A holiday in July in the Borgo Ideale of Pienza

In July, treat yourself to a visit to the ideal Renaissance city: Pienza, as honey-coloured as its travertine stones, welcomes you to its central square, harmoniously set between the Duomo and the so-called Pozzo dei Cani.

The Borgo will appear to you like a delightful Renaissance painting: stroll through the narrow streets of the historic centre, taste the famous pecorino di Pienza, savour the fabulous wines, pici and honey.

If you choose Hotel San Gregorio as the base of your stay, you will be in the heart of the Val d'Orcia, a UNESCO heritage site with its medieval castles, winding hills, cypress-lined avenues, vineyards, olive groves and wheat fields.

Wake up to the scent of butter and coffee, our cakes and tarts, then set off to discover nearby, unmissable places like Montalcino, Montepulciano and Bagno Vignoni with its hot springs.

The Val d'Orcia is not to be missed: book your getaway in July at Hotel San Gregorio now.
