Like most old houses in Italy, the walls tend to be thick and therefore in Winter , any moist air hitting a cold stone wall will cause condensation to form. You can treat the wall (PVA etc) but that will no cure teh problem. Ventilate well have a de-humidifier going, and try not to create to much steam (cooking/washing etc) in the area. It's a problem most of us suffer from, fortunately the Winters are usually short until the warmer weather arrives. Sorry can't do anything about the rain though...

Whilst you'are in the area why not combine the trip with a visit to Volterra & San Gimignano, probably the two best examples of Tuscan Hill Towns....I guarantee you wont be disappointed.
