The Val d'Orcia
land of vines, of olive trees, of rolling hills, strings of cypress trees, of a timeless beauty….the land of old rustic traditions, of country villages and ancient spa towns, the backdrop for the film writer and the magical setting for costume dramas…the wild terrain, brushed with bright and ever-changing colours; of the sea of clay, upon which in the autumn, the furrows of the ploughs unfurl in long waves, scribbling graffiti on the landscape; of the green mantle of the meadows, which in spring are speckled with the colours of the flowers, caressed by the wind; of the deep yellow of the sunflowers and the ripe corn, which in summer mingles with the red hue of the poppies.
In the silence of the valley, the animated echo of voices from the age-old towns perched on the hills invite you to venture along the narrow winding streets and to discover the jealously guarded treasures inside the walls and ramparts. Pienza and Montepulciano, little jewels of the Renaissance, the medieval village of Monticchiello and the ancient thermal baths of Bagno Vignoni are ready to reveal their unspoilt charm to those who want to experience their everlasting enchantment.
