Itinerary

1

Montepulciano

Leave in the morning directly from your hotel and in less than 2 hours reach the characteristic town of Montepulciano. Built in 1500 along a narrow ridge of limestone, known all over the world for its imposing Renaissance palaces, for the elegant beauty of its churches and mostly for the Vino Nobile, one of the most appreciated Tuscan wines all over the world. Free time for visits.

2

Pienza

In late morning through wonderful landscapes, reach another pearl of the Val d’ Orcia area: the ancient Pienza. This is one of the most beautiful Tuscan towns, rare example of Renaissance architecture brought to completion. Considered for long time the ‘ideal city’, and birthplace of Pope Pius II, it represents today one of the practical ways through which during Renaissance men tried to create an ideal model of life and government on earth. Free time for lunch and visits.

3

Montalcino 564

In early afternoon we’ll continue to reach the last town of the day: Montalcino, famous throughout the world especially for the origin of one of the finest wines in the world: Brunello di Montalcino. Perched on a hill on which the mighty fourteenth century fortress rises still today. Free time for visits and (why not?) for a glass of the famous Brunello wine!. Return to your accommodation in the late afternoon with full bellies, a happy heart and great memories…
