We've enjoyed staying in Relais San Bruno twice which is just minutes away from Montepulciano...and very close to Pienza and Montalcino. We've always stayed in 'Snow White's House' when we have stayed there.

These all look fantastic. Thanks cydiann for raising this topic! Quick question to bob and the capt-do you know if some of these places have wi-fi. We are thinking of spending a month in Italy but will be working part time via wi-fi. Any idea if any of these places have it?
|
Not sure about Relais San Bruno..it was recently renovated, so you could email directly to ask.
cheers, CC |
Most will but you really need to ask or look on the sites.
The small rural places amy not--just ask. |
Now I want to go back to Italy.

In Pienza there is a small hotel,Piccolo de la Valle, that is owned by a very friendly local family. It has parking and is on the side of the village, so you can walk easily. The view is the perfect Tuscan picture. Only drawback is that the rooms are small.
