Just south of Siena there is the surreal area of
Crete, an amazing semi desert that breaks through the bewitching
green of this area of Tuscany. The Siena Crete is a part of the
Val d'Orcia, a worldwide patrimony which is recognized by
UNESCO and much prized by the councils of Montalcino, Castiglione
d'Orcia, Pienza, San Quirico d'Orcia and Radicofani.
The Siena Crete: a lunar landscape dominated by tones of grey which blend and change depending on the time of day or the season. |

Hills, where every now and then there are fields of sunflowers, which in summer glow, fields of grain which in spring hug the bright green ground is the most beautiful part of Montalcino which gives us a flowing green landscape of vigorous vineyards, the leaves of which change to red in Autumn and Winter offer us their bare sleeping shoots. In this lunar landscape, castles and strongholds timidly rise, but the most noticeable walls are the solid walls of the farm, proof of a deep farming tradition. | |

Between
the winding slopes of these hills, the 3 farm cottages are
constructed in 400 hectares of land, fenced farm to preserve
the fauna and the flora that are part of the Val D'Orcia, crossed
by the ancient medieval road Francigena. This road contributed
the growth of the small centres of the farming community that today,
as the past times, welcome the travellers with genuine hospitality. These strong and sober stone houses, originating in the XII century and belonging to the Senesi di Santa Maria della Scala hospital which from the XV century have belonged to a noble family and to this day still do. They have recently been restored, respecting their architectural values and adding what we expect nowadays. They are a precious corner to spend your holiday in. The apartments are large and spacious with antique floors and large fire places. The furniture is simple and elegant, in keeping with the old structures. Apartments
