MUST DO ACTIVITIES:

- Montepulciano is a graceful Tuscan hill town, best known for its Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, which was being praised by connoisseurs over 200 years ago and can certainly contend with Italy’s best today. The many churches and handsome palazzi, the steep cobbled alleys and vine-trailing stone bastions are essential viewing for anyone venturing south of Siena. On a clear day from the top of the town you have tremendous panoramic views across the countryside, stretching towards Assisi’s Monte Subasio, Monte Amiata, the Val d’Orcia, Pienza, and even the towers of Siena.
- Montalcino is beautifully situated on a hill inhabited since Etruscan times, swathed in vineyards and olive groves. It is a quiet, affluent, attractive town with pretty buildings and flower-filled squares, and many shops selling the Brunello di Montalcino.
- Pienza, the unfinished “utopian” city, was commissioned by Pope Pius II in 1459. In just three years the cathedral, the papal and bishop’s palaces and the central part of the town were completed, but the extensive project ended abruptly when Pius died only two years after the consecration of the cathedral.
- The Val d’Orcia is a wide valley south of Siena through which the old Via Francigena (the chief route linking Rome with the north) used to lead, passing castles and fortified towns, some of them dating back as far as the eighth century. In San Quirico make sure you see the Horti Leonini, an early Renaissance garden, as well as the western door in the city wall and the Collegiata (main church).
- Florence et Rome can be reached by train in one and a half hours from the nearby station Chiusi.
- Monte Oliveto Maggiore. This abbey was founded by three Sienese noblemen who left the city to live a life dedicated to prayer, religion, etc. and who founded the Olivetan order – an off-shoot of the Benedictines. The most important thing to see at this still active and working Monastery is the cycle of frescoes that decorate the monumental cloister. They describe the life of Saint Benedict and were painted by Signorelli and Sodoma. There are also some beautiful marquetry stalls in the church itself. It is a very magical and serene place set in the midst of exceptionally beautiful countryside.
- It is home to a dozen monks who specialize in restoring old books, and make wine, honey and olive oil.
- Sant’Anna in Camprena is a rambling monastery on the road between Pienza and San Quirico d’Orcia. A very romantic setting which served as location for the film The English Patient. In the refectory there is a fresco by the renaissance painter Giovanni Antonio Bazzi, known as Il Sodoma.
- Sant’Antimo is surely one of the loveliest Romanesque buildings in all of Italy. It is hard to imagine a more sympathetic combination of architectural grace and natural setting. Originally founded by Charlemagne in 800, the abbey was once home to a prominent Benedictine community. Creamy stone bricks, luminous Volterran alabaster, playful carvings and frescoes of animals give it a peculiarly sunny air

Très bien
La maison et le jardin était parfaitement équipés et conforme á ce que nous attendions. La personne qui nous a accueilli était adorable. Nous avons eu l'occasion d'acheter du vin de la propriété le dernier jour et c'était parfait. Je recommande vivement de prendre l'option "diner" le soir d'arrivée car c'est vraiment délicieux et agréable de ne pas courir faire les courses en arrivant. Nous avons visité des restaurants dans les entourages qui étaient très bon. Les indications transmises en amont de la réservation étaient très bien.

Lovely
We got back from a week in Tuscany yesterday. We stayed in this lovely cottage and could not have been happier. We found the property without any problem, and were welcomed with great warmth. The owners had prepared a cake, and put some flowers in the living room. The fire was crackling. What bliss after a long trip. We spent the week discovering the region which has much to show and in the evenings went to local trattorias. I am quite certain that we will be back.

Wir waren hier sehr glücklich
Mit etwas Verspätung möchten wir uns nochmal für die tolle Organisation bedanken. Ganz außerordentlich beeindruckt aber waren wir von der Location selbst: die Casa di Pietro in Vivo d'Orcia war uns ein bezauberndes Heim in unserer Zeitreise in die Renaissance... und der Garten von Jonathan Radford ist ein einziger Traum! Daria war eine perfekte und sehr warmherzige Gastgeberin und Achilles hat uns in seiner goßen Freundlichkeit mit vielen Tipps und ausgesprochen schmackhaften Pilzen versorgt. Wir waren hier sehr glücklich und kommen mit Sicherheit im nächsten Jahr wieder.

Everything we had hoped for and more
After sightseeing in the bustling cities of Venezia, Milano, Ferrara, and Firenze, we were eager to arrive in Vivo d'Orcia, our oasis, where we could take in the lucious sights, smells, tastes, and sounds of the Tuscan countryside. "Eremo", the hermitage, was everything we had hoped for and more! As promised when we called to confirm our arrival, Jonathan was here to welcome us and show us Casa di Petro; Vincent, the French dog, and Tobias, the black cat, joined in the welcome party, all maing us feel instantly at home and certain that ti was where we needed to be in our journey. We cooked a simple but elegant meal of pasta con funghi, insalata, and vino (of course!) and finished with a small bit of chocolate and fresh "melone" before retiring; having the best night's sleep of our trip, waking up to the early Tuscan sunlight and the singing of birds, we were off to Siena for the day. We have treasured every day of adventures and the joy of returning to our haven. Our garden, so obviously tended with care, has been a particular pleasure for our meals, "al fresco", and to come out and just be... Grazie, grazie mille for every detail! This place will always be a happy memory for us in our Italian experience! Post Note: The beds were heavenly, by the way! The Casa had a very nicely prepared book on recommended sights and restaurants in the area.
