To really get to know a region, looking is not enough. You really need to taste, savour and digest it. Here time rules over space, the senses transform reality into emotion and everything is a work of art.
Here nature is at home and the homes become refuges, the spirit of the land inspires the genius of its inhabitants, the fields fill the tables and the vineyards fill the glasses.
Here well-being means being immersed in ancient miraculous hot springs and in tune with a lifestyle that respects nature and the landscapes depicted in artworks the date back up to a thousand years. Here, only here will you find Torrita di Siena and Montefollonico. It’s not just a trip or a holiday. Simply travelling through and admiring the Val di Chiana is an experience in itself.

 




Torrita di Siena
A clear gem whose walls reflect the blue sky. This is Torrita di Siena , the birth place of the gentleman-bandit,  Ghino di Tacco, its medieval pride is retrained in its architecture. 
Still set within its predominantly, intact walls, life passes tranquilly, scented by the surrounding woodlands. Torrita conveys an overall sense of internal peace, blessed by a cuisine that employs local produce; a microcosm protected by ancient walls that still preserves its traditions.

Montefollonico
You don’t just happen to find yourself in Montefollonico, you need to go there for a reason. This thought will come to mind when you come to the road that leads only to this tiny Medieval town located on a lonely hill top, far from more travelled roads.  And it is perhaps this splendid isolation that gives Montefollonico its beauty and charm. Greater than that of other more famous, sometimes unjustly heralded destinations, on the panorama of Italy’s tourist trail.
