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 quirky one in Montepulciano with rooftop terrace (in season). Upgrades can include smart international (Montalcino), a former monastery (Pienza) and ultra-smart boutique (Montepulciano).  Take your pick!  You might also like to consider Montalcino's Dei Capitani (one of our alternative hotels) and its pool in if booking for July or early September.
