A morning mist lifts from the low Val d'Orcia bowls as your e-bike hums to life and the first cypress-lined lane appears on the horizon. The hills roll in long, agricultural ribs—olive groves, vineyard terraces and fields where sheep graze—each rise revealing another postcard view toward Pienza's pale stone rooftops.
