My favorite mountain-top town so far is San Casciano dei Bagnio. It's small and beautiful, with mineral baths. You won't find it without looking for it. Tuscany is full of beautiful hill towns. You can't go wrong. And when we say hills, we mean really steep hills, with narrow, twisty roads ideal for sport bike and sports cars, but very enjoyable in a Fiat 500 as well.

San Gimignano and Siena are nice.

Thank you for the tip. We're in Orcia in the province of Siena heading in the direction of the city of Siena. I looked at your autobahn run again today and wish I could try it with my bimmer. The fastest I've ever gone on the autobahn is about 230 kmh years ago in a rented Mercedes. It was July and the traffic was too heavy to squeeze a few more clicks out of the 3 liters. However, a few years ago, I got 157 mph out of my Honda CBR 929 on a deserted road in a western state I shall leave unnamed. The bike had about another 9 mph to give, but I ran out of nerve before I ran out of road.
