Hidden Tuscany, between art and nature

This route will allow you to discover Tuscany Minor and its hidden treasures. In the region of Siena stand some of the most characteristic sites of the region: perched on top of a hill, the ancient village of Monteriggioni has retained its beautiful enclosure of medieval walls, and, in Chiusdino, the Abbey of San Galgano is a ruined hermitage which contains a mysterious sword stuck in the rock. The Val d´Orcia, a vast emblematic valley with winding hills dotted with cypresses and vineyards, is the ideal place to dive into the heart of dazzling pastoral beauty. Pienza is considered the embodiment of the Renaissance utopia of the creation of an “ideal city”.
