Pienza, a small town in Tuscany, Italy.

Pienza is a village in central Tuscany, Italy, and is also the birthplace of Pope Pius II in the 15th century. It became widely known as the filming location for Romeo and Juliet. In May, you can see the vast green landscapes of the Tuscan farms, while at other times, you can see the tawny farmlands. It is mainly accessed from Florence, but it is difficult to reach by public transportation, so you need to rent a car.

Pienza

Just an hour south of Siena, you'll find this area that might resemble one you've seen in movies like The Gladiator, The English Patient, or Romeo & Juliet. Know as Val d’Orcia, this valley is dense with long, perfect cypress trees roads, and postcard-ish houses on top of too-beautiful-to-be-true hills. Tip: For an amazing stay, book at Podere Terrapille in Pienza! Pienza is probably the most known town here, a lovely medieval center that oversees the whole area and awards you with unforgettable panoramas and memories. The local culinary experience is rich and super yummy. You'll get used to prelacies like cinta senese, pecorino toscano, pici (a type of pasta) or lampredotto. You'll have a hard time picking a restaurant where tasting the genuine Tuscan cuisine, the choice is so vast! Also, where to sleep? Bed and breakfasts and “poderi” are everywhere, most of them are gifted by enchanted views of the surrounding hills. Consider a visit to the close villages of Montepulciano, Bagno Vignoni and San Quirico d’Orcia, as long as insanely beautiful places like Cappella di Vitaleta. A week here will make you feel rejuvenated! #tuscany #italy #italia #travel #valdorcia #awesome #ancienttowns #italytravel #italybeauties #awesomepic
