. If you are tired of the limited fare at the many wine-bars in Pienza, come here for a proper meal. Closed Fridays. Piazza Dante Alighieri 7, on main road next to the park, just outside of the old town. Tel: 0578-748-551.

Tel: 0577-897-541. www.trattoriaosenna.com/ ($$)\r\n\r\n<strong>Osteria del Cardinale</strong> took this spot on the main street few years ago from il Tinaio. This is an excellent restaurant serving high quality Tuscan food, care is taken in presentation, food is both delicious to taste and attractive on the plate. There\'s a high-vaulted dining room downstairs but we have always sat at the street-side tables. No inexpensive house wines here, only \"fine\" wines so the cost of the meal does go up compared to our usual trattoria dinners.

We discovered this memorable restaurant in June of 2014. It\'s unusual to find excellent seafood this far inland, therefore this restaurant owned by 2 Neapolitan brothers should get every seafood lover\'s attention. The shellfish was superb, featured first on the antipasto that we shared as a starter. It had fresh cold octopus salad and several types of cured fish and as soon we finished it, out came the surprise 2nd part; a bowl of steaming clams and mussels! The pasta course was predetermined since we are dedicated to spaghetti alle vongole, and sure enough, sweet and delicious tiny clams piled high on top of hot pasta was a treat to all senses. We even had the main course that was one bite too much for lunch! But the grilled and lightly fried mixed seafood platter was a good way to further explore the menu. The house white wine was perfect and inexpensive, and the whole meal with mineral water and coffee came to about 45 euros a head. Really good value for such high quality food. Service was friendly and efficient, menu has English translation, the setting was most pleasant in one of their two well furnished dining rooms.

The restaurants where you should make reservations are noted with *. During the summer call at least one day in advance for dinner (<em>cena</em>) reservations (<em>pre-notazione</em>). Kitchen is typically open for lunch from 12:30 to about 2:00 pm, for dinner: 7:30 - 9:30 pm, and later on weekends.\r\n\r\nIn restaurants, pizza is served at dinner only. During the day, buy pizza by the slice from the snack-bars in towns. House wine is always good. If you’re a couple, ask for <em>mezzo litro di rosso</em> = half a litre of red in a carafe, works out to 4 servings. Most restaurants now only have bottled wines. Craft beer is now available and made by small local breweries. No smoking inside, but at outside tables, please ask your waiter if okay to <em>fumare</em>, then ask for the <em>porta cenere</em> = the ashtray. Some restaurants still don\'t take credit cards so bring enough cash. <em>Buon appetito!</em>\r\n\r\nHere are few sentences in Italian to help you book a table:<em>   </em>\r\n\r\n<em>Vorrei prenotare per la cena domani sera, due persone, il nome è Smith </em>= I would like to make a reservation for dinner tomorrow evening, 2 people, name is Smith.\r\n\r\n<em>Vorrei prenotare per il pranzo oggi, quatro persone, il nome è  Jones </em>= I would like to make a reservation for lunch today, 4 people, name is Jones.\r\n\r\n<em>Preferisco una tavola fuori</em> = I prefer a table outside, <em>dentro</em> = inside\r\n\r\n$ = moderate, $$ = mid-range, $$$ = costly\r\n<h2>Acquaviva di Montepulciano</h2>\r\n<strong>Ristorante l\'Angolo</strong>, serves classic Tuscan cuisine in a pleasant restaurant with good service. Go for lunch while touring the Vino Nobile vineyards. They now have 2 sides to this place, the established restaurant and at the adjacent refurbished room is a modern fusion style new restaurant. Have a look at the different menus, share an antipasto plate, and taste the home made long pasta called \"pici\".

Il Loggiato more of a wine-bar and a tavern, than a restaurant, so you don\'t have to follow any rules of formal dining. In summer the best tables are outside shaded by big umbrellas, while in the winter the inside bar and dining area are downstairs. There you\'ll find 2 dining rooms with rustic brick walls and cozy atmosphere. Very informal menu of bruschettas, cheese plates and other light meals and snacks, but also soups and meat dishes at reasonable prices.

