A luxurious villa in the heart of the picturesque Sienese countryside, in the heart of the Val D'Orcia you find this typical Tuscan Sienese farmhouse surrounded by vineyards and recently restored to a beautiful and elegant country villa. The house is characterized by a central square building whose windows offer breathtaking views of this majestic countryside.
The landscape of the Val D'Orcia is perhaps one of the best preserved and most beautiful areas in Tuscany. The characteristic clay hills in a majestic setting with the Cetona mounts on one side and the Amiata on the other, has been photographed millions of times and can certainly conjure visions of Tuscany to anyone who's been dreaming about a vacation to Italy. In the wooded foothills are little towns and villages, often with their medieval castels towering above. There are also hot springs that have been known since Roman times.
There is a lot to explore in this area that will keep you coming back again and again. Pienza, San Quirico d'Orcia, Bagno Vignoni and Ripa d'Orcia are just a few of the quaint villages you will explore. The lesser known towns of Rocca d'Orcia with the spectacular Rocca di Tentennano, the picturesque little village Castliglione d'Orcia, Campiglia d'Orcia and Vivo d'Orcia and the hot springs of Bagni San Filippo are all within a few minutes drive.
Villa Pienza sits among this pretty countryside. It was just completed for the 2006 season, with elegant country style furnishings inside and out. Nearby there is a nature park where you can enjoy the peace, quiet and beauty of the surrounding area.

It has two comfortable sofas, a billiard table and some live plants to give the room an outdoor feeling yet it is protected from the elements.
