Day 8 - Montepulciano, a Tuscan Hill Town

Driving through Tuscany

We reach Montepulciano, park outside the old wall and walk in to find our hotel....

We are astonished and thrilled to discover our room has an amazing terrace ....


With a beautiful view ....




Someone and her Tuscan pig from Siena get settled in quickly!



This is where we parked the car!

Mum goes out for a walk on the town while someone and her Tuscan pig stay 'home' to enjoy the terrace ....

This is the Albergo Marzocco hotel - our terrace is on the top left....

The hotel is at the bottom of the main street of the old town....

It is all uphill from here!



Chiesa di Sant'Agostino, oldest standing church in Montepulciano, 1285 - 1440
