L'Agriturismo Metina rises on a hill dominating the fertile Valdichiana near the magic Val d'Orcia, famous for its production of oil, wine and wheat. Situated 300 metres a.s.l., Metina offers the possibility to have a stay for the care of your body (thanks to its position relative to Montepulciano spa), to visit cities of art, churches, museums, and to know our gastronomic culture made by our extra virgin oil, wines like the Chianti, the Nobile di Montepulciano and the Brunello di Montalcino or foods like the beefsteak and the sheep-cheese.

The territory of the Valdichiana is the ideal place for trekking, to ride horses and to for trips on mountain bikes, crossing ways and paths with cypresses and pines, still walking through the typical tuscan landscape: olive-groves, vineyards, woods and cultivated fields. The Chiusi lake , the Montepulciano lake and the Trasimeno lake offer the possibility to fish, to row, surf and bird-watching. It is also possible to make excursions by boat, which are very interesting and fascinating shows not only for the lover and the expert but also for the person looking for a direct contact with the wild nature of these environments.

Lots of oil-mills still work with an "ancient" art to make the famous Extra Virgin olive oil.
Lots of dairies around Pienza offer the possibility to see how they realize the famous Pienza's sheep-cheese. You have not to forget the savory "chianina" meat which is, thanks to its strong characteristics, very selective and esteemed.
