   One of the true luxuries of a private tour is the freedom to make memorable stops along the way, and few are more magical than the Chapel of the Madonna di Vitaleta. Ask your driver to bring you to this iconic site, one of the most photographed places in all of Tuscany. Set amid the rolling green hills of Val d'Orcia and framed by elegant cypress trees, the small stone chapel offers a scene of pure serenity and beauty. Beyond its postcard-perfect appearance, the site holds deep spiritual significance: local legend tells that the Virgin Mary appeared to shepherds right here, making it both sacred and visually stunning.

The view through the gates is unforgettable, evoking the emotion and grandeur of the film.

   Next, your driver will take you to the enchanting town of Pienza, gracefully perched atop a hill with commanding views over the Val d’Orcia. Unlike any other town in Tuscany, Pienza was transformed in the 15th century at the request of Pope Pius II into an ideal Renaissance city, making it the first true example of humanist urban planning.

   You’ll have an hour and a half to wander through its charming stone alleyways, where every corner seems perfectly designed for beauty and balance. The atmosphere is serene and harmonious, offering a peaceful pause in your day. While you're there, be sure to sample Pienza’s famed Pecorino cheese, celebrated for its rich, distinctive flavor: a delicious taste of local tradition before continuing your Tuscan journey.

   You'll have an hour and a half to explore at your leisure: stroll along its atmospheric streets, admire the refined architecture, and soak in the town’s noble charm. Film lovers may also recognize Montepulciano as the dramatic backdrop of the vampire saga New Moon, adding a touch of cinematic allure to its historic beauty. Before departing, take time to visit a wine enoteca or browse the artisanal boutiques for unique, last-minute souvenirs.