This is a tourist hot-spot where the food scene is constantly changing and also the staff and management have high turnover.

The charming Daniella runs the dining room while her brother is the chef, cooking traditional items such as the excellent lasagne I had, and also familiar treats for tourists, like hamburgers. This is a great place for groups, because there\'s a lot of space indoors, plus 2 long picnic tables with umbrellas outside.

Currently (May 2017) the best value (quality/price) restaurant in the Orcia Valley and Amiata areas of southern Tuscany. You reach sublime heights of culinary nirvana with Chef Rita’s fresh melt-in-your-mouth pasta with delicious sauce of truffle-walnut cream or porcini mushrooms, to-die-for! Tortelli can be had with the best ragu. My choice is the little <em>gnocchetti verdi al gorgonzola</em>. In warm weather we have leisurely lunches under shade on the wide panoramic terrace with platters of antipasti, and in the late fall dinners by the fireplace inside the well furnished large restaurant. Game is also on the menu, and their tender steaks of Chianina beef are cooked over hot coals, but leave some room for dessert too (sharing is okay). Your charming host, Andrea, takes good care of you while Rita is an amazing chef. The prices are lower than one would expect and the atmosphere is most welcoming.\r\n\r\nFrom Pienza in the Orcia valley take the route SS2, the Via Cassia, just south of Bango Vignoni, drive up to Castiglion d’Orcia and keeping to the main road, drive past town and continue another 4 km along route SS323, at fork turn left toward Vivo d’Orcia (route SP18).

Osteria Vecchia is now simply known as \"da Nilo\" (at Nilo\'s), after the owner himself. This is still the same beloved local favorite. Menu has fresh seasonal and regional dishes, superb homemade pastas, delicious food and great value for money. We last had lunch there in June 2016, the ravioli and the lamb chops just delicious, and the pici aglione had the more intense garlic flavor that I crave for! Closed Tuesdays in low season only. Seating outside on the terrace to the right of the main entry (best place for views over the piazza), and more tables al fresco around at the back of the restaurant. Inside is a classy dining room.

Gary and I had a memorable lunch here on 18 June 2014. It\'s rare to have excellent seafood this far inland, so this restaurant owned by 2 Neapolitan brothers should get every seafood lover\'s attention. The shellfish was superb, featured firstly on the antipasto platter that we shared as a starter. It had fresh cold octopus salad and several types of cured fish and as soon we finished it, out came the surprise 2nd part; a bowl of steaming clams and mussels! The pasta course was predetermined since we are dedicated to spaghetti alle vongole, and sure enough, sweet and delicious clams piled high on top of hot pasta was a treat to all senses. We even had the main course which was perhaps a bit too much food at lunch, but could not resist tasting their grilled and lightly fried mixed seafood platters, to further explore the menu. House white wine was perfect and inexpensive, and the whole meal with mineral water and coffees came to about 45 euros a head. Really good value for such high quality food. Service was friendly and efficient, menu has English translation, the setting was most pleasant in one of their two well furnished dining rooms. There\'s parking up front and down the side street.

Now I\'m talking about hospitality. Our recent meal (May 2015)  in Chiusi was in the center of the old town, at Osteria Etrusca. Hospitality here is like magic; the charm, warmth and kindness of the owners, father and daughter, is beyond comparison. They both speak English. We sat at a covered outside table watching the street scene at the end of the day, and agreed that this is why we love Italy! The food is classic local fare, our group of 6 ordered pizzas, pastas, steak and salads ... all delicious and very affordably priced. Here you\'re not just a tourist.

Bring everyone with you, this is a great place for kids, too! 4 people can eat for 50 euros total, and the pizza is superb. I often \'splurge\' and order the Antipasto Goloso and the Pizza Pazza. The mixed grill of pork is also good, as are the pastas for those who are tired of pizza already. The charming ladies, Giovanna and Adriana, will look after you! I want to give you a tip, hold onto your fork and knife, you don\'t get new ones for every dish at these prices! Order wine by the half liter or the full liter carafe and try the new artisan beers .... pizza is still tastes best with a beer. The covered terrace has panoramic views over Siena Province and you see the huge Monte Oliveto Abbey illuminated down the valley in the evenings. During the summer you need to call (+39) 0577 707103 for reservations on the splendid terrace. Plenty of easy parking along the road.  By the way, I live in this village.

