What I can say is that if you are visiting Val d'orcia and you know what you can expect, this church with its beauty, its Renaissance architecture, its harmony and its harmonious insertion into the landscape represents the Val d'Orcia at its best.

One of the most pleasant things to do in the whole of Tuscany is to park at the bottom of this lovely hill-town's historic centre at the Porta al Prato and stroll up the roughly one kilometer to the Piazza Grande at the top for lunch or coffee. It's a reasonably gently incline so most people should manage it and you can always drop your pace for a look at the shops and wine stores. We thought the quality of the stores had improved somewhat since the last time we visited and there were some quality goods on display. There always seem to be enough people on this street for it to be buzzy, but without the frenetic, tour-group driven bedlam of Florence or Siena. And the tourists seem to be calmer, happier, and less pressured. Definitely a lovely way to spend half a day.

The Centro Storico of Montepulciano is charming with plenty of architecture to admire and bars or cellars to try the local wine. There is a lovely square, a fort and cathedral along with wine cellars. Located on top of a hill, you get some wonderful views of the Tuscan countryside. However, because the town is on top of a hill there are fairly steep roads to climb as you explore the town. There's not parking inside the Centro Storico so you can't avoid the climb (which is fine for most people but if you've got mobility problems or a buggy it could be a problem.
