Pienza

Pienza is beautifully situated in the heart of Val d'Orcia and is considered one of the most stylish small towns in Tuscany. Even upon entering via the winding country roads of the region, it becomes clear why this place is perfect for a leisurely convertible tour along the Tuscan Wine Road: gently rolling hills, expansive fields, and cypress alleys frame the historic town center, which looks as if it has emerged from a Renaissance painting. The old town of Pienza was designed as an ideal city under Pope Pius II and is now part of the UNESCO World Heritage.

Architecture Meets Atmosphere

At the center is the Piazza Pio II with its harmonious ensemble of the cathedral, bishop's palace, and the Palazzo Piccolomini – a prime example of Renaissance architecture of its time. A stroll through the narrow streets leads past lovingly restored houses, small shops offering specialties like Pecorino cheese and typical Tuscan wines, as well as charming cafés overlooking the Val d'Orcia. A particularly rewarding detour is to the viewpoint at the edge of the city wall, from which one can enjoy an unforgettable view of the picturesque landscape – a moment that should not be missed on a convertible tour through Tuscany.

A Lot of Enjoyment and a Sense of Life

Pienza invites you to slow down and indulge in the Italian way of life. Regional delicacies and exquisite wines from the surrounding hills can be discovered in the many trattorias – an ideal pit stop to recharge for the next leg of the journey through the heart of the Tuscan Wine Roads. Those who wish can stay longer and explore the surroundings on foot or on smaller scenic routes that combine driving pleasure with new vistas.

A Takeaway Impression

Pienza impresses not only with its art-historical significance but also with the interplay of architecture, landscape, and zest for life. Particularly for convertible tours, the place offers an unparalleled experience – it is a window into the past and at the same time a glimpse of what makes Tuscany so unique: enjoyment, history, and a grand backdrop.
