TUSCANY

The undeniably scenic Val d’Orcia region, which covers the southern part of Tuscany, is famous for its classic postcard landscapes. The medieval enchanting towns of Montalcino, Pienza, San Quirico D’Orcia, and Bagno Vignoni, among many others, are set in this area. Combining the glorious scenery of its hills with its famous vine producing land, its local food specialties, and its natural thermal waters from local springs, Val d’Orcia is certainly a part of Tuscany you cannot miss!
Relax in comfort at Lagesta, a sunny two-story country house, set a twenty-minute drive from Montalcino and overlooking the picture-perfect landscape of Val d’Orcia.

The medieval town of Siena is built across several hills and valleys; that's why you will find yourself walking up and down through its historical center. The lack of car traffic makes Siena a wonderful place to stroll, especially with kids! Despite sometimes being packed with tourists, the city always has a quiet and easygoing feel. A must-see is the shell-shaped square called Il Campo. This is the focal point of the city and the perfect setting to snap your Instagram photos while enjoying an over-sized gelato. This is also the venue of the internationally renowned horse race, The Palio, which takes place on July 2nd and again on August 16th each year.
Visit San Gimignano, famous for its skyline, and Volterra, renown for alabaster artifacts. The small fortress cities within easy driving distance of one another, each offer their own special appeal. The medieval walled city of Monteriggioni – for example – was built in the 13th century and it is known to be one of the most well preserved ancient fortifications in Italy, which is why it is a preferred destination for plenty of tourists, scholars, architects and archeologists from all over Europe.
