Val d'Orcia
Siena, Florence & Countryside
"UNESCO World Heritage landscape shaped between the 14th and 15th centuries as Siena's agricultural hinterland, reflecting an idealized model of good governance. The Via Francigena crosses the area, tying together landscapes, and villages."
It’s near impossible to think of the Tuscan countryside and not associate the iconic, cypress-lined Val d'Orcia with its landscape. This UNESCO World Heritage site comprises six main villages, each one renowned for a distinct attribute. Montalcino is famous for its red Brunello wine; Pienza for its pecorino cheese! Radicofani is associated with the Italian Robin Hood, and Bagno Vignoni boasts its iconic central thermal bath spring. San Quirico d'Orcia is where the cypress-lined driveway leading to the Chapel of Vitaleta is.
