Idyllium

Top choice in Val d'Orcia


Located underneath Palazzo Piccolomini and accessed via the staircase between the palace and the duomo, this hybrid cafe and cocktail bar in the former palace stables has a terrace with wonderful views over the Val d'Orcia and towards Monte Amiata. Owners Bledar Ndoci and Federico Fioravanti learned their mixology art in Milan and definitely make the best cocktails in town.

Food choices include club sandwiches (€9) and taglieri (cheese and meat boards, €15).
