HOLIDAYS IN TUSCANY

For those of you who wish to visit places a little more off the beaten track, we highly recommend a trip to Casole d’Elsa, Mensano, Radicondoli, Belforte, Chiusdino and Pievescola, with its beautiful Romanesque parish church; just some of the small villages and characteristic places that can be found in the surrounding hills of the Le Mascie Holiday House.

For nature lovers, there are beautiful country walks along the footpaths of the Montagnola Senese, nature reserve; the Montagnola has thousands of pathways that were parts of the Via Francigena during the Middle Ages, the axis road that connected Rome with France and made communication possible with the nearby cities of Colle Val d'Elsa, Poggibonsi, Certaldo, Monteriggioni, San Gimignano,and also Siena.

Other beautiful areas that are not far away and are ideal for an enjoyable day trip are: Chianti, the Brunello di Montalcino territory, the Val d'Orcia, the Crete Senesi and the Farma and Merse valleys.
