The Crete Senesi is a unique and captivating area of southern Tuscany, located just south of Siena. This remarkable landscape encompasses the municipalities of Asciano, Buonconvento, Monteroni d’Arbia, Rapolano Terme and San Giovanni d’Asso, all within the Province of Siena. It borders the renowned Chianti Senese region to the north, the Val di Chiana to the east, and the celebrated Val d’Orcia to the southwest.
The name Crete Senesi literally means “the clays of Siena,” referring to the area’s distinctive grey-blue clay soil, which creates a landscape often compared to a lunar panorama. These soils originated from the sediments of an ancient sea that covered the region between 2.5 and 4.5 million years ago.
Today, the Crete Senesi is renowned for its breathtaking scenery: gently rolling hills, dramatic clay formations, solitary oak and cypress trees, picturesque farmhouses perched on hilltops, patches of woodland, and tranquil ponds nestled in the valleys. The area’s characteristic biancane and badlands create an ever-changing landscape of extraordinary beauty, making it one of Tuscany’s most distinctive and photographed regions.
The result is a timeless and enchanting setting that perfectly embodies the authentic charm of the Tuscan countryside.