Stop here when driving to San Gimignano or Volterra. Food is elevated to a fine art, service is professional, dining room is comfortable and smart casual dressing would be appropriate. Closed every Tuesday and Wednesday. Via XX Settembre 50, center of the upper old town. 0577-920-549 www.arnolfo.com/ ($$$)*\r\n<h2>La Foce</h2>\r\n<strong>Ristorante Dopolavoro</strong> re-opened at La Foce a few years ago, and now it\'s a spacious open barn-like restaurant and a recommended stop while touring the Val d’Orcia region. Come here for delicious food in a relaxing outdoor or indoor setting, with friendly service and English spoken. They are open all day and the location is next to the famous Origo villa and gardens, making this the perfect place for lunch before taking the guided garden tour at La Foce on the weekends and Wednesday afternoons; the tours start at 3, 4, 5 and 6 pm.\r\n\r\nLast time we had a group of 6 for lunch here in June of 2017. We opted for a lighter meal and shared several plates of different cold cuts, cheeses and salads. Their menu offers the usual Tuscan fare with many good starters and pastas, while the mains include stews, kebabs, BBQ ribs and steaks. Here\'s a nice surprise, they also offer a juicy hamburger and fries, with mayo and ketchup!! This hamburger is what we\'d expect in the English speaking world, with a beef patty inside a bun plus extras like bacon &amp; cheese.  You should keep this in mind, as many restaurants have a \"hamburger\" on the menu, but it\'s only a plain ground up steak, no bun or anything else, and barely cooked, more like a steak tartar. Get your real burger here, Dopolavoro has got it right! Strada della Vittoria, 90, La Foce (SI) – Tel: 0578-754-025 www.dopolavorolafoce.it\r\n<h2>Lucignano d\'Arbia</h2>\r\n<strong>Valserena</strong> is a local trattoria halfway between Siena and Buonconvento at Lucignano d\'Arbia. Valserena is a neighborhood restaurant with a basic traditional menu, but it\'s definitely the best simple eatery in this valley and visited by the locals for their grilled meats. Great atmosphere, loud conversations, and everybody seems to know everybody. Come here for a good evening with absolutely authentic and really inexpensive food, drinkable house wine, and very friendly, relaxed atmosphere. We have feasted on their delicious spare ribs and gnocchi with pesto. Pizza is also cooked in the evenings. Don\'t miss this experience! Open for lunch and dinner, closed on Wednesdays. The restaurant is perched on a hill west of the Via Cassia, about 9 km north from Buonconvento, and 1 km south of Lucignano d\'Arbia. <span class=\"format_address\"><span class=\"street-address\">Via Cassia Sud, 2858</span>, <span class=\"locality\">53014, Monteroni d\'Arbia.

