One of the world’s most iconic landscapes and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Pennella lies at the heart of this extraordinary region, just a few kilometres from some of Tuscany’s most beautiful villages.
The Val d’Orcia looks like a landscape brought to life from a painting: rolling hills, cypress trees, medieval castles and vineyards. Added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2004, it is one of the most photographed and celebrated areas in the world.
Pennella lies at the heart of this landscape, on a panoramic hilltop just 8 kilometres from Pienza. Its strategic location makes it easy to explore historic towns, wineries and natural hot springs, before returning each evening to the peace of your own private hill.
Every day, you can set out from the villa and discover a different village, each with its own history, wine and cuisine. Every evening, you will return with a new story to tell.
The Renaissance “Ideal City” and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Famous for Pecorino di Pienza cheese, its views over the Val d’Orcia and its beautifully preserved historic centre. The closest village to Pennella and a wonderful place to explore on foot early in the morning.

The Val d’Orcia is much more than its landscapes. It is a land of experiences: wine, traditional cuisine, natural hot springs, medieval festivals and cycling along white roads. From Pennella, you can enjoy all of this and return home to the villa every evening.
Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Orcia DOC. Some of the area’s finest wineries are just a few kilometres from the villa.
Bagno Vignoni, Bagni San Filippo and Bagni di Petriolo. Naturally warm waters surrounded by breathtaking landscapes.
Pecorino di Pienza, truffles, honey and extra virgin olive oil. Local markets are an essential part of the Tuscan experience.
Whether explored by bicycle or by car, the white roads of the Val d’Orcia are among the world’s most scenic routes. The legendary Eroica cycling route passes through this area.
Green wheat fields, poppies and soft light. The most photogenic season in the Val d’Orcia, ideal for those who love unspoilt landscapes.
Sunshine, the swimming pool and endless sunsets. The perfect season for Pennella: long days, outdoor dining and evenings beneath the stars.
The grape harvest, the warm colours of the countryside, local fairs and festivals. Autumn in Tuscany is extraordinary, with fewer visitors and a more authentic atmosphere.
Mist over the valley, complete silence and the fireplace glowing. A completely different experience for those seeking a more intimate and authentic side of Tuscany.
At Pennella, you have everything: the peace of the hill and some of Italy’s most beautiful villages within easy reach. It is not a compromise — it is the perfect location.
