Route summary

This route offers a range of hotels.  Our standard options include a little B&B in central Siena (sadly often full), a countryside restaurant with great views and excellent rooms, two typical authentic Italian ones, a little one at the edge of Pienza old town with fantastic views, and a really quirky one in Montepulciano with rooftop breakfast terrace. Upgrades can include smart international (Montalcino), romantic (Bagno Vignoni), a former monastery (Pienza) and an ultra-smart pension (Montepulciano).  Take your pick!
