Visit Civita de Bagnoreggio from Orvieto. It's close, and really unique. One of the little restaurant places has the best bruschetta pomodoro you'll ever taste.

mowmow Thanks noting that down to look up on my Michelin map that is spread across my dining table.

You're doing an awful lot of back-and-forthing...

Why Bevagna? It's pretty but not, in my opinion, worth going out of your way for.

I'd suggest choosing one of the towns in the Val d'Orcia instead, such as Montalcino or Montepulciano. The SS 146 and SS 222 roads (both of which you could take to get from Montepulciano to San Gimignano) are among the loveliest scenic drives in Italy.

Zerlina Thanks we are checking distances on the map. We thinking of visiting Assisi so seeing some more of Umbria.
