Val d'Orcia: holidays for travellers and bikers
Val d'Orcia is one of the most beautiful and well known tourist destination in Tuscany, a synthesis of the essential qualities of Siena's countryside, where the geometry of the landscape is perfect. The views are extraordinary over hills that embody harmony, in Val D'Orcia cypress trees, stretched toward the sky, trace the fascinating paths of winding country roads.
One of the fascinating roads that rolls gently in Val d'Orcia is the the one that goes from Montepulciano toward Pienza, the gateway to Val d'Orcia. Here you can admire a real work of art that evolves with the changing weather and seasons.
Travelling or better pedalling through the valley is the dream that every cyclist hopes to live out one day. The distance, the fatigue, the climbs and the wind in no way diminish the ecstasy that awaits bikers here.
But the area is an ideal destination for each type of traveller because it is rich in attractions of undisputed interest, such as the "Strada del Vino" (wine route) that passes through the homeland of the legendary Brunello di Montalcino wine, or medieval villages such as Pienza, Montepulciano or the monastery of Sant'Antimo.
To enjoy the wonders of the Val d'Orcia there are many hospitality solutions: farmhouses, little hotels, and the typical Tuscany's Villa for rental.
