Montepulciano and Pienza

Our Montepulciano and Pienza tour is at the top 5 Tuscany Tours from Rome, and one of the most frequently booked tours to Tuscany.

What’s not to love about this tour that combines picturesque Tuscan landscapes and charming medieval towns with exquisite local wines and delicious local Tuscan food.

Montepulciano and Pienza Tour – video by Stefano Rome Tours


Montepulciano is an ancient town whose origins go back to the Etruscan civilization that ruled Tuscany for centuries before Rome expanded over the Italian peninsula. As most medieval (and ancient) towns, Montepulciano was built on the ridge of Monte Poliziano (from where it got its name).  From its high position, it overlooks the captivating Val di Chiana (Valley of Chiana) and Val d’Orcia: two of Tuscany’s most enchanting valleys.

Famous for its red Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, visitors have ample opportunities to enjoy wine tasting at local enoteche (wine shops) and visit their wine cellars, as well as stroll the pedestrian-friendly medieval streets lined with imposing palaces that house local artisan shops, gastronomic boutiques, cafes, and restaurants.

Pienza is another charming hilltop town with an advantageous view of the sprawling Valley of Orcia that can be admired from the parameters of the village.  Pienza is a fine example of the Renaissance Humanist concept of urban design and was instrumental in the town’s revival and reconstruction transforming it from a simple medieval town named Corsignano into an Italian Renaissance utopia that inspired cities across Italy and Europe. 

The town was renamed Pienza in honor of its homegrown Pope Pius II who initiated the transformative works. The historic center of Pienza is also declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Valley of Paradise


We recently created a NEW Tuscany Tour from Rome titled Valley of Paradise.  We also wrote a more detailed blog about Valley of Paradise detailing why we chose to give it that name.  We also posted many photos of Tuscany’s valley of paradise, we recommend that you take a moment to read it.

Top 5 Tuscany Tours from Rome - Valley of Paradise
Top 5 Tuscany Tours from Rome – Valley of Paradise

Val d’Orcia is one of the most photographed and filmed valleys in Tuscany, having also played the role of the “Elysian Fields” (an ancient pagan expression for Paradise) in the blockbuster film The Gladiator when the main character, Maximus, famously glided his hand through the ripe golden wheat field. Elysian Fields are, especially, fields of paradise.  Val d’Orcia is also rightfully listed as a UNESCO World Cultural Landscape. You can learn more about Val d’Orcia on our blog.

Valley of Paradise – Top 5 Tuscany Tours from Rome with RomeCabs

This Valley of Paradise Tour in Tuscany focuses on the spellbinding Val d’Orcia (Valley of Orcia) and three delightful towns and villages that are located in the heart of this remarkable valley: Pienza, Montichiello, and Montalcino.

Continuing from our above description of Pienza…..

Pienza is also among the most romantic villages in Tuscany,  ideal for a stroll along its narrow pedestrian lanes lined with pretty stone buildings that add charm to the village.  What adds to the romantic charm of Pienza are its narrow lanes with delightful names such as Via del Amore and Via del Bacio (Love Street  and  Kiss Street ), that will lead you to the edge of the village where you will behold some of the most stunning views of Val d’Orcia. 

You can also see from here the windy country road lined with characteristic cypress trees that were featured in the Elysian Fields segment of The Gladiator.

Further along the picturesque windy roads surrounded by the splendor of Valley of Orcia, you will arrive in Montichiello.  The village is as charming as its name. Originally an ancient fortified hamlet that seems to rise from the hill it was built on, Montichiello will surprise you with its pretty buildings behind the ancient city walls, and spacious streets and squares that are unlike narrow spaces that define most medieval villages. 

Possibly the most rewarding experience you can have in Montichiello is having a seat on one of the benches on the village terrace that seem to offer a front-seat view of the photo-perfect scenery with a glimpse of Pienza majestically dominating the valley in the distance.

Not far away, is Montalcino, one of the most treasured hilltop towns in Tuscany. If you are wondering why all these ancient towns were built on top of hills, the answer is a practical one: in ancient times dwelling on hilltops offered protection from enemies as well as the ability to see them from a distance prevening surprising attacks and affording locals some time to prepare a defense.

Nowadays, these once strategic locations offer us splendid panoramas of the idyllic landscapes of Tuscany.

Montalcino is well regarded for its local Brunello di Montalcino, one of the finest wines in Italy that are produced from the local Sangiovese grape grown in vineyards all around Montalcino.

