Crete Senesi

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Crete Senesi, a wonderful area south-east of the city of Siena, welcomes you with breathtaking landscapes characterized by a suggestive blue-grey colour, given by the outcropping of clay from the ground. Here, you can admire enchanting cultivated fields, picturesque granaries, rustic stone farmhouses, lush olive groves and vineyards, magnificent rows of cypresses and viewpoints that will take your breath away.

Monte Sante Marie Gravel Road

Highlight • Trail

The dirt road of Monte Sante Marie, between Asciano and Torre a Castello, is a demanding climb, which has become famous thanks to sporting events such as L'Eroica and the Strade Bianche. It has steep slopes, but the effort repays with wonderful views.

Asciano Historic Center

Highlight • Settlement

During the annual Eroica event, a kind of vintage racing bike tour with thousands of participants, there is a refreshment station in Asciano. The locals then serve fine Italian snacks and of course red wine from the region. It is not that comfortable without the event, but the city will inspire you and you will also get your money's worth when it comes to food.

Historic center of Asciano

Highlight • Historical Site

Immersed in the splendid panorama of the Crete Senesi, Asciano has been inhabited since ancient times (Assianum). This treasure trove of art and history offers numerous monuments and two highly appreciated museums: the Palazzo Corboli Museum and the Cassioli Museum. Furthermore, between the towns of Leonina and Mucigliani stands the Site Transitoire, a stone work by Jean-Paul Philippe.
