siena v. pienza - where would you stay?
I am traveling to Italy and have four days set aside for either Siena or Pienza. We plan on renting a car and taking day trips, but which would you say is more beautiful and relaxing?

Last Sept, I stayed in Siena for 2 nights and in Pienza for 3 nights. I very much enjoyed both, but particularly loved Pienza. It is very quiet at night, if you like more going on at night, Siena is bigger and might be better. If you want more details, here is my trip report:

You can skip to the Tuscany part if you like!

I much prefer Siena over Pienza. My husband & I have been twice and we're returning this year. If you're traveling with teenagers, however, I think they might prefer Siena. Siena was too large for me, with too many people and didn't have the unique beauty I found in Pienza. The views and relaxing atmosphere of Pienza seeped into my very being. I can't wait to return! Happy travels...
