TO LE MACCHIE
Tuscany farmhouse
- Pienza, Val d'Orcia
Le
Macchie is a farmhouse in tuscany located in the
earth of the Val d'Orcia ., close to Pienza, Montepulciano
and Montalcino. The Val d'Orcia was added to Unesco's World
Heritage List in 2004 . The landscape of the Val d’Orcia
was celebrated by painters from the Siennese School, which flourished
during the Renaissance. Images of the Val d’Orcia, and particularly
depictions of landscapes where people are depicted as living in
harmony with nature, have come to be seen as icons of the Renaissance
and have profoundly influenced the development of landscape thinking.
For centuries this farmhouse, has been a part of this land where
the stretches of wheat, the olive groves, genista, oaks, the clay
earth of the Siena, Tuscany area, and Mount Amiata together establish
a unique natural context. In the heart of "Val d'Orcia" Natural
Park and of the natural reserve "Lucciola Bella", our farm
holidays is a few minutes from the principle medieval villages of
Val d'Orcia, such as Monticchiello, and its Castello dei Cavalieri
Templari, home of the renowed
teatro povero;

hometown of the distinguished humanist "Il Poliziano"; Montalcino
and its exceptional brunellos; Bagno Vignoni, a
