The Orcia valley...a succession of rolling hills with old farmhouses and historical villages dotted here and there.

The Orcia Valley...dominated by the striking Mount Amiata, and the Orcia river wich flows across it. Delightful medieval villages look down on the valley while the benevolent sun illuminates the landscape, just as a light illuminates a room...

The cultivated fields are a kaleidoscope of colours as glints of silver from the olives mix with the yellow wheat, green woods and autumnal red vineyards...and silence reigns supreme.

Peace and tranquillity offer the visitor a slower pace of life while flowing streams and grazing sheep seem to suggest that..."this way of life exist..."