This pretty town attracts visitors not only for its fine wine but also for its historic, artistic, and architectural treasures. The hilltop town is crowned by an imposing fortress that was built when Montalcino came under the influence of Siena during the 1300s.

Cortona and Arezzo

This other popular Tuscany Tour from Rome was inspired by the two towns featured in two wildly popular films “Under the Tuscan Sun” which features Cortona and “Life is Beautiful” which features Arezzo.  Arezzo is also the hometown of the award-winning actor in the movie Roberto Benigni.


Over the many centuries, Arezzo grew and prospered to become one of Tuscany’s leading cities endowed with incredible monuments, museums, churches, and squares. Relish Arezzo’s beautiful Piazza Grande, the graceful medieval square surrounded by an eclectic assortment of elegant Medieval and Renaissance towers and palaces (palazzi).

Don’t miss the opportunity to stroll through Arezzo and discover the many charms this city possesses.

Cortona is so famous in its own right that it doesn’t need an introduction. As with Arezzo, Cortona is also an ancient town whose history exceeds its Medieval buildings and remnants of Etruscan walls.  Legends of ancient events connected to Cortona include Noah’s Flood, the story of Troy, and parables of Ulysses and Pythagoras.

Traditions and mysteries aside, historical documents reveal Cortona as a once-formidable Etruscan capital, whose remnants are still visible in its 3,000-year-old Etruscan walls.

On this popular countryside tour, your morning will begin with a journey to Bracciano Lake that will take you to the medieval lakeside town by the same name: Bracciano.

Bracciano is dominated by the imposing Renaissance era Orsini-Odescalchi Castle (most commonly known as Bracciano Castle).

You have the opportunity to visit the castle on your own, and see the many splendid rooms that are furnished and decorated with the original Renaissance era furniture, paintings, wall frescoes, and ornate ceilings.  You will walk through private apartment rooms that centuries ago were occupied by kings, queens, lords, ladies, and knights… transporting you to far away times of folklore and fairy tales.  

.

.
.

After visiting the outdoor atrium and Medieval style castle kitchen, be sure to climb up the castle walls and walk along the ramparts for a glorious view of the pristine lake and the rustic countryside around you.

Lunch in the medieval clifftop village of Ceri is not to be missed!  This former Medieval fortress with just one narrow street to reach the top of the village appears as though time stood still. 

Although tiny, this village is huge popular for the excellent local cuisine prepared by the local family owned restaurants that use fresh local and in season ingredients, and secret recipes passed down from generation to generation. Grandma still overlooks the kitchen to make sure that all is prepared with perfection and tradition.

After lunch you will journey further back in time to the ancient Etruscan civilization with a visit to the Banditaccia Etruscan Necropolis in Cerveteri to explore dozens of the hundreds of stone carved mound and cube tombs from that date as far back as around 700-300 BC.

ETRUSCAN MYSTERY TOUR

.

.

This unique Day Trip from Civitavecchia is offered by our sister company Stefano Rome Tours  takes you on a fantastic journey through the ancient lands of Etruria to places where the Etruscans once thrived and created amazingly beautiful things  – such as the vibrant tomb frescoes inside the Monterozzi Etruscan Necropolis in Tarquinia.

Tarquinia was once one of the most prominent ancient Etruscan city states and it gets its name from its ancient Etruscan name of Tarquinii.

There is absolutely nothing else like this in the world. Dozens of tombs dating back to around 5th-4th centuries BC were discovered to contain amazingly beautiful frescoes on the interior walls of the tombs. 

 Here, you will feel like you’ve come face to face with these ancient mysterious people as you admire tombs of Etruscans feasting and celebrating, dancing, playing music, hunting, playing sports, and more.  We have a special opportunity to see how they dressed, how they styled their hair, the furniture and tools they used, and how they went about their daily lives.

From Tarquinia, you will enjoy a scenic drive to Tuscania. 

Not to be confused with Tuscany, Tuscania was also formerly an important Etruscan city with many legends contributing to the origins of its name: one being it was named after Tusco, son of mythological Hercules and Araxes. 

Another legend has it Tuscania was founded by Aeneas’ son Ascanius who found 12 puppies there and named the place Tus-Cana – deriving from the word cana which is similar to the Roman word for dog, canis (cane in Italian).

