This is central Tuscany with its rolling hills, elegant cypress trees, precise rows of vines & abundant olive trees.
To the north is Chianti Wine region full of prestigious wine estates that produce rich dark Chianti wines.
To the south is Crete Senese so called because of the clay hills that create a striking & barren landscape. All around are pretty hilltop towns, joined by long windy roads, perfect for relaxed sightseeing & quiet contemplation.
