Good Plans Val d’Orcia & Civita di Bagnoregio

Food

Reserve all restaurants and ask to be seated outside.
In this part of Tuscany, a typical type of pasta is Pici, thick spaghetti.
If you want a good steak, Fiorentina is the good choice for you !
Reserve your wine tasting ahead of time. We loved ours in Ciacci Piccolomini d’Aragona.
My favourite tuscan dessert is Cantucci (cookies) and Vin Santo (a liquorish wine) ; you need to soak the cookie in the wine before eating it !
To park in Montepulciano, we always chose Parking 8 (Parcheggio P8 – Il Bersaglio) or Parcheggio S. Donato.
For Bagni San Filippo, you can park in via Fosso Bianco.
If you are planning to visit Civita, I would suggest you to arrive at around 5 pm so that the majority part of tourists already left, and you can have the village by almost yourself.
In Florence, you can experience the « Buchette del Vino » . The city is renovating these old windows used in the XVI Century to sell wine to costumers without owning a Locanda. In here you can find the complete map.
