The Val d'Orcia is not only a valley full of poetry.

The Val d'Orcia Park is situated just on south of Siena including the area between Chianciano Terme, another popular thermal spring, until Radicofani, almost at the slopes of Amiata Mountain.

Traversed by the ancient Via Francigena, it's an area rich of high quality local products such as "pecorino", a typical laboriously prepared cheese, or as the oil, which is much less acidic that usual oils. This area is also one of the most wine producers of Italy with its seven-five million litres of wine a year, most of them enjoying the protective DOCG denomination. Therefore you can't miss to buy a bottle of the magic red-rubin "Brunello di Montalcino", famous all over the world, or to taste the remarkable "Nobile di Montepulciano".