ETRUSCAN MYSTERY – tours from Civitavecchia

The Etruscan civilization preceded the Romans and even ruled over Rome (Rome had 7 Etruscan kings before it became a Republic). 

Much of what Romans achieved, they learned from the Etruscans who were one of the most highly advanced civilizations of its time from around 8th century BC to 4th century BC when they were conquired by the Romans and were absorbed into the ever growing Roman empire.

 

5 TOP “Cruisers’ Choice” Rome Shore Excursions from Civitavecchia

 

Because Etruscans built largely with wood and terracotta, most of their buildings have not survived over time, and they did not leave any books to learn more about this highly mysterious civilization whose alphabet and language have not yet been fully understood. 

However, in many of their underground tombs at the Monterozzi Etruscan Necropolis in Tarquinia, they left behind many beautifully painted tombs that depicted the daily lives of these amazing ancient people.

How to Be in Control of your SHARED CIVITAVECCHIA Transfers

2 Dec

Buon giorno and welcome to RomeCabs Travel Blog!

 

Sharing Transfers to and from Civitavecchia Cruise Port has become an option for many travelers to share costs. In this travel blog we show you How to be in Control of your Shared Civitavecchia Transfers with RomeCabs.

 

Unfortunately many generic shuttle services mean unpredictable pick up times, unpredictable wait times, unpredictable number of persons in the vehicle, unpredictable number of stops around Rome hotels or multiple cruise ships….it’s by and large an unpredictable experience.  

If you are arriving at the Airport and experience delays in customs or baggage claims (which often happens at Rome’s airport!), your shuttle service may not wait for you – after all, they have other passengers sharing the same vehicle you were supposed to be on that don’t want to wait on you.

 

Many travelers would like the option of a cost saving shared transfer to and/or from Civitavecchia, but with the benefits of a private service:  predictable pick up time, no wait times, knowing in advance how many people will be in the vehicle, and not being crammed in with strangers.

 

How to Be in Control of your SHARED CIVITAVECCHIA Transfers

 

Imagine if YOU are in charge of who shares your vehicle.

Imagine if YOU are in charge of the total number of passengers in your vehicle for YOUR personal comfort and space.

Imagine if YOU scheduled the pick up time and knew when to expect your driver.

Imagine if YOU knew your driver’s route in advance.

 

Privately Shared Civitavecchia Transfers with RomeCabs

Privately Shared Civitavecchia Transfers with RomeCabs

 

All of the above are possible on your next Civitavecchia Transfer with RomeCabs, and it’s EASY!!

.
It’s important also to consider which transfers are best shared and which are best private.

 

Private transfers are best for Airport Arrivals.

It is difficult to organize a transfer with others to arrive at the airport at the same time (or close).  Add in situations like missed connections, flight delays, lost luggage, and you will realize a shared transfer is not the best option for arrival transfers.

 

The best Shared Transfers to and from Civitavecchia are:

 

Rome Hotel to Civitavecchia

Civitavecchia to Rome Hotel

Civitavecchia to Airport

 

HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR SHARED TRANSFER

 

By far the best way to organize your shared transfers is through Cruise Critic where you will find thousands of members, many who may also be cruising on your same ship!

 

Finding fellow cruise mates with similar itineraries is easy on a ship that accommodates thousands of cruisers.  If you’re not already a Cruise Critic member, this is a good time to sign up.

 

Once your travel plans are all set, place an ad on Cruise Critic Roll Call and invite other follow cruisers to share your specific transfers.

 

TIPS ON ORGANIZING YOUR SHARED CIVITAVECCHIA TRANSFERS

 

*  For Transfers between Rome hotels and Civitavecchia:

it’s important that all parties stay at centrally located hotels in Rome. Not only you save time while everyone is collected or dropped off at their respective hotels, but the fee for additional hotels are minimal when everyone’s hotels are centrally located.

 

* For Transfers from Civitavecchia to the Airport:

Make sure that everyone is flying out of the same airport (usually Fiumicino Airport, less likely from Ciampino Regional Airport).  Choose a pick up time at least 3 hours prior to the first flight departure so the party leaving first will arrive at the airport on time, and those flying out later have the option to wait at the airport as needed.

 

There is no extra fee for multiple terminal drop offs. Anyone staying at the Airport Hotel? No problem, that counts the same as going to the airport.

