Crete senesi | Trekking in Tuscany |  Anello Ville di Corsano [Corsano - L’Eroica - Poggio ai Frati - Mugnano - Grotti]

   
   

Walking in the Crete Senesi around Ville di Corsano is a breathtaking experience, immersing you in a landscape of rolling clay hills, cypress-lined paths, and ancient farmhouses. This lesser-known part of Tuscany, south of Siena, is characterized by its lunar-like terrain, especially stunning in the golden light of sunrise and sunset. As you wander along the trails, you'll encounter historic villages, serene abbeys, and panoramic views stretching across the undulating countryside. The peaceful solitude and ever-changing colors of the land make it a perfect destination for nature lovers and photographers alike.

Anello Ville di Corsano

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. Podere Santa Pia is surrounded by a backdrop of hills and macchia mediterranea: wild, untamed and completely natural vegetation, wonderful for walking and exploring.
Close to the house is a unique private swimming pool (12 x 5 m). On the spacious terrace around the pool are sun loungers, tables, chairs.... This is also an ideal place for outdoor dining, to enjoy an apero or dinner al fresco. The views are truly stunning, with a unique view of the hills of the Tuscan Maremma and the Tyrrhenian Sea in the background.
