Azienda Agricola Poderuccio
Pienza (Siena)
- Traveller rating:
The farm is located within the confines of the Parco Naturale e Artistico of the Val d?Orcia: this is the only area of Italy (and maybe the world) that has been awarded recognition as a World Heritage area by UNESCO by meeting two criteria. In fact, both the Val d?Orcia, (which includes Pienza, together with other gracious villages), and Pienza, which is thought to be the most ideal town of the Renaissance, are considered important World Heritage sites.
Our farm produces olive oil, saffron and wheat. Many of our products are used in the typical recipes of Tuscany that can be tasted in our little agriturismo restaurant. We prepare all our own pasta, as well as the pastries and jams for your breakfast.
Our guest mountain bike is available, at no extra cost, for excursions in the beautiful surrounding countryside. Besides Pienza, you can visit other medieval towns and villages of the Val d?Orcia, such as Monticchiello (3km), Bagni Vignoni (4km), San Quirico d?Orcia (8km), Montepulciano (15km) and Montalcino (23km). The beautiful Siena is a mere 40km from Pienza, and Florence.
You could also indulge yourself in the sulphuric thermal pools of Bagni San Filippo or enjoy the fresh air of the woods of Monte Amiata on a warm summers day (in less than half an hour by car you can reach the top).
