Location Description

This property is located near the medieval town of Monticchiello in the Val d'Orcia. Monticchiello (2 km away) is home to shops, restaurants and a market. It can be reached on foot from the villa via a provincial road that is shared with cars, but usually does not have traffic. The town still has its original city walls, towers and castle, but the main attraction is the 13th century gothic church, which contains a beautiful altarpiece. In the slightly larger town of Pienza (5 km away), where there are shops, bars, pizzerias, restaurants, supermarkets, banks, post office, pharmacy and a gas station. The history of Pienza (or Citta di Pio) is closely linked to Pope Pius II, known as the great humanist. In 1458 he transformed this ancient town (his birthplace) into a perfect example of architectural and urban design. Judging by the attention this gorgeous town still gets today, his ambitious project was a success, attracting visitors from all over the world. The main sites include the Palazzo Piccolomini and the Duomo. Great day trips through the region include visits to the hilltop town of Cortona and the culturally rich city of Siena.
