12Val d’Orcia, Tuscany

Lined with cypress trees, textured with patchwork vineyards and dotted with rustic farmhouses, the Tuscan countryside is rural, manicured and serene, while its vibrant shades of green and yellow are a feast for the eyes.

The Val d’Orcia, encompassing Siena, Pienza and Montalcino, is one of the loveliest parts of the region.
