Anello San Quirico d'Orcia - Capella di Vitaleta |
|
|
|
| |
|
Itinerary in the great scenery of the Val d’Orcia, in a picture-perfect setting, just about 26 km north of Podere Santa Pia. There is no difficulty in following the track. It is a magical moment when you reach the Cappella di Vitaleta, a small chapel gracing many postcards.
And a visit to the picturesque medieval village of San Quirico d'Orcia is a must. The highlights of the town are two Romanesque churches, the honey-colored Collegiata, famous for its three beautifully carved portals, and the smaller Chiesetta di Santa Maria Assunta, also known as Santa Maria or Santa Maria ad Hortos as it is surrounded by gardens, the Horti Leonini and the Giardino delle Rose.
San Quirico host a handful of good restaurants. This itinerary ends at one of them, Osteria Il Garibaldi, hidden behind a Tamoil gas station along the Via Cassia.

This chapel, surrounded by a few cypress trees and a farm is among photographers one of the most popular spots. And this is for a reason.

Podere Santa Pia is a large Tuscan country house sitting on a hill dominating the Ombrone and Orcia Valleys, two of the most beautiful valleys in Tuscany, 70 km south of Siena. This part of southern Tuscany, known as the Maremma, is a wonderfully peaceful and very beautiful unspoilt area, ideal for a quiet holiday.
Podere Santa Pia is a beautiful stone farmhouse only 2 km away from Castiglioncello Bandini. The main house is spacious, comfortable and well furnished and offers its guests a breathtaking view over the Maremma hills.
