The area surrounding Podere Biricocolo is one of the most genuine and enchanting in Central Tuscany, a harmonious landscape where nature, history, and traditions coexist in perfect harmony. The hills between Siena and Arezzo create a gentle, rolling scenery filled with cultivated fields, olive groves, cypress trees, and villages that seem frozen in time. Here, the pace of life is slow, ideal for those wishing to escape the hustle and bustle of mass tourism and experience the truest essence of Tuscany.
Just a few kilometers away are the Crete Senesi, known for their almost lunar landscapes, which are particularly captivating in any season, and the Valdambra, a lesser-known region rich in quaint historic centers, Romanesque churches, and scenic roads perfect for driving or cycling. In about half an hour, one can also reach the Val d’Orcia, a UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its iconic views, white roads, vineyards, and charming towns like Pienza, Montepulciano, and San Quirico d’Orcia.
The Chianti Classico region is easily accessible and offers a comprehensive experience with historic wineries, tastings of fine wines, olive oil mills, and traditional restaurants where one can savor authentic Tuscan cuisine. Both Siena and Arezzo are close by, allowing for a delightful contrast between the tranquility of the countryside and the exploration of extraordinary art cities, with their historic centers, museums, monumental squares, and centuries-old traditions.
An added benefit of the region is its proximity to the Rapolano thermal baths, renowned for their warm sulfuric waters and spa complexes nestled in nature, perfect for a day of wellness and relaxation at any time of the year. The surroundings also provide numerous opportunities for walking, hiking, and gastronomic tours, featuring local festivals, markets, and farms where visitors can purchase typical products directly from the producers.
Staying in this area means experiencing an authentic and uncrowded Tuscany, where every journey reveals scenic views, rejuvenating silences, and a direct connection with the culture and landscape of one of Italy’s most cherished regions.
