The Val d’Orcia is a large countryside located in southern Tuscany, on the border with Umbria. Crossed by the Orcia river in the centre, which gives it its name. It is characterized by stupendous landscapes and small villages of medieval origin, some of which are very well known. The whole area is now a protected park (recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 2004). In fact, its nature still appears uncontaminated and beautiful, with ever-changing colors according to the various seasons.
Medieval castles, sinuous hills, ancient villages, beautiful isolated farmhouses, avenues of cypresses, fabulous vineyards and olive groves, and wheat fields are what characterize this part of Tuscany.
Val d’Orcia is also recognized for its exquisite cuisine. In fact, the area is incredibly rich in high quality local products, such as the fabulous Pienza pecorino cheese or the delicious Montepulciano wine.
