In the south-eastern part of the Province of Siena, on a panoramic position, 10 km from the historical centre of Montalcino, and only 6 km from Bagno Vignoni, with the Ripa d'Orcia Castle just a few hundred meters distance, this property has a wonderful location in the heart of "Val d'Orcia", one of the most esteemed and authentic areas of Tuscany, with excellent exposition and suitable agricultural land. This elegant farmhouse is placed in a reserved and charming position, immersed in an uncontaminated landscape, although well connected. In only 40 minutes by car you can reach the city of Siena. This estate is well suited to become a cool holiday home in one of the most prestigious and renown areas in the Southern part of Europe.


The landscape of Val d’Orcia is part of the agricultural hinterland of Siena, redrawn and developed when it was integrated in the territory of the city-state in the 14th and 15th centuries to reflect an idealized model of good governance and to create an aesthetically pleasing picture. The landscape’s distinctive aesthetics, flat chalk plains out of which rise almost conical hills with fortified settlements on top, inspired many artists. Their images have come to exemplify the beauty of well-managed Renaissance agricultural landscapes. The inscription covers an agrarian and pastoral landscape reflecting innovative land-management systems, towns and villages, farmhouses, and the Roman Via Francigena with its abbeys, inns, shrines, bridges, etc. The magnificent natural scenery of the Val d'Orcia that extends through the Tuscan hills was inserted onto the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2004.
