A small paradise in the Tuscan hills, in the heart of the Val d'Orcia, just a few minutes from Pienza....

Viery small town/village which on the Sun midday I visited was devoid of commerce. The village is at the end of the first and biggest of the "Big Climbs" out of the floor of Val d'Orcia. Take a moment and explore the older part with the cute houses many adorned with painted small rocks. You can also catch a fine view of Radicofani, still 10 - 15 K away but the Tower is now clearly visible.

It is really only possible to access the Radicofani tower via Via Marconi, as the original footpath and the small access road are both blocked. It is a bit of a climb, and has 'normal' opening hours and costs about €5 to enter. I would say it is worth it! My vertigo stopped me from going right to the top floor, but even from the next from top, the views over the valley are astounding, and the historical associations are rich.

Tuscan towns seem to divide into 2 categories, those on the "tourist trail" and those not. For some reason Radicofani seems to be "not", even though it is full of present-day charm and (often uncharging) history. It is a stiff climb to get to from the floor of Val d'Orcia, even when cycling while the walking effort is truly epic, but worth it! We stayed in an utterly charming tiny cottage, Casa del Ciliego, and ate in one of the numerous small restaurants - plenty were open, even on a quietist Sun evening. Stocked up in the amazing tiny grocery, hidden away in the ancient 'ghetto' part of the town. You can also buy enough to make a full meal quite easily here.

Interesting, but popular (i.e. crowded and busy) small Tuscan hill town. The walled garden is recommended for the interesting layout, and the statue of Lorenzo the Magnificent. Near the top of the steep descent out of town in the eventual direction of Radicofani, a large Restaurant/cafe/deli is to be found. Good place to have a coffee/breakfast, and to stock up on takeaway pizza for the journey.

Contignano is a charming medieval village in southern Tuscany, located in the enchanting Val d'Orcia. Contignano has very ancient origins, like all the villages in the Monte Amiata area. The first villas were built in Roman times. About 300 people live there. Contignano is about 65 km from Siena and 12 km from Radicofani. Some of the sights in Contignano are the old castle, the church and the chapel. Various events take place during the summer months, including the medieval festival and the famous ravioli festival.
