Your home base to explore the heart of Tuscany!
The farmhouse La Bruciata is located 2 km from Montepulciano (known as "The Pearl of the '500") in the direction of Pienza and it is situated in a strategic and central position to visit the heart of Tuscany. It takes its name from the homonymous farm located on the edge of the “Poliziano” territory, which faces the gentle and spectacular hills of the Val d'Orcia, that is UNESCO World Heritage Site as Artistic Natural and Cultural Park of the Val d'Orcia, where the dominant element of the landscape is constituted by symptoms of erosion that lay the clayey soil bare forming the famous "lunar landscape" (Crete Senesi).
Nearby there are many picturesque villages rich of beautiful and artistic history: Monticchiello (it can be reached by foot along the path through the woods), Pienza, Montefollonico, Montalcino, Bagno Vignoni, San Quirico d'Orcia, Bagni San Filippo, Cortona. While in about an hour you can reach famous Italian cities such as Siena, Perugia, Arezzo, Florence, Pisa, Orvieto, San Gimignano, Volterra, and in less than two hours the beautiful Rome.
We are in a unique land, made so by all who have known how to cultivate it with knowledge and love, from generation to generation, and famous throughout the world as "La Dolce Vita", for its wines as Nobile di Montepulciano and Brunello di Montalcino, the extra virgin olive oil, Pecorino di Pienza, the valued Chianina and Cinta Senese meat and for the inestimable artistic heritage of countless villages, abbeys (Sant'Antimo Abbey, Monte Oliveto Major Abbey and Sant'Anna in Camprena), castles, museums and landscapes that offer tours of well-being in the relaxing Spa of Montepulciano, Chianciano, Rapolano, Bagno Vignoni, Bagni San Filippo, San Casciano dei Bagni.
Thanks to its central position between the Via Francigena, which runs along the Val d'Orcia, and Lake Trasimeno, La Bruciata is the ideal starting point for many signposted and equipped trails for those who enjoy trekking, nordic walking, mountain biking or other excursion specialities and for who are looking for breathtaking views and perfect quality of life. Or if you are not passionate about these activities, we invite you to take a walk along the path to Monticchiello, starting from our farm, where you can enjoy the incredible sunset with stunning views of Pienza, Montepulciano and Monticchiello.
We love our earth and nature, and it is for this reason that for our guests, we have created a green paradise with a large garden with many different flowers and plants, where each of you will can find many corners to make their own to relax reading a good book in a hammock near the old oak or on our travertine terraces thinking about the delightful view of the landscape in front of you, or sipping a glass of good wine in the shade of a gazebo covered with flowers watching the magnificent scenery of the valley.
La Bruciata offers the opportunity to enjoy many experiences, the well manicured garden is also home to a beautiful swimming pool, always clean and fully equipped with sun umbrellas, tables and loungers for sunbathing by the pool in all peace.
During the week you can participate in various activities that we organize and we are available to inform you about the various guided tours that take place around us: cooking classes, wine tours, tastings of olive oil or the famous pecorino, lots of activities to give you the opportunity to live a memorable Tuscan experience, combined with healthy and natural food of our breakfasts and our traditional dinners homemade with the freshness of our products.
The hospitality, that we will reserve you, will be guaranteed by a family who has born and live in Tuscany by generations, who knows well the area, and will be glad to help you in any way it can do for you, starting from the first contact giving you an assistance in English.
