Tuscany, South Tuscany
Our South Tuscany area includes the hill towns of Montipulciano, Monticino, Pienza and the unforgettable Val d'Orcia (Orcia Valley). The Val d'Orcia, through which flows the River Orcia, is the quintessential Tuscan landscape. Once dry and barren it has been transformed over the centuries into one of the most productive and beautiful regions in the world, dotted with small villages, parish churches, villas and castles, separated by a patchwork of vineyards, orchards, pastures and fields.
Why South Tuscany- Peaceful countryside away from the madding crowds
- Stunning landscapes with unlimited walking opportunities
- Outstanding accommodation at reasonable prices
- Thermal springs
Description Roads and fields are lined with imposing oak, beneficent umbrella pine, tall and priestly cyprus, and varieties of other trees, shrubs and bushes that flare into color almost throughout the year. Much of the valley is part of a large park system known as the Artistic Natural and Cultural Park of Val d'Orcia, consisting of five distinct areas (Pienza, Castiglione d'Orcia, Montalcino, Radicofani and San Quirico d'Orcia).A beautiful area south of Siena, South Tuscany offers the quintessential Tuscan landscape, home to beautiful hill top towns, world heritage natural parks and patchwork farms.
