Unforgettable Tuscan Experiences
Go beyond the typical tourist path. From hunting wild truffles in our private woods to mastering handmade pasta with local village women, our curated collection of on-site activities and local excursions is designed to immerse you in the authentic Italian lifestyle.
Culinary Journeys
Tuscany is meant to be tasted. Whether you want to master handmade pasta with local nonnas, enjoy a private wine tasting from our historic cellar, or become a pizzaiolo at our 500-year-old brick oven, our culinary experiences are designed to immerse you in the flavors of Val d’Orcia.
Active Exploration
Step off the beaten path and discover the rugged beauty of the Italian countryside. Feel the breeze on an e-bike, ride horseback through rolling vineyards, hunt for culinary gold with our trained truffle dogs, or take an adrenaline-filled ATV tour through hidden backroads.
Unwind with Unrivaled Views
Embrace the Italian art of doing absolutely nothing. Nestled just below our 300-year-old olive groves, our panoramic pool is a tranquil sanctuary overlooking the sweeping hills of the Val d’Orcia. Whether you are enjoying a quiet morning swim, a lazy afternoon with a good book, or a sunset aperitivo by the water, it is the perfect place to recharge with the medieval towers of Montepulciano as your backdrop.
Tuscan Day Trips
Make La Chiusa your luxurious home base for exploring the breathtaking Val d’Orcia region. Whether you want a private driver to navigate the wine cellars of Montepulciano, a curated itinerary for the Renaissance streets of Pienza, or a guided tour of Siena, the very best of Tuscany is just a short drive from our gates.
