Tuscany, with its unparalleled beauty and rich cultural heritage, is one of the most fascinating and sought-after regions in Italy. Within this territory, the province of Siena and the Florentine countryside represent the perfect base to fully immerse yourself in the heart of Tuscany.
The gentle Tuscan hills, with their slopes covered with vineyards and olive groves and dotted with picturesque medieval villages, offer breathtaking landscapes with timeless beauty. These places are ideal for those seeking refuge from the stress of daily life, but also for those who want to experience authentic food and wine. In Tuscany, some of the best wines in the world are produced, including Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, and Nobile di Montepulciano.
Within this enchanting setting, a veritable natural film set, you'll find the four UNESCO sites in the province of Siena: the historic centers of Siena, San Gimignano, Pienza, and the gentle hills of Val d'Orcia, as well as small gems rich in history and tradition such as San Casciano in Val di Pesa, Greve and Panzano in Chianti, and Volterra.
Our extensive real estate portfolio is carefully selected and reflects the diversity of these territories: from a country farmhouse surrounded by prestigious vineyards to a villa at the city gates; from a property to renovate overlooking the Crete Senesi hills to an apartment in the center with a view of the rooftops. Our qualified international team will guide you in choosing the property that best suits your needs, accompanying you step by step in the purchase or rental of the property of your dreams.
The timeless beauty of Siena and Tuscany
The city of Siena, with its famous Piazza del Campo, enchants visitors with its medieval architecture and artistic treasures. But Tuscany offers much more: gentle rolling hills covered with vineyards and olive groves, medieval villages intact in their splendor, a renowned food and wine tradition, and cities of art such as Florence, Volterra, and San Gimignano that offer timeless emotions. Investing in a property in Tuscany means embracing a refined lifestyle and immersing yourself in a cultural and landscape heritage that is unique in the world.
Beyond Siena, Tuscany offers a myriad of splendid locations to explore. Imagine owning a dream villa immersed in the gentle hills of Chianti, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. Or perhaps a renovated farmhouse with panoramic views of Val d'Orcia, a UNESCO heritage site. With Engel & Völkers, you can find the property that embodies the authentic Tuscan lifestyle.
Siena is a city with medieval charm, famous worldwide for its celebrated Palio, which takes place twice a year in the famous Piazza del Campo. The gentle hills of Chianti, famous for their fine wines, invite pleasant walks among vineyards and olive groves. The Crete Senesi, with their clay soils that take on unique chromatic tones, offer breathtaking panoramas that seem painted. Val d'Orcia, a UNESCO heritage site, enchants with its verdant hills, medieval villages, and natural thermal baths. The Florentine countryside preserves an authentic flavor and wonderful scenic views that offer peace and tranquility with the advantage of having city services a short distance away. Volterra, an Etruscan and Roman capital, a pearl of medieval art, a crossroads of peoples, a treasure chest of works of art, is also known for alabaster production. And we cannot forget San Gimignano, with its famous towers that dominate the landscape and create a magical atmosphere.
