The place
The Val d’Orcia has been painted and photographed for centuries, yet it still feels like a place people live in rather than visit.
Podere Lucciola sits at the end of a white gravel road. From the loggia you can see three villages and, on a clear evening, Monte Amiata.
Where we stay
Podere Lucciola
A stone farmhouse with a loggia, a walled garden and writing rooms that look out over the valley.
