Torrita di Siena

The cluster sits in the Valdichiana Senese, with cultivated hills, arable fields and olive groves between Montepulciano, Sinalunga and the first rises toward the Crete Senesi. The nearest substantial towns are Montepulciano and Sinalunga, with day-to-day services, stations on the local rail line in the valley, and historic centres on the hilltops. Montepulciano, within this radius, is a walled hill town known for Renaissance buildings and Vino Nobile. Pienza and the Val d’Orcia UNESCO landscape are nearby but outside the immediate 15 km landscape from Torrita di Siena. The area is known for wine, olive oil and mixed farming.
