The sought after Val d’Orcia is an area that epitomises the essence of Tuscany. In the province of Siena, to the south, it is famous for its landscape of rolling green hills, golden sunflower and wheat fields, abundant vineyards, shady olive groves, charming cypress lined lanes and enchanting villages and towns. Gastronomy is intrinsic to the area which is home to a wealth of high-quality products such as Pecorino cheese, olive oil, truffles, mushrooms, saffron and, of course, fine wines. It is no wonder that the area is protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Think Tuscany… Think Val d’Orcia.
Characteristic Towns and Villages of the Val d’Orcia
The village of Pienza, is one of the many highlights of the area. Widely known as the “ideal city of the Renaissance”, it was built by Pope Pius II, who wanted to create a utopian dream on the site of his birthplace village. In a hill top location, Pienza commands extraordinary views over the valley. Constructed around a beautiful central square, its typically Tuscan narrow streets are alive with shops selling local produce which can be sampled in one of the many fantastic restaurants or typical osterie.
The spa town of Bagno Vignoni is a truly unique and beautiful place. Instead of a main square, it is centred around a large pool which collects the hot water from the springs renowned, since Roman times, for their therapeutic powers. Today, in the nearby Parco dei Mulini, you can relax in the natural spring waters.
The classic fairy tale hilltop town of Montalcino is famed all over the world for the production of its wonderful Brunello red wine. Surrounded by a full circle of fortified walls and watched over by a perfect medieval castle, the streets of Montalcino are truly enchanting and the village is a wonderful place to stroll around the maze of arts and crafts shops, cafes, restaurants and wine bars.
As well as all the charm of typical Tuscan village, San Quirco d’Orcia it is home to the most photographed cypress trees in Tuscany whilst the picturesque village of San Giovanni d’Asso is famed for its truffles.
