CRETE SENESI

The lunar landscape of the white truffle

Tuscany on foot
half day / full day
Le Crete Senesi are located in the south of Siena: a desert of clay hills between ‘calanchi’ and ‘biancane’ (hill structures which are characteristic of the area) offering views of small villages and Benedictine abbeys.

The lunar landscape alternating with green and yellow wheat fields, depending on the season in which it is visited, jealously hides the real treasure of this corner: the white truffle.

Pecorino cheese and artichokes represent two typical and unique products of the agriculture of the Crete Senesi.
Each tour is tailor-made according to specific needs and requests.
By consulting the map and the Highlights table below, it will be easier to identify the places of interest and the activities to be included, so you can choose and better define the duration of the tour (half day or full day), based on km/miles you will like to cover.

  • Monte Oliveto Maggiore: the Benedictine Abbey from the '300s
  • The terracotta village of Chiusure
  • San Giovanni d'Asso and its truffle museum
  • Buonconvento: a beautiful village on the Via Francigena
  • Lunar landscapes, clay from the Crete Senesi
