The Poggio del Drago Localita Poggio del Drago 18, near Ponticino on the SR69 (www.poggiodeldrago.it; tel. 331-549-8767), is a gorgeous country house just 9km (5 1/2 miles) from the city, offering simple but spotless rooms with flatscreen TVs, free Wi-Fi, a swimming pool, and communal breakfast. Large groups should consider Casa Pippo Lignano 6, (www.casapippo.it; tel. 0575-365-555), an enchanting stone-built agriturismo overlooking the city, with room for at least eight people.
