Baths, nature, lovely landscapes, typical towns, excellent wine, great food… The territory of the city of Siena is exceptionally unique, incredibly beautiful and includes several areas, all worth discovering.

Those who wish to book a stay in a Hotel in Siena to visit the city and discover its surroundings can choose among the following destinations for quick trips or getaways:

  • Chianti. The Chianti’s countryside is one of the best known areas of the province of Siena and is always a perfect destination to taste a good glass of wine. Among the most important and beautiful towns of Siena’s Chiantti it’s worth mentioning the ones that were part of the ancient Chianti League such as Radda in Chianti, Gaiole in Chianti and Castellina in Chianti.
  • Val d’Elsa. The town of Poggibonsi divides the Chianti and the Val d’Elsa, a peaceful area of great historic and natural importance that includes the towns of Colle Val d’Elsa, a beautiful village known as “The City of Crystal”, San Gimignano, a wonderful medieval village part of UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites and the unique Monteriggioni, crowned by its towers.
  • Crete Senesi. With their truly unique landscapes, the hills of the Crete Senesi might be an excellent location by night for science fiction movies (especially the Accona desert), while during the summer they become dressed with an intense green. The Crete Senesi include the famous towns of Rapolano Terme, Asciano and Trequanda.
  • Val d’Orcia. The exceptional beauty and artistic importance of the Val d’Orcia has been guaranteed by UNESCO that in 2004 has awarded this area as World Heritage Site. This beautiful natural oasis also includes another World Heritage Site, the fascinating town of Pienza, and other typical villages such as Montalcino, San Quirico d’Orcia and the Thermal Baths of Bagno Vignoni.
  • Val di Merse. The area of the Val di Merse includes the towns of Monticiano, Chiusdino, Murlo and Sovicille and consists of an area of the province of Siena that can be ideal for those who love trekking, biking trips, hikes in nature, but also for those who love thermal baths since it’s very close to Petriolo’s thermal baths.
  • Val di Chiana. This green and scented area of Tuscany also extends in the province of Arezzo and includes the famous towns of Torrita di Siena, Chianciano Terme and Chiusi. We recommend visiting the Thermal baths of Chianciano, the Lake of Chiusi and the village of Cetona.
  • Monte Amiata. The most important mountain of the province of Siena is a welcoming holiday destination during the Summer, and a great destination for those who love snowy landscapes during the winter. At its slopes, the following lovely towns are located: Abbadia San Salvatore, Arcidosso and Castel del Piano in the province of Grosseto.

Considering the vastity and variety of its landscapes, the quality of life and the beauty of its villages, the wonderful territory of the province of Siena can be a true precious chest full of artistic and natural treasures.
