Val d’Orcia, located in Tuscany, is perhaps the most beautiful country area in Italy.
Maybe its name doesn’t sound familiar, but you have almost certainly already seen it, at least once on the big screen, while watching Ridley Scott’s Gladiator.

Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2004, Val d’Orcia is dotted with villages of medieval origin, combined with a lush vegetation that make this area truly unique.
The area’s distinctive tree is the cypress, a symbol of eternal life in Persia.
We also have, many agritourism farms based right here in the hills of Val d’Orcia.
In addition, in the area runs the world-famous Via Francigena, an important religious and trade route also used by the Crusaders to reach the southern region of Puglia and thus embark for Jerusalem.

Thanks to its distinctive landscape, and the riches it produces, Val d’Orcia also stands out as a destination for luxury travel and exclusive leisure: after all, in such vast countryside, it’s impossible to resist the temptation to take a horseback ride or enjoy a relaxing afternoon playing golf.
So not only luxury hotels but also exclusive clubs and historic luxury villas surrounded by a view celebrated by painters of the Sienese school, which flourished during the Renaissance, a view that is still perfectly preserved.
What better place to give some well-deserved rest to your body and mind?

Hotel Il Borgo Castello Banfi
The luxury hotel Il Borgo is located in the ancient historic village that lies at the foot of Castello Banfi di Poggio alle Mura, within Montalcino.
It is hard to imagine a more exclusive location than Poggio alle Mura, whose castle dates back to about the year 900, Charlemagne’s era to be clear, but whose origins go back at least to Etruscan times, as some findings made during a restoration of the castle itself suggest.
And particularly shaped stones present in the entrance arch suggest that it was also a Roman domus: in short, one could say that the land of Poggio alle Mura has lived many lives and seen thousands and thousands of people over the centuries.
![](https://www.esperiri.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/luxury-hotel-val-d-orcia-hotel-il-borgo-poggio-alle-mura.jpg)
The historic hamlet that once housed the farmers who worked under the jurisdiction of Castello Banfi has now been repurposed to give first class accommodation in the rooms and suites of Hotel Il Borgo.
A place rich in history and beauty.
Immerse yourself in the enchanting Tuscan countryside and let the management of Il Borgo take care of your every need.
All stay options include, among other first-class amenities, a Banfi wine tasting, an exclusive discount on the wines at the Enoteca, access to the outdoor technogym and to the heated swimming pool.

If you decide to go for the most prestigious option, the Poggio all’Oro Suite, a full 110 square meters, you will also have an exclusive list of wines from the best vintages, directly from the Poggio all’Oro Riserva collection.
The aesthetics proper to the Tuscan tradition, the Made in Italy taste for fine living, and the sumptuous lifestyle, all reflected in the sophisticated luxury furnishings are a demonstration of high-end interior design that leaves nothing to chance.
The masterful use of the classic sensibility that has been employed to furnish the interiors makes the ambience bright and welcoming, and the palette used favors soft, soothing nuances, such as the pastel shades of the sofas and the gleaming hues of the wood.

Golf Club Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco
The Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco is not just another luxury hotel.
In fact, it is also home to an exclusive golf club, simply named The Club.

The property is located in Montalcino and enjoys an enchanting view of the countryside.
Rosewood guarantees its guests all the comforts of a luxury hotel combined with the most exclusive pleasures a golf enthusiast could wish for: first and foremost, one of the most prestigious golf courses in all of Europe, designed by champion Tom Weiskopf and perfectly set in the lush Tuscan countryside.
The Club is exclusively reserved for members and Rosewood guests, who can access it in a time slot reserved for them, with equipment and golf cart rentals available.
![](https://www.esperiri.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/luxury-hotel-val-d-orcia-rosewood.jpg)
When it comes to accommodation, the Rosewood management provides you with beautiful, tastefully furnished suites and, if you don’t want to give up intimacy and privacy, also as many as eleven historic luxury villas, specially restored and embellished with period furnishings to fully enjoy the natural beauty of the country location.
The largest of all, Villa Biondi, includes five bedrooms, so it can accommodate up to ten people and has a large swimming pool and a pool house.
Surrounded by large gardens dotted with fragrant herbs, it is characterized by its shaded panoramic terraces, a highly refined interior design inspired by Tuscan rural tradition, but above all by that delightful intimacy that only a stately villa of this type can offer.
In addition, the hotel will put a Land Rover Defender 4×4 at your disposal for the duration of your stay, to be used at leisure.

