Welcome to Pienza — a tiny hilltop town in Tuscany that feels like it was designed for romance.
As an Ethiopian-Italian couple, we’ve explored so much of Italy, but Pienza surprised us in a different way. It’s not just about the views — it’s the smell of pecorino cheese in the air, the quiet streets, and the way every corner opens up to the Val d’Orcia.
In this video, we’re spending the perfect day in Pienza — from breakfast and panoramic viewpoints to local food, wine, and hidden streets you might miss.
If you’re planning a trip to Tuscany, this is one place you don’t want to skip.

Quei pici mi sembrano meravigliosi! Yummm
Beautiful video!! Scenery looked out of a postcard. The charm of the town, the yummy food and the cute names of the small streets 🤩
One of the stupidest headlines I've ever seen on YouTube. Pienza has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996!!! What's "Best Kept Secret" about a place so famous it's known worldwide??? Is a village of less than two thousand inhabitants that has OVER A MILLION VISITORS A YEAR a "Best Kept Secret"??? Are you kidding or are you making fun of the users? There are no other possibilities!!!