Set inside the town walls, this is an eatery of high quality, both in food and service. The menu created by Chef Susanna is loaded with seasonal food, including, a surprisingly large selection of vegan and vegetarian dishes! I love the marvelous mixed antipasto platter of tasty treats. From the street the restaurant looks small, but expands side, and in fine weather, ask to be seated out the back on the veranda, as the view across the Tuscan countryside is wonderful. On main street of old town at: Via Matteotti, 90, 52046 Lucignano. 0575.836707 ($$)*\r\n<h2>Montalcino</h2>\r\n<strong>Taverna del Grappolo Blu</strong>, our last visit back in 2008 was a pleasure, and I hear that it’s still serving rich and tasty home made pastas on pretty plates, excellent guinea foul, half-bottles of house red at great value. Warm and cozy interior in rustic building, friendly service, English spoken. Located right off the main street (Via Mazzini) near town-hall piazza, a few steps down the side alley Scala di Moglio, look for the signs. Open every day. 0577-847-150 ($$)*\r\n\r\n<strong>Boccon di Vino</strong> and <strong>Taverna dei Barbi</strong> are 2 well known restaurants, but we stay away, so please let me know if you go and how it was!\r\n<h2>Monte Oliveto Maggiore Abbey</h2>\r\n<strong>R</strong><strong>istorante San Valentino</strong> is part of the Piccolo Hotel San Valentino just 2 miles from the Abbey towards Buonconvento. From the road you drive up and around the back for parking. There\'s a covered terrace that\'s good for lunch, and inside a large dining room but step thru to the wide open garden patio for dining outside in the warm season. The cook\'s name is Gigliola and she\'s a pro in preparing the classic Tuscan menu with a very nice touch. In the summer you should try her panzanella and burrata ravioli, with good local wines and of course always ask about the specials! It\'s very romantic there on the patio and garden at sunset! Address: SP451, 53041 San Valentino, Asciano SI, Italy, (<a class=\"fl r-iv_1cnswcDxc\" title=\"Call via Hangouts\" data-number=\"+390577707153\" data-rtid=\"iv_1cnswcDxc\" data-ved=\"0CJ0BEJAIKAEwDw\">+39) 0577 707153</a> ($$)\r\n\r\n<strong>Ristorante La Torre</strong> at the Abbey serves good food outside on the large covered terrace, but is often busy with tour groups. Closed Tuesdays. Enjoy lunch on the terrace when visiting the famous abbey. 0577-707-022. ($$)*\r\n\r\nUp 1 km from the abbey in <strong>Chiusure</strong> is an excellent pizzeria <strong>Ristorante La Terrazza</strong> serving classic meals on the north side of the village with panoramic views. The <strong>Osteria il Paradiso</strong>   inside the village offers a classic simple menu of summertime food of cold starters, hot soups and pastas at fair prices. Paradiso also has a wide covered terrace up front and a great view to the abbey.\r\n<h2>Montefollonico</h2>\r\n<strong>Ristorante Pizzaria il Botteghino</strong> is an established road-house restaurant and pizzeria in Tuscany on the way from Torrita to Pienza, near the town of Montefollonico. Their good and simple cooking is very popular with the locals and delivery truck drivers. This is one of our favorite Tuscan “truck-stops”. We recently had dinner there and it was again superb. For starters, try the marinated anchovy fillets and warm crostini, they can easily be shared. For the pasta course I had the surprisingly light and small gnocchi with gorgonzola sauce, heavenly! This large restaurant is the best place in the area for grilled juicy pork ribs and sausages. They also serve pizza that looked good, but we haven\'t tasted it yet. The helpful waiters speak some English. Large covered outdoor dining areas. Closed on Tuesdays. Last visit May 2017. Located along the SP15 at a fork in the road. Address: 25, Loc. Osteria Delle Noci - 53049 Torrita di Siena (SI). 0577-668-031. ($)\r\n\r\n<strong>La Chiusa</strong> is<strong> </strong>another famous restaurant we stay away from. Go instead to La Grotta or Locanda dell\'Amorosa or Mondo X La Frateria for good fine dining in this region.\r\n<h2>Montepulciano</h2>\r\n<strong>Osteria Acquacheta</strong> is a special place among the many good places to eat in Montepulciano. Prices are low for such tasty food, like 6 euros for a plate of fresh pasta al ragu. Standard menu and the daily menu are both worth looking thru. Lots of choices but the reason many come here is the big thick steak the owner chops off and brings to show for your approval before cooking it on the wood burning BBQ you see ablaze way back in the kitchen. They have very decent local wine, but also courage you to bring your own special bottle. They will charge 1.5 euros per person as corkage. They serve wine in simple glasses. This is a long and narrow space crammed with tables and chairs and sometimes you share a long communal table and be served some of the best local food.\r\n\r\nPici and several other pastas and soup are made with pure homespun goodness, all local stuff. The big Fiorentina steak dominates the long list of mains, and would be a meat-lover\'s dream come true (shared with 2 or more people). Grilled pigeon, rabbit, pork, sausages … deer, duck, salt-cod, truffles, baked cheese … and the excellent choice of many greens and vegetables. Giulio, the owner is a famously grumpy-looking guy, but has a sense of humor and speaks English. Some customers don’t get it, so their reviews can be mixed. Take my word for it, Acquacheta is an excellent place for a hearty and delicious meal that doesn\'t break the budget. Closed on Tuesdays and 3 months in winter. Our last visit August 2017. Just down from Piazza Grande, past Teatro Poliziano. Via del Teatro, 22 - 53045 Montepulciano (SI), Tel:+39 0578 717086,  Fax:+39 0578 717086, call or fax, no bookings by email.\r\n\r\n<strong>La Grotta</strong> is a gem, you should definitely come here for fine dining in <em>Montepulciano</em>.  This is the most pleasant restaurant with excellent cooking and courteous professional service. It’s the perfect place to enjoy the splendid Vino Nobile wines with your lunch or dinner. Seasonal ingredients feature truffles, porcini mushrooms, and game. We like them for their delicate hand made pasta and the chef who cooks the best rack of lamb for the main course. Delicious deserts, too. Some people think this is too posh or costly, but we find it very comfortable and perhaps only little higher than prices at your usually trattoria. And the quality of food at <em>La Grotta</em> is superb making this an excellent choice for a special meal. I recommend the 6 course tasting menu at only 53 euros, with 2 people minimum order.\r\n\r\nThe 2 vaulted dining rooms are spacious and tables are placed far apart to allow for easy movement and privacy. They also have outside dining in a lovely garden setting, recently expanded. This can be a wonderfully romantic place in the evenings with candle light. Be sure to make a reservation for the outside tables. Easy parking in front. Last visit in May 2017. Closed on Wednesdays. Next to the <em>San Biagio</em> church that was designed by <em>Sangallo</em>, below the town on the west side.

