1. Val d\u2019Orcia in Tuscany: Useful things to know & initial travel tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Where is Val d\u2019Orcia and how do I get there?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Val d\u2019Orcia is located in the south of the Siena province<\/strong>, around an hour drive away from the province\u2019s capital of the same name, Siena. The valley is named after the river carrying the same name, Orcia river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Val d\u2019Orcia is relatively expansive and stretches itself over five districts altogether (and countless small villages). Simply for that reason alone, we definitely recommend you travel by car<\/strong>, so you can be as flexible as possible when you get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have two options: Either you do the entire stretch from Germany or Austria and back with your own car. (Although the 10-hour drive from Vienna already calls for a stop off.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The somewhat time-saving alternative: You fly and rent a car<\/strong> when you get there. When it comes to airports, Florence is at the top of the list. From there it still takes around a two-hour-drive until you reach Val d\u2019Orcia. Our tip: You can find cheap flights on Skyscanner<\/a>. We always book our rental cars through Sunny Cars<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
