Jim,
Thanks for this information!
I presume one needs a car to reach this beautiful abbey, right?
yes, need a car. It is one of the most peaceful places you can stand in. a grand place with a unfortunate history
Certainly a rental car (or hired driver) would be the way to go.
How close is this to Cortona? This looks amazing and I'm sure pictures don't do it justice. This is exactly what my DH and I hope to do next spring - explore some of the smaller roads and find these historic sites.
Its about a 1.5 hour drive west of Cortona
a picture to show how big the space is:
