The Crete Senesi | San Giovanni d'Asso |
|
|
|
| |
|
San Giovanni d'Asso is a comune in the area known as the Crete Senesi. The hamlet is overlooked by a large Castle, now home to a White truffle museum.
Also interesting in the historical centre are the churches of San Giovanni Battista (pieve) and San Pietro in Villore, both of medieval origin.
The Castle is located in the higher part of town, called Borghetto, whose origins date back to the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries from designs by Agostino and Agnolo di Ventura, Sienese architects.
Worth visiting are the Romanesque church of San Giovanni Battista and, lower down, the church of San Pietro in Villore (11th - 12th century). Among the agricultural products, the white truffle is precious and famous throughout Italy. There is a festival celebrating the rare and fragrant tuber each year.
The comune San Giovanni d'Asso includes the hamlets of Montisi, Lucignano d'Asso, Monterongriffoli, Vergelle and Pieve a Salti.

Holiday homes in the Tuscan Maremma |
|
|
| |
|
Podere Santa Pia is a beautiful stone farmhouse only 2 km away from Castiglioncello Bandini. The main house is spacious, comfortable and well furnished and offers its guests a breathtaking view over the Maremma hills. As one drives down to the property you can’t help feeling a sense of anticipation: turning into a gloriously open space surrounded by trees and ultimately your holiday home, it is difficult not to be overwhelmed by the setting and the stunning, far reaching views.
If you love great wines, great food and great scenery, a wine tasting tour makes an ideal holiday. Going wine tasting in Tuscany is practically an obligation in this region of rolling vineyards and hidden, historic wine-properties.
