The Cottage

Pienza - Tuscany

The 70 sq.m. cottage was completely restored in 2006 in the classic Tuscan style (beamed ceilings, terracotta floors & internal shutters), yet is light & modern in feel. It forms part of a working farm located among 5 hectares of vineyard & olive groves in the beautiful Orcia Valley (UNESCO World Heritage Site), landscape which has been celebrated by artists down the ages & by modern photographers. The cottage makes a perfect base for exploring the magical countryside & historic hill towns of Val D'Orcia (inc: Pienza - also UNESCO WHS in its own right -, Montalcino, Radicofani, Castiglione D'Orcia), the thermal springs of Bagno Vignoni & Bagni San Filippo, the atmospheric Abbey of Sant' Antimo & also Montepulciano. Plus it is convenient for exploring other nearby towns of artistic & architectural interest such as Siena, Cortona, Arezzo, Perugia, Orvieto, Assissi - all within a comfortable one hour's drive away. Florence, ca 90km, can be reached easily by car or by bus.
