A few ideas: experiences in Val d’Orcia ♥️

Hidden Pearls of Tuscany:
Many people know Bagno Vignoni, the ancient thermal bath whose tradition is dating back as far as Roman times.
But how many know Vignoni (Today Called Vignoni Alto), situated a couple miles away, uphill, who dominates the valley?
It's a tiny village of medieval atmosphere, that can only be reached by a dirt road, with its small lovely church dedicated to San Biagio. There is an ancient castle, Vignoni Castle, which was the residence of the Salimbeni Family in the thirteenth century and later of the Amerighi Family during the fifteenth century...
There is a handful of people living here, mostly artists and musicians...

Tuscany seems to be in the heart of everyone and in the dreams of many...In the past months I tried to give an idea of all the beauty that can be discovered, from the famous places to the hidden gems that only the locals know. I want to bring even more of this in your lives, so I decided to expand my point of view and to open a new page, "Pearls of Tuscany".
I'm gonna doing it with all my heart (and my resources too), so follow the page and stay tuned ❤️🤗

La toscana è nel cuore di tutti e molti sognano di vederla...nei mesi passati ho cercato di darvene un piccolo assaggio, dalle località iconiche e famose alle gemme sconosciute che conoscono solo le persone del posto. Vorrei portare nelle vostre vite ancora di più, quindi ho deciso di espandere la mia attività a una zona più vasta e meglio rappresentata e aprire una nuova pagina chiamata "Pearls of Tuscany".
Ci metterò tutto il mio impegno e il mio amore, quindi seguitemi ❤️🤗

The Pearl of the Renaissance, the city on a human scale, built by the will of pope Pio II, chosen for several movies, with her hanging garden, her incredible Dome full of paintings of the Sienese School, the perfect architecture of the piazza and the astounding landcape on the Val d’Orcia…
Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce you the one and only Pienza ♥️

Hidden pearls of Tuscany:
Ripa d’Orcia castle ♥️
Dating back at least to 1200, is a huge building complex, including an entire little borgo inside it’s walls.
To reach the place to drive a few km in a dirty road it’s needed.
The panoramic view is from the other side of the Orcia river.
Most of the visitors know the more bucolic look of the valley: rolling hills and cypress lined roads. But there is also this wild, ancient, slope, where the river forms gorges and the nature is not completely man domesticated 😎

🔴 Tuscany Icons: Vitaleta Chapel - Val d’Orcia 💒

The Chapel of the Madonna di Vitaleta (from the latin Vita Laeta - “happy life”) is located in San Quirico d’Orcia, on the road to Pienza. It actually is not so ancient as it seems. After the original ‘500 building collapsed, it was re-builded and totally re-designed in 1884, in the actual fake-new gothic style. The little church has been totally restored a couple of years ago and now is possible to see the inside too. Vitaleta is one of the most photographed locations in all of Tuscany

Pearls of Tuscany: Bagno Vignoni - Val d’Orcia

A few meters from the famous Roman thermal bath, hidden by a few stone steps, this well-stocked and characteristic shop keeps intact a tradition of authentic herbal medicine and choice of quality products. I often pass by, getting lost among the ceramics and essential oils ♥️

If you visit Siena and province during the Christmastime you can not fail to be tempted by the typical sweets: Ricciarelli, Cantucci, Cavallucci, Panforte, Panpepato and Copate... an entire world of spices and nuts! 🤤
