Val d'Orcia is a scenic valley known for its stunning landscapes, picturesque hill towns, and quaint villages. The valley spans across the provinces of Siena and Grosseto and covers an area of over 800 square kilometers.

The Val d'Orcia is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is famous for its rolling hills, cypress trees, vineyards, and wheat fields. The area is dotted with charming towns like Montalcino, Pienza, and Montepulciano, each with its own unique character and history. Visitors can enjoy wine tasting, indulge in traditional Tuscan cuisine, explore the quaint alleyways and piazzas, or simply take in the breathtaking views.

One of the most iconic landmarks in the Val d'Orcia is the Abbey of Sant'Antimo, a Benedictine monastery that dates back to the 12th century. The abbey is known for its beautiful Romanesque architecture and its stunning location in the heart of the valley.

Another popular attraction is the town of Bagno Vignoni, known for its thermal baths and hot springs. Visitors can relax and soak in the warm, mineral-rich waters while taking in the beautiful views of the valley.
