About this house rental
Idyllic position, overlooking Monte Oliveto Maggiore abbey, with uninterrupted views that haven't changed for 400 years. The charming medieval village of Chiusure is a short drive. The Val d'Orcia is rightly one of the two most popular tourism destinations in Tuscany for both visitors from abroad and Italians visiting Tuscany. It's characterised by rounded hills, dense vineyards, olive groves and woods. Hill towns, thermal springs, Etruscan remains and nature reserves are all nearby. Sienna, Montepulciano and Montalcino are all around half an hour's drive. Lake Trasimeno, the largest lake in central and southern Italy is a 45 minute drive. The coast is less than a two hour drive.
A car is necessary. Nearest airport is Perugia, which is an hour away. Others: Florence is 90 minutes. Pisa just under two hours.
