The car
About this car in Florence
Rented farmhouses in the Val d'Orcia often sit at the end of a gravel lane with a steep last stretch, and a group arriving with a week's luggage needs a car that copes with both. This 2025 Q8 S line does: quattro all-wheel drive, a 286 hp V6 diesel with plenty of torque for the hills, and a 605-litre boot for five people's suitcases.
From Florence it is about 110 km to Pienza, mostly motorway, then the SR2 through San Quirico d'Orcia. Once settled, the car is the way to explore: Montalcino for the wine, Bagno Vignoni for its thermal square, the chapel of Vitaleta at dawn. The light grey leather keeps the cabin bright on long summer days, and 241 km/h of top speed matters less than how quiet the car stays at the 130 km/h motorway limit.
Easter is a popular time to come, with the Scoppio del Carro in front of the Duomo on Easter morning; the centre is crowded and inside the ZTL anyway, so plan the handover outside it. Winter tyres are fitted in the cold season. The car can be handed over at Firenze Peretola, Pisa Galileo Galilei or Santa Maria Novella, or brought straight to the farmhouse door.

Best months for this car
It hardly ever snows in Florence and lows stay above freezing: here you choose an SUV for space, luggage and comfort, not for traction.
