Castello di Ripa D'Orcia Castiglione d'Orcia

Castello di Ripa d'Orcia is situated in Tuscany's Val d'Orcia, just minutes away from Montalcino and Montepulciano (beautiful hilltop towns famous for their superb Brunello and Nobile wines). Pienza, and the spa towns of Bagno Vignoni and Chianciano Terme are, likewise, situated within easy reach of the Castello. The medieval city of Siena, where the Palio horse race is run, is less than an hour's drive from the residence, as is Umbria's wonderfully romantic Lake Trasimeno.
