Val d'Orcia: 5 Secret Gardens for a Summer in Tuscany

Planning a trip to Val d'Orcia in Tuscany, Italy this summer? 👀 You have a good taste! Here are 5 super beautiful villages in Val d’Orcia. Each one is a must-see destination. Take out your notebook and take note of it now! 🔹Pienza This is a UNESCO-certified Renaissance town and can be called the "heart" of the Orcia Valley. Strolling through the historic center, the cathedral and Piazza Pius II seem to tell ancient stories, while the Tuscan countryside in the distance is even more intoxicatingly beautiful. Before you leave, don’t forget to stop by the grocery store and try some of the local cheeses; you’ll definitely want to try them! 🧀 🔹San Quirico d'Orcia Not far from Pienza, this place has classic Tuscan scenery: rows of tall cypress trees, endless fields and long dirt roads, as if you have walked into the world of postcards. In addition to taking photos and checking in, there are also churches, palaces and other buildings worth exploring. The Horti Leonini Gardens are a model of Italian gardens. Walking through them, you feel like you are in a sea of ​​art. 🌳 🔹Bagno Vignoni It’s a charming little medieval village set on a hill, just a 5-minute drive from San Quirico d’Orcia. There is a breathtakingly beautiful rectangular Renaissance swimming pool in the main square of the village. This is also a hot spring village with a long history. Soaking in the hot springs and feeling the warmth of history is definitely a great enjoyment in life! 🛀 🔹Montepulciano Located 60 km south of Siena, it sits on a 600-meter-high hilltop with stunning panoramic views across the Tuscan countryside. The Piazza Grande is surrounded by magnificent palaces and the Church of San Biagio, and every corner exudes the scent of Renaissance treasures. Here, you can enjoy the perfect combination of history and nature. 🏞️ 🔹Monticchiello Although the village is small, it is by no means less charming. The 13th-century Church of San Leonardo and Cristoforo is a landmark here. It’s best explored on foot, but dinner on the terrace of La Porta restaurant at sunset is extremely romantic. 🌇 —— Finally, I would like to recommend a unique B&B located in the small town of Montepulciano.
