My Favorite Place in Tuscany
La Locanda di San Francesco is boutique hotel in Montepulciano
Why this is My Top Pick for Tuscany
The hotel is set in a 14th century palazzo in the historical center of Montepulciano in Tuscany. It is a family-run hotel. The area around Montepulciano has so much to offer people who love food, wine, nature and history. The atmospheric little town of Pienza, which lies next to Montepulciano, was the birth place of Enea Silvio Piccolomini, later Pope Pius II, who rebuilt the town in Renaissance style and used it as his home away from Rome in the 1400s. Pienza has wonderful small food stores that sell fresh pecorino cheese, which one must consume immediately.
