In the late afternoon, we reach Pienza. After a hot shower, we choose a small restaurant in the heart of the village for a typical Tuscan dinner. A few steps to digest, then we return to the camper van for a night of well-deserved rest.
The following day, we dedicate the morning to discovering Pienza, its shops, and its panoramic views, and in the afternoon we have an unforgettable experience: a horseback ride through the hills of the Val d’Orcia.

Sunday afternoon
Back at the camper van, we have lunch and in the early afternoon, we set off again in the direction of Siena.
From the parking lot, thanks to the convenient escalators, we reach Piazza del Campo in about twenty minutes.
We spend the entire day immersed in the city’s charm, among alleys, towers, and views that seem straight out of a medieval painting.
The evening, however, is dedicated to flavors: a dinner focused on typical Tuscan dishes, to conclude the day in the most authentic way.

Day four

Monday morning
A few kilometers from Siena awaits Monteriggioni, a small medieval jewel enclosed by its perfectly preserved walls.
We allow ourselves a couple of hours to walk through its streets and admire the view, still breathing in a bit of the Tuscan atmosphere… then it’s really time to go home, with a heart full of images and memories from this trip.
