With its distinguished medieval brick and famous Palio horse races, Siena is one of Italy's gems. Piazza del Campo is the heart of Siena. It's a bell shaped piazza where twice a year the horse races are held for Siena's citizens. You must try their famous almond cookies, Ricciarelli! It's only 30 minutes from the hotel!
Florence! A must see for first timers! You can visit the famous Ponte Vecchio bridge over the Arno River while eating gelato! If you are short on time and feel the need to see some art, we recommend visiting the Ufizzi gallery and Galleria Dell'Accademia where the real statue of David is. Don't be fooled, there's a replica in the Piazza Della Signoria.
Known for it's medieval brick and ancient churches, Montepulciano is a delight to see! Only 45 minutes away from the hotel. It's a quick trip you can squeeze in to try some of their most famous wine!
In the medieval wine cellars of a resort nearby, Castel Monastero, you can have lunch or dinner and revel in traditional Tuscan dishes! This resort was originally a monastery.
