The Val d’Orcia is one of Tuscany’s most beautiful regions, stretching from Siena in the north to Monte Amiata. Its landscape is characterised by gently undulating hills which appear in hues of lush green through to golden yellow as the seasons change. The area has been one of Italy’s UNESCO World Heritage sites since 2004. The area is incredibly rural and is dotted with some of Italy’s most impressive Renaissance towns and villages, among them Pienza, Montalcino and Castiglione d’Orcia. It’s often the highlight of visitor trips to Tuscany so we thought we’d share our favourite Val d’Orcia villas for those of you that would like to use it as a base for your Tuscany holiday.
