We stayed in Montepulciano at Agriturismo Metina. We had our own apartment at the agriturismo. The owner, Monica, was very friendly. The area is beautiful and the apartment overlooks a vineyard. We visited Pienza, Orvieto, Montepulciano and Montalcino during our stay, all were charming.
We went on a tour with Franco Fadda, we did the Brunello di Montalcino tour. Ok, this wasnt just a tour, this was an experience. Amazing is all I can say. Very much worth the money.
