Antica Sosta

Here is a very pleasant walk suitable for everyone in the historic center of San Quirico d'Orcia. This is a typical Tuscan town nestled in the hills with 360 degree views over the surrounding countryside. There is no shortage of opportunities to sip some delicious local wine or taste ice cream between visiting one monument and another.

Be careful because the stretch of the route that connects San Quirico to Bagno Vignoni includes a very steep descent on a dirt road. If you do not...
