2Roll through the Tuscan countryside in Val d’Orcia
A tortuous route leads through the Val d’Orcia, a UNESCO World Heritage landscape.
This part of Tuscany has been landscaped since time immemorial, with the Val d’Orcia, south of Siena, representing quintessential Tuscany: clusters of cypresses, ribbons of plane trees, vineyards on the slopes and farms perched on limestone ridges.
“Castles are places were plots were hatched, marriages were consummated, murders carried out, royal babies born, and so on. With castles, you are never short of fascinating things to talk about.”
