La Foce

Historic Val d'Orcia estate with formal gardens and celebrated Tuscan views

La Foce is a historic estate in the Val d'Orcia, known for its formal gardens and the cypress-lined landscape that has become one of the classic images of southern Tuscany. It sits outside Montepulciano, so it is best planned as a countryside excursion rather than an in-town stop.

The gardens mix Italianate structure with wide views over the rolling valley, making the visit as much about landscape design as about the villa itself. Access is usually by guided visit, so check current opening arrangements before making the trip.
