  • Val D'orcia 1
    VAL D’ORCIA Sweet round-shaped hills, changing colour according to the season, low valleys along the Orcia river, parish churches and restored farms here and there, often hiding in a forest of cypresses. Such are the characteristics making the charm of Val d’Orcia incomparable, an extraordinary synthesis between nature, art and deeply rooted traditions. This beautiful area of Tuscany is under the authority of the Val d’Orcia Park, instituted to maintain and develop the heritage of a region to promote its typical produce. The fertile countryside of Val d’Orcia, cultivated with respect and wisdom, produces excellent wines, olive oil and high quality cereals. The landscape is deeply marked by man’s intervention aiming to enrich the natural beauty with sobre religious and civilian works of art. It is difficult to explain with words the serene charm emanating from the lands of Val d’Orcia in the spring, when the hills turn green, in the summer when the yellow colour of sunflowers and wheat fields dominates the area, in the beautiful fragrance of a variety of plants. In the south of Bagno Vignoni, olive groves, vineyards and cultivated fields are replaced by a Mediterranean bushland while in the Mount Amiata area opens out a thick forest of chestnut and beech groves. Mother Nature, especially generous with the Val d’Orcia’s people, did not forget to create thermal springs for rest and care. The Via Francigena goes through Val d'Orcia near the small village of Bagno Vignoni, visited by famous people and pilgrims. Already inhabited in the Etruscan period, the Val d’Orcia keeps architectural vestiges from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.

Il caloroso e benevolo accoglimento riservato dagli interessati dice chiaramente quanto fe lice sia stata l'iniziativa e quanto brillanti siano stati i risultati raggiunti, che si sono palesati anche maggiori di quelli previsti. Infa tti la valorizzazione del materiale, oltre all'ordinamento ed alla inventariazione degli atti, presupponeva anche lo studio accurato delle ori­ gini e delle competenze dell'ufficio o dell'ente che quegli atti aveva prodotto.

    Monte Nisa The villa, the surroundings. 2 The Villa: The surroundings: Website: https://www.montenisa.com/ ● short story ● around the villa ● the position ● Florence ● contacts ● Siena ● photo 3 The villa Monte Nisa Monte Nisa is a villa overlooking the Chianti hills of San Casciano in Val di Pesa. This is a holiday home consisting of two apartments that can accommodate 6 people each for a total of 12 people, No meals or other professional services are provided, just a whiff of a tourist destination. It is possible to rent the entire property for exclusive use - "Total Nisa" or just one apartment - "Terra Nisa" for the ground floor apartment, "Sopra Nisa" for the first floor apartment. By renting the entire structure you have the exclusive use of the swimming pool and the park, while if you rent an apartment the pool and park are shared with the guests of the other apartment. 5 La storia Monte Nisa is a villa built in 1934 on the top of a hill in Tuscany, in the Chianti Classico wine production area. Its quiet, panoramic and sunny position was chosen with great care and passion by the first owner, named Manetti, and the original toponym of "Villa Manetto" derived from his name. Manetti designed the villa to make it his "buen retiro" following and personally directing the construction work and taking care of every little detail. Subsequently the heirs sold the villa which since then experienced a troubled period, becoming from time to time a summer colony, recreational club, warehouse and even military command during the Second World War, suffering damage due to cannon fire.

And as we pedal and step, we also eat and drink our way across these most delicious areas of this most delectable country! Tuscany, with its lovely wheat-covered hills, is tough for bicyclists, but Wis a fantastic place to hike from one medieval town to another. Umbria, centered on the large and flat Umbrian plain with hilltop towns on either side, offers bike routes for all ability levels. We spend half our time on foot in Tuscany and the other half on bikes in Umbria, capitalizing on each region’s wonderful geography and culinary experiences. You’ll appreciate the difference and will return home with fond memories of the vast array of pastas, pizzas, local vegetables, bruschettas, and Italian vinos experienced in one short – but full! – week of your life. I T I N E R A R Y D A Y O N E . We will meet you either in the fthe regional wine capital of Montepulciano (if you have arrived the day before), or at the nearby rail station at Chiusi.

You begin in Florence and spend the night at a beautiful hotel in the hills of Fiesole. Head off the beaten path and explore picture-perfect hilltop towns and ancient abbeys. From the Umbrian border, stroll past abundant valleys, glowing meadows of irises, fields laced with vineyards and extraordinary clay dunes. Each day’s leisurely pace is interspersed with samplings of local specialties and conversations with Italians who share their heritage as we roam the cypress-lined roads. Continue in the southern part of Tuscany, known as the Val d’Orcia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We’ll discover the towns of Pienza with its charming alleys lined with small pecorino cheese shops, artisan workshops and centuries-old palaces, Montalcino, a fortress dominating the view on the surrounding hills, and of course the vineyards of Brunello red wine. The last part of the tour will bring us to the “Crete Senesi,” an area famous for its characteristic landscape and spectacular views of the Tuscan countryside dotted with cypress and small farms and villas perched on top of the numerous hills of this region.
