Various information
The Sassone B&B Holiday Home is located in Vivo d'Orcia, a district of Castiglione d'Orcia, in one of the most picturesque corners of the Val d'Orcia, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site for its remarkable balance between natural landscapes and human settlements. The village sits at an altitude of 920 meters, making it the highest point on Monte Amiata, and maintains an authentic character, surrounded by a mountainous landscape filled with tall chestnut and beech forests, where nature takes center stage in every season.
This area is perfect for those seeking tranquility, clean air, and breathtaking views, as well as for adventure seekers. From the garden of the property, guests have direct access to a network of trails that wind through the surrounding woods, leading to the source of the Vivo stream and the summit of Monte Amiata, an ancient volcano that attracts hikers, cyclists, and winter sports enthusiasts.
In just a few minutes by car, one can reach iconic spots in the Val d'Orcia, such as Bagni San Filippo, known for its natural hot springs nestled in the woods, and Bagno Vignoni, famous for its monumental thermal pool located in the village center. A little further away, among gentle hills and cypress trees, lie the towns of Pienza, San Quirico, Monticchiello, and Montalcino, all rich in history, art, culinary traditions, and timeless views.
The location, at the boundary between the hilly heart of Val d'Orcia and the mountains of Amiata, allows for a variety of experiences: from relaxation in thermal baths to cultural visits in historic villages, and excursions into unspoiled nature. It is a still authentic region that can offer profound emotions to those who choose to explore it slowly.
