An empty building on the southwest corner of Piazzetta Pescheria , next door to a real restaurant, Trattoria Pescheria I Masenini , a few blocks east of Juliet's house, toward Ponte Nuovo , was transformed into the restaurant for the film.

As food-obsessed Victor takes off for a wine auction in Livorno, Sophie dedicates herself to helping out the Secretaries of Juliet, replying to a year-old letter she mysteriously discovers behind a dislodged brick. Sophie and Charlie take the opportunity to go sightseeing in Siena itself, where they naturally stroll through the 13th century Piazza del Campo , the heart of the city, which you might recognise from its appearance in Quantum of Solace.

John , the eastern face of the black and white marble Duomo di Siena Siena Cathedral , where they have the ice cream fight. The Caparzo Vineyard , where Claire finally discovers the real Lorenzo Franco Nero is the real thing, covering five hillsides near Montalcino.

Visit: Italy. Visit: Verona. Its tightly structured with fine-tuned tannins. Let it breathe for at least 30 minutes after opening, and pair with a grilled steak or dry, hard cheese like a Pienza. In , I had the opportunity to stay at Relais Borgo Scopeto rated four out of five stars. The driver who was supposed to pick me up at the Florence airport never materialized — so I rented a car and went off in search of it myself.

I figured I could find any place. Dirt roads are involved! If you should ever have the opportunity, I suggest you also try to lose yourself in Tuscany! But what about Borgo Scopeto? It advertises itself as being on a hill overlooking Siena, but you can hardly see that far for the rows of cedars a Tuscan landscape signature and other huge trees encircling the property. And yes, the Tuscan moon does look as amazing as it did in the movie. The relais is far from any city lights, so the stars are innumerable.

The Milky Way looked like a cloud bank of planets. The sunsets and sunrises glow with an intensity seen in few other places on Earth. The filmmakers do a clever job of looking like they went all over Italy. But I would estimate at least 80 percent of the filming was done in Tuscany — either at Borgo Scopeto or in the Montalcino area. Interested in the drive from Tuscany to Verona?

The scenery is extraordinary. I digress. Many who see the movie will probably be most interested to ask — not about the wines, or the lovely inns, or even about the beauty of Tuscany — but about whether the lovelorn really do leave their notes to Juliet on her wall they do. In the Montalcino, Siena and Castelnuovo Berardenga areas there are hundreds of beautiful villas to rent. Both luxury villas and affordable accommodations can be found. By: Jim on May 13, at pm.

You can […]. Wow — thank you for all the insight into the location of Letter to Juliet. I just saw the movie yesterday and was so in awe of the scenery.

I was in Tuscany about 7 years ago, and just kept thinking, that looks familiar, and after reading your info, I was right — the filming basically took place in the same areas I visited. Tuscany is almost indescribably beautiful. The filmmakers were there in the fall, when everything is starting to turn to gold. I love it also in the spring when everything is so many impossibly beautiful shades of green, and the fields become carpets of red poppies.

Thanks for writing! By: Jerry Garrett on May 17, at pm. Hello, Thank you for your feedback about the movie. I saw it last week also and I was very interested to know where it was filmed for I am going to Siena in August. I am especially interested in finding where exactly is the property where the wedding scene was filmed.

I just called the Borgo Scopeto Relais, but they did not know what I was talking about??? Had not seen the movie. Any help you can give me to find that enchanting place would be greatly appreciated. Grazzie Lorenza. Sorry for the tardy reply. I believe the wedding scene was filmed at one of the Caparzo winery properties near Montalcino. By: Jerry Garrett on June 6, at am. Beautiful location.

More than people so far have clicked from this blog to the site for Borgo Scopeto Relais.

They are probably booked up for years in advance now! By: Jerry Garrett on November 27, at am. Enjoyed reading your blog and info on your website…..

We have always wanted to visit Italy and this movie just sealed the deal. We were thinking of Verona, Siena, Florence we have heard Florence is amazing as well …. Thank you for your kind words.

In Tuscany, I love the small hill towns such as Montalcino a real favorite and Montepulciano. These are places that you can see in the movie. But there are so many fabulous choices. You may like larger cities.

In that case, Florence is unforgettable. Fall is a terrific time to visit; the tourists of summer are gone, the trees are turning gold, and the weather is usually perfect.

This was one of my favorite movies.

Any ideas where I can find the others? Let me know if that does not answer your question. By: Jerry Garrett on June 8, at pm. Yes, I tried that Jerry.

If nothing else, we will just explore when we get there! If any of you folks decide to get married at the Caparzo Estate, or Borgo Scopeto, please invite me to the wedding. I may not show up, but I will give you one heckuva nice bottle of the local red. By: Jerry Garrett on June 14, at am.

He have always preferred Spain. We recently watched the movie and Jerry, with all the information you have provided, I now know we are definitely returning to Italy for our 60th wedding anniversary in Thank you so much for all your wonderful insight and advice.

I salute you and your husband for 60 years of marriage. What a wonderful love story! By: Jerry Garrett on June 19, at am. Magnificent Tuscany was scenery to many of my fav movies, clearly an excellent location choice. Why not? The one thing that I wish had happen was to find diapers for my son in the local pharmacy. This took place 21 years ago, I am sure things are now different.

And Italians are still the hottest looking men on the planet. By: Jerry Garrett on June 27, at am. Jerry: You have answered all my questions! A real feel good movie with great actors and the beautiful of Tuscany. After finally getting the info of the hotel in the movie I will be on my way to Italy in a few months. I definitely will stay at the Relais Borgo Scopeto and visit the other sights in the movie.
