DESTINATIONS
Villa Mario is located in a strategic position in southern Tuscany, in the characteristics Siena hills, between Valdichiana and Val d'Orcia area.
At just 2 km away from the property there is San Casciano dei Bagni, the picturesque medieval village, known for its hot springs. In this village you will find some restaurants, bars and grocery shops so you can enjoy the pleasure of buying locally.
For wellness lovers, we recommend a visit to the nearby Fonteverde resort center (3 km) which is one of the best spas in Europe provided with natural hot springs from the underground.
Other easily accessible spas are: Montepulciano (with the charm of its Renaissance palaces and the pleasure of good wine), Chianciano Terme and Bagno Vignoni, which combine the tranquility and beauty of the landscapes with the pleasure of spending time with the body thanks to their amazing healing waters.
Another striking itinerary is the magnificent landscape of the Val d'Orcia, recognized in 2004 as UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here we can find small towns such as:
- Castiglione d'Orcia, a medieval village located on a steep rocky hill upon which stands the fortress of Tentennano;
- Montalcino, known for the production of the "Brunello" wine;
- Pienza, the town of Pius II, famous for the "pecorino cheese";
- Radicofani, was for centuries one of the most important strongholds in Italy, controlling the border of Lazio, Umbria and Tuscany;
- San Quirico d'Orcia, the heart of the Val d'Orcia and one of the most remarkable examples of medieval town planning.
Moreover we suggest to reach Cortona, Etruscan and Medieval town from Valdichiana area, built on a hilltop. It boasts a glorious past: the legendary de' Medici family ruled it in the 15th century. Dream destination and synonymous with elegance and historic charm, Cortona is placed in a perfect location, close to the border between Tuscany and Umbria.
Lastly, some famous tourist destinations in Umbria (like Lake Trasimeno, Perugia and Orvieto) are fairly close and easily reachable.
