Practical information
Keep in mind there are NO taxis in the area, nor Uber like services. Borgo Stomennano suggests that guests be made aware of this and rent cars.
On the 27th the Wedding celebration day we will run a pickup and drop off service for the three suggested places on the accommodations list, so you do not have to drive.

USEFUL INFORMATION FOR THE AREA AROUND STOMENNANO - MONTERIGGIONI
Taxis
There are no taxis in the Monteriggioni area. The closest town with taxis is Siena, which is about 20 min away. Siena taxis are not always willing to come to Monteriggioni, and if they do, they will charge you also for the drive from Siena to Monteriggioni, which is about €25-€30. So it wouldn’t make sense to call a Siena taxi to take you just a few miles in the Monteriggioni area. If you do need a taxi it is a good idea to book in advance through Siena Taxi. The difficulty in finding taxis is why it is highly advisable to have a rental car.
Getting Fuel
Most gas stations have attendants from 8 am to 12:30 pm and then from 3:30 to 7:30 pm, Monday to Saturday. Usually when the attendant is there you simply fuel up your car and then pay the attendant by cash or card.
Most stations also have a self-service option, but there will be one machine per row of pumps (you don’t pay at the pump). You insert your money and then select the right pump number. These machines do not always accept foreign-issued debit or credit cards and so you should be prepared to pay in cash. Be careful to not put too much money in as they do not give change! You also only have a few minutes to start fueling after payment so make sure you’ve got everything ready and know how to open the tank before. Should you have a problem and not get the fuel, or pay for more than what fits in your tank, the payment machine will issue a paper receipt that you can take back to the station during opening hours for a refund.
