Villa Araldica in Siena-Val d'Orcia, Tuscany is a traditional Tuscan villa set among the gentle hills, vineyards and olive groves typical of the region. Strategically located near the UNESCO World Heritage town of Pienza and close to the picturesque hill town of Montalcino of Brunello wine fame, the villa offers easy access to all the riches Tuscany has to offer.

Villa Araldica is found at the end of an impressive long driveway lined with trees. Built in the 18th century, the estate has been restored with close attention to every detail. Beautifully painted tray ceilings, decorative columns and Palladian windows are some of the architectural touches that enhance this outstanding home.

Guests will enjoy a comfortable living room with an elaborate fireplace. The fully-equipped kitchen connects to the formal dining room. A media room features satellite TV and a well-stocked library, and there is a convenient office with WiFi Internet service.

Located not far from Rome with its historical sites, restaurants and shopping and Pisa with its famous Leaning Tower, the villa is nestled among the walled towns and celebrated wineries that make Tuscany so desirable. The Baths of Chianciano are just minutes away, and scenic Lake Trasimeno is less than an hour's drive.