 

**  Do NOT organize shared transfers if some persons need to go to Rome and others to Fiumicino Airport.

Fiumicino Airport is about 40-60 minutes away from Rome, and this extra leg adds the equivalent of an additional airport transfer from the airport to Rome to drop off the rest of the party. It is not cost effective, and the party going to Rome will have to endure a 2 – 2.5 hour drive.

 

Organize shared transfers with everyone going TO, or leaving FROM the same cruise ship.   

Because some ships may dock at different times, or experience delays, you don’t want your group split up – especially if you have to travel to the airport for a flight.

 

Keep in mind total number of passengers and luggage capacity:

The maximum capacity per vehicle is 8 passengers, and total of 7-8 checked in suitcases and 7-8 carry on cases. Please keep in mind the maximum luggage capacity if you wish to form a group of 8 to ensure everyone and their luggage can be safely accommodated inside the vehicle.

 

For optimal space, comfort and travel time, we suggest up to 6 persons staying at no more than 3 hotels.

A how-to guide to book your Rome Cabs Transfer (to/from Rome Airport)

Booking your Airport and Civitavecchia Transfers with RomeCabs is easy.

..

Whether you are arriving in Rome on a land trip or to begin your cruise, likely you will arrive at Fiumicino Airport.  Fiumicino Airport is the largest international airport in the region, and it can be pretty chaotic.

Unlike many airports, the baggage claims area where you collect your luggage at FCO (Fiumicino) airport is security restricted – meaning nobody without a valid airline ticket or special security clearance can access that area.   Therefore,  everyone who is waiting for friends and loved ones to arrive via FCO – including private drivers, must wait in a designated area in the main waiting hall of the arrival terminal.
.
This helpful video shows you where your driver will meet you and also offers helpful information such as using luggage trolleys to easily carry your luggage out from the baggage claims, use the complimentary wheelchair service for those with mobility issues, and what to do in case your flight arrives ahead of schedule or if you experience delays.

 It’s a MUST for any RomeCabs clients to watch prior to arriving at FCO Airport.

The Mediterranean sun is strong in the summer, make sure you protect your skin, eyes, and head while sightseeing outdoors.

If you prefer to have flexibility and be spontaneous with your sightseeing destinations, bring something light with you that you can carry in your small day bag that not only you can use to cover up while visiting your favorite churches, but also to use in the evening when the temperature cools down and a shawl or a sleeved top will take away the chill.

.

4 Bring a Portable Water Bottle

It’s very hot in Italy in the summer, so it’s important to stay hydrated throughout the day.

Buying bottled water can cost 2 Euros or more at kiosk vendors near tourist attractions. At most cafes tourist markets, you find them at about 1 Euros each. At the local supermarket about 25 cents.

Even if you buy a pack of bottled water from a local market and keep them refrigerated in your room, you’d go through your first bottle of water by mid morning. You can either refill the same bottle of water throughout the day, or just bring a portable and refillable water bottle with you that you can reuse throughout your vacation.

Many fountains in large cities like Rome serve cold fresh natural drinking water, one of the best ways to quench your thirst in the Eternal City

You can also buy a large cold bottle of water from the market of cafe and use it to refill smaller bottles if you are traveling with family or friends.

5 A Back-up Piece of Luggage.

While many travelers travel light, when they arrive in Italy they find so many wonderful things to buy that their luggage suddenly cannot contain all their new purchases.  By bringing a light cloth duffel bag, you have enough space for your belongings and your new treasures.

And don’t forget… starting the the 2nd week of July is the much anticipated Summer Sale that hits all the major clothing, shoes, and accessories shops in Italy.  Your shopping spree just became more exciting and affordable!

30 May Stefan's RomeCabs Company

.

.

Here are 5 Ways to book the Perfect Airport Transfers in Rome

.

1  Book your Airport Transfers in advance.  

Don’t wait until the very last minute to book your airport transfers.

Not only last minute availability is limited during peak travel months and holidays, but when booking something as important and detailed oriented as an Airport Transfer, it’s easy to make errors in placing your reservations or overlook important information provided by the company regarding your transfers.

.

2  Book ALL your transfers together

To simplify your travel plans and secure all your transfers together, it’s best to book ALL your transfers together in advance and have one less thing to worry about during your trip.

This will eliminate stress during your holiday worrying about how you will make your way back to the airport for your departure transfer, and making last minute transfer arrangements abroad can be problematic if you can’t secure availability.
.

