After breakfast in the hotel, the first stop is Montepulciano. This town, that stands on a hill opposite Val di Chiana, in an area once inhabited by the Etruscans and the Romans, at a height of six hundred and five metres above sea level, is considered a sixteenth century jewel due to the many excellent pieces of architecture. Montepulciano is famous above all for its Nobile, a red, d.o.c.g. wine, exalted since early days by wine experts. Speaking of which, you can visit one of the wine cellars more often than not made out of the cellars of the Patrician buildings. Once you leave the town you will immediateley see the magnificent Church of San Biagio, and the beutiful green of the field all around is contrasted by the travertine yellow, colours that change tone depending on the season, the weather and, even the time of day. Inside, the shape in the centre is such that the sound can be heard clearly all over the church. Next stop nearby Pienza where you will have lunch in a restaurant. Tour of the city in the afternoon; Pienza, the Renaissance city par excellence. "Born from a thought of love and a dream of beauty", its name comes from its Pope Pio II, who succeeded in having it founded in only four years, thus creating a jewel like no other, an example to everybody of beauty, harmony and architectural perfection.
