The Hills Around Siena

If you speak with your relatives and friends about holidays in Tuscany and you say you have rented a villa or a farmhouse in Siena or in its outskirts for one or more weeks, you will be told - among other things - about the spectacular hills that surround the town of the Palio.


Siena is in fact surrounded by the Chianti hills (north-east), the Montagnola (west) and the Crete Senesi (south-east).

Often reproduced in breathtaking postcards and posters, Siena`s hills are a real distillation of beauty.
Their gentle profiles, fruit of human labour, are covered with vineyards, cereal fields and cypresses whose dark green canopies rise against the skyline, and dotted with ancient reddish sharecropper houses.

It is not by chance that UNESCO has included not only Siena historical centre (in 1995) but also a part of the Sienese countryside, that is, Val d`Orcia (in 2004) in its list of World Heritage Sites.

Therefore, if you are looking for a villa or a farmhouse in Siena for your next holidays in Tuscany, you could take into consideration the possibility of renting an accommodation facility in the hills.

Once arrived, take a mountain bike or get onto a horse and have a healthy and relaxing hike!
