my husband and i are staying in pienza for one night on our way to florence from Rome. we will be staying at the Piccolo Hotel La Valle just outside of the old town. This is our first trip to italy and we are relying on public transportation. My problem is i can't find any websites for the local buses. All i know is we need to take a train from rome to the chiusi station. How do i get to pienza from there? Do i take buses or a taxi? How many km is it from Chiusi? how much would a taxi cost?

From there how do i get to florence? Do i go back to Chiusi and take a train from there or is there a more efficient route.

I am desperate. i have ben searching for a week on the internet trying to figure this one out.

THank you

You have a very specific question - but your title doesn't help much. "how do i get there---I'm desperate" could be asking anything about anywhere in Europe.

Try re-posting w/ something like "How can we transfer from Chiusi to Pienza?"

jcluc,

My suggestion is to email the hotel and ask them the best way to reach them. They are well aware of bus lines and can tell you exactly how to get there. I found this info below but it is from the Florence train station:

The closest train station to Pienza is probably Montepulciano (14 km)while Chiusi is about 40 km. There is a bus connecting Montepulciano to Pienza but it runs only one a day

A taxi from Montepulciano is probably the best solution unless your hotel can arrange something for you.
