Crete Senesi

A lunar territory of heartbreaking Tuscan beauty.
(20 km from Villa a Sesta)

To the south-east of Siena lies an almost lunar territory, where the landscape becomes essential, made of clay ridges and gentle hills dotted with cypress trees: these are the Crete Senesi. In this surreal setting you can breathe the deepest authenticity of Tuscany, far from the most popular tourist circuits. Among the most representative villages, Asciano, Buonconvento and Rapolano Terme stand out. Don’t miss the natural spas and the country inns where you can taste intense dishes such as ribollita, stewed rabbit or ricotta desserts. An experience to be enjoyed slowly, perhaps at sunset, when the colours of the earth light up.
