High on a gentle hillock overlooking the peaceful Val d' Orcia and the distant 5,700 ft. summit of Tuscany's highest mountain peak, Mt. Amiata lies Castello di Velona. Because of its location, The Castello is an ideal starting point for an exploration of the many mountain towns of the Val d' Orcia region, so-named because of the River Orcia. Montalcino is only 9 km away and Montepulciano among the better known for their prized wines - but popular tourist destinations such as Castiglione d'Orcia, Vivo d'Orcia, San Quirico d'Orcia, Monticchiello and Pienza. |
