Olive groves, long tables, and nowhere to be until dinner. A GoSmart specialist tailors the route, the stays, and the pace to you.
Why it works
Breakfast tasted like it came from the backyard because it did. Fresh eggs, local olive oil, and views across vineyards make it easy to understand why people come to Tuscany just to slow down.
Worth knowing
You need a car. The whole appeal is a farmhouse down a gravel road with hill towns scattered around it, and there is little public transport out here, so budget for a rental and comfort with narrow roads.
The magic is slowing down. One hill town, a long lunch, and an afternoon back at the farmhouse usually makes for a better day than racing through three villages.
Spring and fall are ideal: green hills and wildflowers in May, the grape and olive harvest in September and October. High summer is hot and busier.
About the place
The Val d'Orcia is the postcard Tuscany of solitary cypress rows and golden wheat, a UNESCO landscape, and the hill towns each reward the drive: Pienza for pecorino, Montalcino for Brunello, Montepulciano for the views.
