movie location

I wanted to visit Pienza, Italy where parts of the 1968 Romeo and Juliet were filmed. I can't find a train station in or near it. One website only gave driving directions. Has anyone visited this town near Siena and could help me out?

Pienza is lovely. There is another beautiful town very near Pienza, but I don't know if you can get there by bus. Montechiello, I think I have spelled it correctly. It is absolutely beautiful.
