Villas in Val D'Orcia

Val d'Orcia is a wide valley in the province of Siena, located in the south of Tuscany, between Valdichiana, Crete Senesi and Mount Amiata. Its name comes from the river that flows through it, the river Orcia, a tributary of the River Ombrone, the most important waterway in southern Tuscany. This lovely valley, where you will stay renting one of the luxury villas suggested by WeVillas, is divided into the municipalities of Castiglione d'Orcia, Montalcino, Pienza, Radicofani and San Quirico d'Orcia. With its beautiful landscape made of gentle hills covered with olive groves, vineyards and forests, Val d'Orcia is the ideal destination for those who want to relax with walks and hikes in the Parco Naturale, Artistico e Culturale della Val d’Orcia (Natural, Artistic and Cultural Park of Val d’Orcia), a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2004. Val d'Orcia is also synonymous with art and culture: the area is dotted with medieval villages and towns rich in history and interesting monuments, such as Pienza and Montalcino, just to mention the most famous ones. Those who prefer the healthy holiday can visit the spas of Bagno Vignoni and Bagni San Filippo. At the end of the day, everyone should try at least once a dinner with the specialties of the Val d'Orcia, such as "pici" (a particular type of fresh pasta), pecorino cheese and Brunello di Montalcino. In Val d'Orcia, you can find this and much more. Visit it during a week's holiday in Tuscany, maybe staying in one of the luxury villas for rent proposed by WeVillas.
