Heaven for any wine lover, this beautiful medieval hill town is surrounded by breathtaking views of the vineyards that produce its famous vino nobile. In addition to its liquid delights, Montepulciano’s winding streets are bursting with Renaissance buildings, stunning churches and charming piazzas.
Surrounded by the hills of the Val d’Orcia, the lovely walled renaissance town of Pienza is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Constructed in the 1450s, the small town has remained practically unchanged over the centuries and is known for its pecorino cheese.
The capital of the Maremma region of southern Tuscany, charming Grosseto is around 14 kilometres from the coast. The city is filled with medieval architectural gems and surrounded by defensive brick walls.
With blue sea on one side and green hills on the other, the historic seaside town of Castiglione della Pescaia is a particularly scenic part of Tuscany with its pretty seafront and medieval fortress overlooking the sea.
Stunning Siena is the embodiment of a beautiful Gothic city. Siena’s maze of medieval streets snake away from its central piazza, which fans out like a scallop shell; its dramatic cathedral wears its eyecatching stripes boldly both inside and out, and at every twist and turn towers soar into the skies. Despite having an incredible collection of unmissable art works within these ancient walls, Siena is no museum: this vibrant city buzzes with characterful restaurants, divine pastry shops and colourful boutiques.