Ask for a table on the terrace with panoramic views. Last visit in May 2016. Closed on Thursdays. Small restaurant, best to make a reservations. English spoken by Daria, the wonderful owner. Located at the town gate. 0578-755-163. www.osterialaporta.it/osteria.en.php ($$)*\r\n<h2>Palazzone</h2>\r\n<strong>Ristorante il Pozzo</strong>, has been a good local restaurant over the years, but changes hands often and is open during the warm months only. If you are renting a villa in the area, look this up first, but if closed, you can walk to the pizzeria down the road for a simple meal.\r\n<h2>Piazze</h2>\r\n<strong>La Bottega delle Nane</strong>, excellent cooking and we like it. Some of the best food in the area, lots of daily and seasonal specials. Two problems are (1) no written menu for the daily specials - they tell you what\'s available, the waiter speaks some English. (2) No house wines by the glass, only full bottles – but the local Monte Cetona area wines are not expensive. Closed Thursdays. Via Provinciale 187, town center. Tel: 0578-244-295. ($$)*\r\n\r\n<strong>Ristorante - Pizzeria La Vigna</strong>, good local cooking, outdoor seating in the back. Run by a charming elderly couple, a traditional place where you\'ll eat very well.

Friendly service by owners Roberto and Enrica, she\'s now cooking with her mother in the kitchen. Closed Tuesdays and usually the month of July (this year they go up to the Alps for cooler weather!). Very, very nice outside dining in front, but you need to reserve table well in advance. They take a summer holiday and close for the month of July. Please verify exact dates in 2017.  Via San Carlo 2, east end of main street, just inside the gate. 0578-748-606. ($)*\r\n\r\n<strong>Ristorante del Falco</strong>, for a good Tuscan meal, you should try this established local restaurant, we always eat well here. On our last visit in October 2013 we had good homemade pasta, grilled lamb chops, and delicious desserts. Outdoor tables in the front courtyard. This classic local restaurant does not rate highly in Pienza, but it\'s because they have not changed their traditional ways just to appeal to the modern tourist trade. Service is quick and friendly, English spoken. If you are tired of the limited fare at the many wine-bars in Pienza, come here for a proper meal. Closed Fridays. Piazza Dante Alighieri 7, on main road next to the park, just outside of the old town. Tel: 0578-748-551.

