Year round you’ll find a treasure trove of activities, art, history and culture along with unique events, concerts, theatre, hiking and more. As well as amazing restaurants offering delicious cuisine, boutique wineries and spas either in town or a short drive from Città della Pieve. In the gallery I highlight a few.
Tuscany’s most famous hilltop towns are also just a short drive away, as is Lake Trasimeno offering 45 square miles watery delights. Including 2 islands to explore, E biking, sailing and water sports. As well as excellent skiing on picuresque Mount Amiata in the winter months.
