The journey
The Val d'Orcia is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an exceptional example of the redesigning of the landscape in the Renaissance - a combination of art and landscape, the expression of wonderful natural features, and the result and testimony of the people who live there. This is the Tuscan countryside many people imagine: smooth rolling hills, cypress-lined roads, small hamlets, and chapels surrounded by fields. Visit Montalcino and Pienza, two of the area's most beautiful towns, with time to taste Brunello in two small off-the-beaten-track wineries. In Pienza, the ideal Renaissance city built on the wishes of Pope Pius II in the 16th century, you may also enjoy lunch at a favourite family-run place, with the option to linger over pecorino cheese and olive oil tasting.
