Hotels in Val d'Orcia, Italy

Val d'Orcia is a UNESCO World Heritage site in southern Tuscany, famous for its sweeping hills dotted with cypress trees and medieval hilltop villages. The climate is Mediterranean, with hot summers (around 30°C / 86°F) perfect for hiking between towns like Pienza and Montalcino, and mild winters (about 5°C / 41°F) ideal for tasting the region's red wines by a fireplace. For the best views of those famous rolling landscapes, head to the chapel of Madonna di Vitaleta in spring when the fields are lush green.
