Everyone loves Pienza. It’s in the Val D’Orcia between Montalcino and Montepulciano. It’s a small town–a Renaissance gem of a town. The folks of Pienza are quite used to tourists hanging around the bars and restaurants.
Pienza is known for its pecorino, that’s sheep’s cheese, expecially the ’sotto cenere’ or ‘under ashes’ version. Of course, at the right time of year, there’s the truffled version.
I Cipressini Pienza Vacation Rental
The countryside is pure, uadulterated Tuscany. You should stay there for maximum effect. If I might be so bold, perhaps I could suggest something?
Look to the left. Those cypresses just scream Renaissance Tuscany, don’t they? And you live on the top floor, the bottom isn’t used, just like in the Renaissance, when your cows and pigs and sheep would be cavorting under there and providing free heat for you to enjoy.
This stately farm estate, called I Cipressini, is yours to rent. Pretend you’re a large estate holder in Tuscany. Gaze out at your cypresses while stabbing at a hunk of pecorino with your big hunting knife.
That’d be the life, eh?
