Itinerary
One of the most beautiful towns of Tuscany, the medieval village, which was immortalized by the movie "Under the Tuscan Sun". You will be stopped by the renowned Villa Bramasole for pictures. Then, driven to the center of the little town to explore it all over, sit down in one of the cafeterias by the main square, have a cappuccino, and feel overwhelmed by the delightful atmosphere of an old Tuscan village! Very charming, very beautiful, you will love and never forget!
By yourself, or with your driver, you will reach the famous countryside residence that was the one you have seen by watching the movie! You will be stopped just outside the villa and be given time for pics and for falling caught away in time life that belongs to that spot!
Montepulciano does not need to be presented! It is the town of the famous "Nobile di Montepulciano" red wine, celebrated by poets, and today considered one of the world's finest Italian red wines. You will have time to walk around and discover the beauties of the main square, piazza Grande, lined up by the Duomo and the Town Hall of typical Renaissance architecture, but with still recognizable medieval features!
The Cantica Contucci resides in the historic family residence, and it is, according to ancient sources, one of the oldest and most appreciated. Always available to welcome tourists into the wine cellar and to serve a little wine tasting of their excellent Nobile di Montepulciano to anyone who wishes to get to know the flavor of this nectar of the gods.

Oscar was THE BEST guide! He was so knowledgeable about the history and absolutely wonderful !!! If you are looking for a great experience this is it!!! Look no further! If I could I would give 10 stars!!!
This was a great tour. Alessandro is a great guide and Driver. He looked after me very well. I ‘ ve wanted to visit Cortona since reading Frances Mayes Book “Under the Tuscan Sun” and seeing the Movie. One of the Highlights of the Tour was visiting Bramasole, The House purchased and renovated by Frances and her husband Ed which Prompted the Book and later on the Movie. To top it off Frances and Ed were in Residence and I met her when she drove out her front gate. Alessandro Wrote a wonderful guide to Cortona and Montepulciano which he gives to his guests so they get the most out of the tour. He also shows you around. After seeing Cortona we drove to Montepulciano. Where Alessandro took me to a wonderful restaurant where I enjoyed a delicious lunch with all the local specialties including the Red wine the region is famous for. afterwards we walked around the town . If you want an enjoyable day in a beautiful region of Italy. Then I recommend this tour.
Grazie mille Lynn, it was nice to drive you through the Tuscan countryside and countryroads and guide you around the towns! Thank you hope to hearing from you soon again!
Fantastic Tuscan countryside, beautiful historic cities explained with passion by Alessandro our guide. Super recommended, super relaxing and interesting.
Grazie mille per la bella recensione. Spero ci sia ancora occasione di incontrarci. A presto
This tour to Cortona and Montepulciano was exactly what I had been wanting for a Tuscany experience! Alessandro Vagnoni was a wonderful driver and guide as we drove through the countryside from Rome. In Cortona, he took pictures of us in front of the picturesque villa of Bramasole, as seen in the movie. He escorted us through the area as well as giving us time to be on our own. Montepulciano was another wonderful city where Alessandro had made reservations in advance for us for an incredibly scrumptious lunch. This 10 hour trip gave us five hours in the two cities as well as the five hours of driving in beautiful countryside seeing fields of sunflowers, vineyards and olive trees. It was a very special day in Tuscany that I will always treasure. I highly recommend this tour!
Grazie mille Peggy, it was so nice guiding you around Tuscany! My warmest regards
