Montepulciano and Cortona

We stayed in Montepulciano in a converted palazzo, a very nice hotel, and took a day trip to Cortona. I regret not having more photos of Cortona, which was beautiful (Under the Tuscan Sun was filmed here), but it was raining and we spent most of the time going up and down hills, first trying to find the old part of the city, and then trying to find our lost car, and I guess I wasn't in the mood.

Beautiful gallery!! The panoramic views of the countryside are lovely and so are all the close up details of these two cities.
