The most beautiful landscapes of Tuscany
Tuscany by bike
half day / full day
Val d’Orcia is one of the most beautiful areas in the whole of Italy.
With its characteristic landscapes of cypress trees and farmhouses set on the hills, it's undoubtedly the symbolic image of Tuscany. It's considered a paradise for photography thanks to the special lights that, especially at sunset, offer a breath-taking scenery.
Val d'Orcia's Artistic and Natural Park has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site to be safeguarded and protected as an example of the harmonious relationship between man, art and environment over centuries.
This territory includes Pienza, San Quirico d’Orcia, Montalcino, Radicofani, Castiglion d’Orcia. All the villages have kept their original medieval appearance or as Pienza, its renaissance aspect.
The cuisine and wine of these places are a wonderful opportunity to further experience Val d’Orcia’s charm.