And if after playing golf you still have energy to spare, why not enjoy a trip to the heart of Montalcino, to admire the beautiful Palazzo dei Priori?
An authentic jewel of architecture unique in the world, testifying to the profound culture of beauty from which Made in Italy luxury design descends.

Villa Nereo
If the intimacy and exclusivity of the location are must-have values for your luxury trip, then Villa Nereo might be the right place for you.
It is a luxury villa located on a hillside in the heart of Val d’Orcia, and it is the ideal option for those who want all the comforts of an exclusive hotel without sacrificing the tranquility and privacy of a real home.
![](https://www.esperiri.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/luxury-hotel-val-d-orcia-villa-nereo.jpg)

It contains nine bedrooms for a total capacity of fourteen people, as well as a gym, spa and two swimming pools.
The interiors, light and bright thanks to the soft nuances of wood, are embellished with handmade furniture and handcrafted finishes, for a refined and elegant lifestyle.

The Ultima Pietra vineyard overlooks the small medieval village of Trequanda, where the nights are cool and mild even in summer, while the olives and French grapes get ripe under the warm Tuscan sun, to be then processed and sold as fine wine and oil, according to the tradition of the area.

Grand Hotel Continental
If, on the other hand, you are a fan of the Palio of Siena and do not want to miss it at all, or need to stay in the capital, maybe only for the night, then the ideal place to stay is undoubtedly the Grand Hotel Continental, right in the historic center of Siena, just a short walk from Piazza del Campo, exactly where the Palio takes place and where the beautiful Duomo is located.
![](https://www.esperiri.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/starhotels-collezione-siena-boutique-hotel-grand-hotel-continental-exterior-view-2.jpg)
![](https://www.esperiri.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/luxury-hotel-val-d-orcia-grand-hotel-continental.jpg)
The Continental in Siena, belonging to the Starhotels chain, is housed in a splendid 16th-century historic building in which the chandeliers, terracotta floors and ceiling frescoes still survive.
The Continental’s top-of-the-line hospitality is undoubtedly the Panoramic Suite, on the top floor of the building, in the two-story turret that stands out for its incomparable view of Siena and the surrounding countryside.
The perfect recipe for enjoying the historic city center, pampered with all the comforts a 5-star hotel can provide, plus the privacy and tranquility of an exclusive designer apartment.
![](https://www.esperiri.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/luxury-hotel-val-d-orcia-grand-hotel-continental-panoramic-suite.jpg)
The interiors are cozy and bright, and furnished with a fairly classic sensibility influenced by local tradition while the living room exposed beams are masterfully complemented by shades of brown and matte white.
Since you are so close to it, a trip to the Cathedral of Siena is definitely recommended.

Would you like to enjoy a nice horseback ride through the beautiful hills of Val d’Orcia?

The ultimate treat in relaxation and privacy, in the heart of the Val d’Orcia.
A short walk takes you to a gym and private spa, and a little further on there is also a swimming pool with Jacuzzi.

In addition , there is also the Villa Panoramica, sheltered in the shadows of cypress trees on an avenue typical of the local landscape.
It contains six double rooms with en suite bathrooms and is embellished with bleached wooden beams and terracotta floors.
The reason for its name is not hard to imagine: it enjoys a truly ultra-exclusive view thanks to its position overlooking the entire Val d’Orcia; from here you can even see the fortress Rocca di Radicofani.

![](https://www.esperiri.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/luxury-hotel-val-d-orcia-villa-panoramica.jpg)
However, the main core of the Podere’s hospitality is undoubtedly the villa Tuscany, the option designed especially for equestrian lovers.
There are 30 hectares of land to discover in peace and quiet, with a lovely pond and unique views around every corner.
The property contains 4 double rooms with en suite bathrooms and 2 luxury apartments with kitchens.
