Wednesday around Val d’Orcia including Montepulciano and Montalcino

Although beautiful architecture and Catholic cathedrals are everywhere in the whole of Tuscany you can have too much of a good thing!!!

We really came for the landscapes too and so today we travelled slowly through the Val d’Orcia.

We wanted to see the rolling hills and the tall thin cypress trees in lines and curling up the hills. We were very lucky and had many opportunities.

Our regrets are that we see an amazing landscape view but there is nowhere to stop off the road. Nevertheless we had a brilliant day. 

We stopped for 2 coffees and 2 custard filled croissants and it only cost us €6!

Back at our holiday house we had a huge salad and Valpolicella wine.
