Southeast of Siena, in the upper Orcia valley, lies the small village of Vivo d'Orcia. This is an area of stunning natural beauty, dominated by the ancient castle of the Cervini family and very convenient for Pienza and Bagno Vignoni and the famous wine-villages of Montalcino and Montepulciano. Siena, Florence, Orvieto and Assisi are all close enough for comfortable day trips and the fashionable seaside resorts of Porto Ercole and Punta Ala are an hour and a half away.
