Villa Belvedere - sleeps 8 Monticchiello - Pienza (Siena)

A beautiful villa dominating Monticchiello and Pienza

Belvedere is a wonderful villa set on a landscaped position dominating Monticchiello and Pienza whose territory forms part of the artistic, natural and cultural park of the Val d'Orcia.

The history of Pienza (or città di Pio), few km far, is closely linked to the great humanist pope Pius II who transformed in 1458 this ancient town and his birth place into a perfect example of architecture and urban design. Judging by the attention paid to it today, the ambitious project was a crowning success, attracting visitors from home and abroad. The Commune of Pienza includes the castle of Monticchiello and other south jewels of Siena which were significant throughout the medieval period. The Commune has retained his prevalently agricultural character linked to the wines, most typical and well known product of his area, and particularly to the production of famous cheeses.

In villa Belvedere, landscaped garden and a covered patio afford guest private areas in which to relax and enjoy unforgettable dinners outside.
