Il Piastrino—a Jewel in Vinci
We needed a place to stay in or near Vinci for the night before our 3 week stay in a nearby villa began. Il Piastrino looked lovely and was VERY well priced. And it was exceptionally nice—from the spacious, charming rooms (surprise—we had a kitchen), the delicious breakfast, to the warm and welcoming staff. We arrived very late toward the end of a busy pris fixe am fresco dinner service but we were settled in and set at ease. And yes, we returned a few days later for the al fresco dining. Wow. There were at least a dozen antipasto platters to Shea, mane ten selections and finally bistecca du Fiorentino. The house wines were excellent—so excellent that we returned three or four times to purchase more and chat in our broken Italian with the owner. I would make a special trip back to Vinci to stay at Il Piastrino. The only drawback—which was a Google maps issue—is that Il Piastrino is a challenge for jet-lagged drivers arriving at midnight to find. It was totally worth being lost to finally find it!
