'La Senese' is located on what is known as the 'Sienese 'Mountain', centrally placed between Siena, a 20 minute drive away where the famous 'Palio' horse race is held twice a year, San Gimignano, the pretty hill top village of Casole d'Elsa, Colle di val d'Elsa, where the nearest supermarkets are and the medieval fort of Monteriggioni. Florence is a 45 minute drive north and Volterra half and hour west. The nearest beaches are an hour's drive away. The house is surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, woodland and Etruscan tombs - a paradise for those seeking the tranquillity of the country yet close to the most important Tuscan towns and historical sites. There are wonderful walking routes, nearby farms and villas offering wine and olive oil tasting, and a wide choice of local restaurants. Guided walking, horse riding and cycling tours can be arranged and there are rivers within easy driving distance in which to swim. Many local towns hold festivals throughout the summer.
