Actually, the town described in the book “Under the Tuscan Sun” by Frances Mayes is Cortona. It’s not far from Montalcino (about a 40 minute drive) and is indeed a very beautiful medieval town. Both towns are well worth visiting.

My brother went there and liked it so much that he became interested in a medieval property for sale in this historical village. Unfortunately for me he did not buy it!

It is a small town (village, really) but very interesting and picturesque. Be prepared to walk up steep hills. I was there 2 years ago and just loved it.
