Location

The villa is situated in Val d`Orcia, a few kilometres from Pienza, a town in the province of Siena renowned for its cheese and which Pope Pius II, in the world Enea Silvio Piccolomini, decided to transform into the ideal town.

Piccolomini, who ascended to the papal throne in 1458, had the castle of Corsignano, in which he was born, completely rebuilt according to Leon Battista Alberti`s architectural principles. The works began in 1459 and three years later Pope Pius II elevated the castle to town status and changed its name to Pienza.

A stay at the villa is an excellent occasion not only to visit the nearby castle of Spedaletto and the many cities of art situated within a few kilometres, but also to taste the pecorino cheese, the pici (a sort of handmade fresh spaghetti) and all of the other Sienese traditional dishes.
