VILLA LA LAVANDA - CONTIGNANO VAL D'ORCIA
8 Bedrooms
Location and Surrounding Area
Immersed in the peaceful Tuscan countryside, this masterfully-restored, eight-bedroom property is ideally located to explore the region’s cultural highlights and most spectacular natural wonders. With wonderful views of the surrounding greenery, this exclusive property is the perfect location for unforgettable day trips to the most beautiful towns in Tuscany and provides a unique opportunity to admire its splendid landscapes while soaking up the region’s incredibly rich historical and cultural heritage.
Tuscany is famous for its natural springs, whose waters, after having carved the rocks, flow aboveground and create natural pools in which you can bathe and restore your psychophysical balance. The villa is close to Chianciano Terme, one of the most renowned thermal bath towns in Europe, whose waters are famous for their therapeutic properties. In thirty minutes by car, you can reach San Casciano dei Bagni. Known for its mineral-rich waters, it boasts a luxurious spa center enhanced by a flourishing natural setting.
The villa is also a few kilometers from the town of Pienza, also known as “the ideal city of Renaissance”, and the medieval town of Montepulciano. Standing high atop a hill not far from Siena, Montepulciano boasts elegant Renaissance palaces, ancient churches, charming squares and breathtaking views over the wonderful Val d’Orcia. In thirty minutes by car, you can reach the medieval town of Montalcino, extremely well-known for the production of its Brunello red wine, one of the world’s most appreciated Italian wines.
The villa is also a few kilometers from the medieval town of Siena. Its ancient red brick buildings, the scallop-shaped main square Piazza del Campo and the Cathedral Square, dominated by the zebra-striped Duomo, make it an absolute must for anyone traveling to Tuscany. Effectively an open-air museum celebrating the Gothic, Siena boasts secular monuments that have retained both their medieval forms and their exceptional art collections, providing plenty to marvel at.
