Stay was comfortable, wonderful historic area in this hilltop town, which was busy but not hectic. Room looked out over the western panorama. Proprieter, Gabriella, is onsite half the time, but can be reached by phone. Room 6 has a terrace. Good food nearby, very pleasant, inexpensive wine bar just 100 feet away, on Piazza San Francesco, with stunning views of the sunset. Self serve laundry across the street. Very close to several hilltowns, notably Pienza, and Monticchello, where there is an excellent restaurant, Osteria La Porta, but you must make reservations, also at Osteria dell'Aquacheta in Montepulciano, which is a must for traditional steak dinner. Wineries and tasting abound. It is a short drive to the beautiful Focce Gardens, with a fascinating history, well worth the trip.
