That Tuscany that you have admired a million times in images and postcards has remained whole and authentic.
The territory of the Sienese Crete that enfolds the townships of Asciano and Rapolano Terme is characterized by an infinite succession of biancane and calanchi (gullies).
The first ones recognizable fo r their typical small white dome shape that shine when sunny, are concentrated particularly along the Lauretana Road, between Siena and Asciano.
Whereas the gullies recognizable from their “knife blade” shaped deep furrows in the ground, can be admired between Asciano and Rapolano terme and in the entire area around the Abbey of Monteoliveto.
Come and discover the breathtaking views travelling on any road that spreads out from the ancient village of Asciano.
But the Crete Senesi aren’t just spas, art, culture, spirituality, good food and that genuine hospitality that has made Tuscany one of the most known places in the world.
The Crete Senesi are four communities that enfold a magic territory.
