See The Lovely Lucciola Bella Nature Reserve On Holiday In Siena

The rolling green hills and pretty medieval towns of Tuscany get mentioned a lot around here and for good reason; these iconic images of the region, as presented in books and on screens are often the motivating factor for people to first have an interest in visiting Tuscany in order to see it for themselves and they are, indeed, truly stunning. While a villa in Tuscany and a drive in almost any direction on almost any road is likely to produce incredible scenery sooner rather than later, there are, of course, some areas that are among the most visited, photographed, and written about for their particular aesthetic merit. One such area is the impossibly picturesque Lucciola Bella Nature Reserve in Pienza, at the heart of the Arcadian Val d'Orcia.

The incredible natural beauty of the area is reason enough for anyone interested in a holiday in Tuscany to immediately go browse our listings and find a vacation rental in the Val D’Orcia. This is the picture-perfect Tuscany of your dreams; the lush rolling hills punctuated by medieval hilltop towns, winding roads, lines of cypresses, olive groves, vineyards, and pretty stone farmhouses. It is a place where every vista is picturesque and worth framing, though some particular spots have become especially famous and sought out to be photographed among savvy travellers who are after the perfect shot. One such spot is the Oak delle Checche, a very famous and protect oak tree.

Pienza is a small village in the Val d'Orcia in southern Tuscany. Set high atop a hill, overlooking the Orcia Valley, it has extraordinary views, and is often known as the "ideal Renaissance city”.

The creation of the great humanist Enea Silvio Piccolomini, who later became Pope Pius II, the town was his birthplace, originally called Corsignano. He transformed it into his idea of a Utopian city, what would eventually come to be known as Pienza. If you want to wander the streets of an ideal town for yourself find a luxury villa in Pienza!

The Papal Palace, or Palazzo Piccolomini, is located to the right of the Duomo has a large loggia with hanging garden from which there are breathtaking views across the Val d'Orcia Valley. This is the highlight of the town, the garden in particular.

A beautiful property in a beautiful setting. The owner is obviously very proud of his home and takes great care to ensure that everything is well maintained and clean. The owner had limited English but we didn't find this a problem. Having some form of transport is essential as the property is about 15 minutes drive to the nearest supermarket. We didn't find the close proximity to the road a problem at all. We would definitely return.

We very much enjoyed our stay. It is a wonderful location close to both Pienza and San Quirico by car. There is a beautiful view from the pool and we were in swimming a lot to cool off (it was very hot during our stay). Grocery shopping is best in San Quirico at the Co-op. Friendly and very helpful owner. The apartment was spacious with good sized bedrooms and well-equipped kitchen.

Very Good 4^/5   Villa Review Rating Details

Nous avons bien apprécié la location du grand appartement type maisonnette. Nous étions une famille de quatre personnes et avec trois chambres séparées. L\'espace était bien suffisant et il ne manquait rien de particulier au niveau de l\'équipement. Un accès direct à la superbe piscine que nous n\'avons que peu utilisé car le temps n\'était pas très beau. Un bon rapport avec les propriétaires malgré la différence de langue. La situation est cependant assez éloignée de tout commerce (magasin, restaurant etc.) ce qui est une difficulté à prendre en compte. À recommander à ceux qui recherchent le calme et la quiétude des grand espaces de la Toscane.

Excellent Villa and location, only negative comment would be that the living area would benefit from comfortable seating such as a sofa as there was only a timber dining table and chairs.

Great place to stay. Only 8km from Pienza and not far from other areas. The apartment was very clean and well equipped. It had clearly been renovated recently but still retained the villa feel. Each apartment also has its own outdoor seating area and the pool is beautiful.
