The experience
The pace belongs to another era, and that is the point. A classic car changes the way you look out of the window: you go slower, you stop more, and the road becomes the journey again.
- Route: Siena → San Quirico d'Orcia → Pienza → Bagno Vignoni → Siena
- On request: Posta Marcucci
- A private itinerary, for your group only

The questions we're asked most
Where is the Val d'Orcia?
In southern Tuscany, south of Siena, across the municipalities of San Quirico d'Orcia, Pienza, Castiglione d'Orcia, Radicofani and Montalcino. It is about forty minutes by road from Siena and an hour and a half from Florence.
How long do you need there?
One day is enough to cross it and stop in two villages. Two days add Montalcino and Montepulciano without rushing, and leave time to actually get out of the car.
Why is the Val d'Orcia a UNESCO site?
Since 2004, as a cultural rather than a natural landscape: the valley was reorganized by the Republic of Siena in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, and that agricultural structure is still legible. Pienza has been listed separately since 1996.
Can you drive a supercar in the Val d'Orcia?
Yes. Driving days depart from Siena or Florence, with pick-up and drop-off at the same point. The main roads are paved and wide; the white gravel roads are best avoided in a low-slung car.
When is the best time to come?
From mid-April to June the wheat is green, by June it turns gold, and after the autumn plowing the bare clay remains. In every season the first hours of the morning give the best light.