3  Include your total luggage count

Inform the company of the total number of luggage pieces (suitcases and carry ons) you have to ensure you will be provided a suitable size vehicle to accommodate all passengers and luggage safely together.

 

4  Arriving at Fiumicino Airport?  Prepare in advance.

5. Turn your Airport Transfer into a Mini Tour of Rome

Stefano’s RomeCabs offers very popular VIP TRANFSERS with options for 1 hour tour by car, or 2 hour mini tour in Rome with options to make stops to take photos, have a quick lunch, coffee, gelato or do some preparatory shopping.

This is your time to spend as you wish with your English speaking RomeCabs Driver at your disposal.

 

4  Flying out of Rome internationally?
Select your pick up correctly

Book your Transfer from Rome to the Airport at least 3 hours prior to your International flight departure time.  

Don’t book your pick up transfer too close to your flight, you will risk missing your flight if you encounter unexpected traffic delays which is always problematic and unpredictable in Rome.

.

5  Flying out from Fiumicino Airport?
Check your departure Terminal Number

If your flight departs from Fiumicino Airport, check the Terminal Number your flight will depart from and inform the company which terminal to drop you off at for accurate service.

You could be flying out of Terminal 1, Terminal 2, Terminal 3, and Terminal 5

At Fiumicino Airport airlines share multiple Terminals for departure depending on first destination cities, code sharing, or other circumstances.

Sometimes airlines may also change Terminals last minute and it’s important to check your departure details for any changes.

.

We hope these easy tips will help make your Airport Transfers in Rome or elsewhere in the world a perfect beginning and ending to your holiday!

“Swan Lake” and the Enchanting Lake Bracciano

26 May Swan Lake - Bracciano Lake tour with Rome Cabs

.

Buon giorno and welcome to Stefano’s RomeCabs, Rome’s leading company for private Transfers, Day Tours, and Shore Excursions.

This article features the following video and the enchanting villages that surrounds Lake Bracciano:

“Swan Lake” and the Enchanting Lake Bracciano

 .

 .

Lake Bracciano is one of the most famous and prominent lakes in Italy, located in the countryside of Rome not far from the port of Civitavecchia and it’s one of the most popular countryside destinations on RomeCabs’ Day Tours and Shore Excursions.

Considered the 8th largest lake in Italy, Lake Bracciano is widely used for sailing, rowing, and its dark sandy beaches attracts a large number of beach goers in the summer months.

Surrounded by the charming lakeside villages of Bracciano, Anguillara and Trevignano, Lake Bracciano is one of the most seeked out destinations for Romans wishing to escape the city of life of Rome, and visitors who wish to experience the tranquility and the beauty the Roman countryside has to offer.

.

“SWAN LAKE”

What makes Lake Bracciano even more enchanting are the many swans that grace the shores and sometimes even mingle with the people who gather on the dark sand lakeside beaches in awe and fascination around these beautiful and graceful birds.

In English, the word swan comes from the Indo-European root “swen’ – to sound or to sing.

In Italian, swans are called “cigno” (chee-nio), deriving from the Latin word “cycnus” (meaning a bird noted for it singing and sacred to pagan Sun god Apollo).

.

THE ENCHANTING LAKESIDE VILLAGES

The best places to have the opportunity to encounter these beautiful swans are along the shores of Trevignano, Anguillara, and the promenades near Bracciano.

.

TREVIGNANO

Trevignano is one of the lakeside villages with charming promenades lined with outdoor cafes and restaurants, Sunday markets, and folks taking strolls by the lake.

Inland, you discover the sleepy Medieval hamlet of Trevignano that has retained its historic feel that gives visitors the impression of stepping back in time a thousand years!

Walled in from the rest of the more modern world, the hamlet is a quite charming refuge of narrow alleys lined with cute doorways and windows with lacy curtains, a few local shops, and weathered facades of medieval stone buildings.

ANGUILLARA

Anguillara (officially named Anguillara Sabazia) is another medieval village that rests on a small cape on the coast providing a spectacular backdrop as the lake mirrors its reflection it is pristine clear water.

Its most spectacular feature is the promenade that leads to the village open lakeside square and its dark sandy beaches that is a popular destination for Italians and some foreign tourists who wish to spend a day at the lake.

BRACCIANO

The village of Bracciano is larger than the other two villages and it’s dominated by 15th century Renaissance Bracciano Castle (Castello Orsini-Odescalchi) that is still owned by the same Odescalchi family since the Renaissance times.
