Meet B&R host Carlo for a short introduction to Pienza, the Renaissance hill town envisioned by Pope Pius II. Stretch your legs along the Path of Art and Soul, where contemporary sculptures frame sweeping views of the Val d’Orcia. Or follow a scenic loop past the quiet church of Pieve di Corsignano and along the cinematic countryside roads featured in The Gladiator.

Set out from your hotel for a scenic walk through the Val d’Orcia, heading toward the hilltop hamlet of Monticchiello—a perfect stop for coffee. Continue through vineyards and wheat fields to the Renaissance temple of San Biagio, then climb into Montepulciano, where lively piazzas and wine bars make an ideal lunch stop.

Tonight, head to a nearby restaurant or pizzeria for a lively local dinner.

Begin with a short transfer into the Val di Chiana, then set out on a peaceful walk through fields of poppies and sunflowers toward the hermitage of Le Celle, where St. Francis once lived.

Continue through olive groves to the hill town of Cortona, where artisan shops and cafés make a perfect lunch stop. For sweeping views, opt for a walk up to the Medici-era Girifalco Fortress. Finish the day savouring Cortona’s culinary delights.

This morning, our local guide will take you on a walk through Cortona, uncovering its history while taking in views over the valley and Lake Trasimeno.

After lunch in town, follow a gentle downhill walk through the Val d’Esse, passing tobacco fields and quiet country lanes before arriving at Villa di Piazzano along a classic cypress-lined drive.

Set out from the hotel on a rewarding walk up to a ridge overlooking Lake Trasimeno, where sweeping views await. Continue through the tiny hamlet of Sanguineto before reaching Tuoro on the lakeshore, an ideal spot for a relaxed lunch.
