Val di Chiana
The Chiana Valley is a vast territory. has its boundaries in the city of Arezzo in the North and Orvieto in the South. In this valley lived important Etruscan populations: Arezzo, Cortona, Chiusi and Orvieto. Homeland of the famous wine “Nobile di Montepulciano”, a land of important Thermal Centres like Chianciano Terme and San Casciano dei Bagni, also offers a wide selection of the best local products such as Pecorino cheese and extra virgin olive oil. Centuries of history have left the intriguing signs of their passage and of progressive developments. Man’s handiwork is visible in the towns and artworks, but also in the landscape. The drainage of the once swampy Chiana valley has endowed us with peaceful lake retreats in Chiusi and Montepulciano, just a short distance from Monte Cetona, a natural vantage point over the Sienese countryside.
