macdogmom: trying to plan my trip for the beginning of May. When are you going? We may see you in Montepulciano at Il Riccio! There are also 2 great restaurants there that I can't wait to go back to.

i would take the car directly in rome!

Hi Racer
We have stayed at this lovely apartment twice in the past year. It is just south of Pienza in the Val D'Orcia--surrounded by peaceful scenery and friendly sheep. It would make a great base for the wine regions of southern Tuscany. You would definitely need a car to visit here.
