This charming Tuscany country hotel is in the Crete Senese, within the picturesque triangle of country edged by Buonconvento, Pienza and Sinalunga. This medieval treasure is just 40 minutes by car from Siena, 20 minutes from Montalcino or Montepulciano and only five minutes from San Giovanni D'Asso.
Le Crete Senese is an extraordinarily beautiful area of Tuscany. This region, which spreads out south from Siena, is possibly what most of us picture when we visualise vacations in Tuscany. Tidily parcelled out fields roll over hills of the most fertile farmland. Vineyards and olive groves gently recede to the horizon – the perfect location for one of the more charming Tuscany country hotels.
Here you’ll find the vineyards that produce the grapes for Montepulciano and Montalcino – this two star hotel in southern Tuscany, close to Siena – lies within one of the world’s finest wine areas. You can explore the uplands of Monte Amiata. Though close to Siena, the Crete Senese is a thinly populated area – you’ll probably see more sheep than people – with clay hillsides topped by lines of cypresses and the occasional solitary farmhouse.
Within striking distance of this two star hotel in southern Tuscany, you’ll find historic monasteries, such as the Cistercian San Galgano and the Benedictine Monte Oliveto Maggiore. And this most finely placed of Tuscany country hotels puts you within reach of the centuries-old spa villages of Bagno Vignoni, Bagni di Petrioli and Saturnia, with their healing waters.