Tel: 0577-897-541. www.trattoriaosenna.com/ ($$)\r\n\r\n<strong>Osteria del Cardinale</strong> took this spot on the main street few years ago from il Tinaio. This is an excellent restaurant serving high quality Tuscan food, care is taken in presentation, food is both delicious to taste and attractive on the plate. There\'s a high-vaulted dining room downstairs but we have always sat at the street-side tables. No inexpensive house wines here, only \"fine\" wines so the cost of the meal does go up compared to our usual trattoria dinners. ($$$) Via Dante Alighieri n.35/A Tel. 0577-899-945 www.osteriadelcardinale.it\r\n\r\n<strong>Ristorante il Garibaldi</strong>, (Il Garibaldi on Facebook) is one of our favorite road-house truck-stops and after a brief closure has re-opened with new management and remodeling.

The Orcia Valley and the town of Pienza are both UNESCO world heritage areas, while Pienza is also visible from the villa. Pienza has a unique renaissance town plan and a magnificent palace built for the Pope Pius II, who was born here. This town was his summer residence in the 1460\'s. The pretty hill town of Monticchiello is close to Manafiore, just 1 mile and a half away. Strong walls and towers are survivors of all the events during centuries. In this village are 3 restaurants and a cafe, also a small grocer, ATM and a few shops.\r\n<h2>5 Bedroom Interiors at Manafiore</h2>\r\nThe ground floor of Villa Manafiore wraps around a large L-shaped sitting room with working fire-place, sofas and arm chairs.

Chaise lounges line along the poolside and at the end of the pool is another pergola-covered dining area with a round table. You can also heat the pool water, but with extra cost.\r\n<h2>History of Villa Manafiore Tuscany</h2>\r\nThe origins of this structure go back to the 9th century; over a thousand year ago. Manafiore was built as a watch tower to overlook the pilgrim roads down the valley. This tower grew over the centuries with buildings added on, and still by the 1950\'s it probably housed several farming families. Then the building remained empty for a few decades. It had turned into a ruin, until 1989 when the current owner finally rescued it.

Criminals steal our card details by attaching an illegal reader into the credit card slot at a gas pump. When you swipe or insert your card, this reader copies the information from the magnetic strip on your card. But how can you protect yourself? Here are a few ways.\r\n<h3>Pay inside the station house with cash or credit card - not at the pump</h3>\r\nThere is less chance criminals place card skimmers in the gas pumps just in front of the gas station or convenience store. However, it takes only a few seconds to place a skimmer on a card reader, <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5b1axnNK-wI\">as this video shows</a>, if a clerk is distracted\r\n<h3>Choose the pump closest to the building</h3>\r\nThe pumps furthest away from the station house are most likely to have skimmers. Avoid especially the pumps not visible from inside the station house or convenience store.\r\n<h3>When you pay, use credit cards, not debit cards</h3>\r\nThe big benefit with credit cards is that you are using the bank\'s money, and are covered by a zero liability policy with most banks. But with a debit card, and if the crooks see your PIN, they would get to your own money, not the bank\'s. You can still get refunded from skimmed debit cards, but this can take a lot of time and effort.\r\n<h3>Pay safely by using your phone app and digital wallet</h3>\r\nYou can defeat the gas pump skimmers with payment apps. Pay by phone if you have Apple Pay, Android Pay, Samsung Pay or a mobile wallet. By using your phone at gas stations, you never swipe or insert your card into the payment reader that could contain a skimmer. What happens is that your phone should automatically sense the presence of the terminal and open the Wallet app. Here\'s more about <a href=\"https://blogs.creditcards.com/2018/05/defeat-gas-pump-skimmers-with-payment-apps.php\">payment apps</a>.\r\n<h3>Check your card statement and fraud alerts</h3>\r\nEvery issuer offers fraud alerts on your credit and debit cards. Set these up and they will email or text you when your card is used at a gas station. You should  frequently check your credit card and debit card transactions to make sure no fraudulent activity has occurred.\r\n\r\n<strong>See related:</strong>', 'Avoid skimmers at gas stations', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'avoid-skimmers-at-gas-stations', '', '', '2019-06-27 01:34:34', '2019-06-26 15:34:34', '', 0, 'https://tuscanhouse.com/?p=8046', 0, 'post', '', 2),
