The Sienese Countryside

Program 4

To the south of Siena lies one of the most enchanting areas of Tuscany. We offer 2 days among the ochre coloured hills, enjoying the silence of Monte Uliveto Abbey, the towns of Pienza, jewel of the Renaissance, and Montepulciano. Staying overnight in the solitude of a monastery is a unique experience and we have reserved some monks' cells so you can try it. This weekend is for those who are not only looking for views and culture but who also love traditional cooking. You will be able to sample some typical dishes of this region, perhaps with a glass of Nobile, the world-famous wine from Montepulciano. Departure is at 8.00 am Saturday, returning at around 10.00 pm Sunday. A knowledge of Italian is not necessary.
