For your holidays in a Farmhouse Siena, villa or b&b in Siena, we offer a wide range of accommodation to choose from for your stay in the Tuscan countryside. For example, you can book an apartment in a farmhouse in Chianti, or a room with views of the Val d'Orcia, maybe near Pienza, the perfect Renaissance city, or maybe a holiday home in Montepulciano in Valdichiana; this some of the beautiful scenery you will see during your trip to the area around Siena.
The beauty of these places has meant that they have been chosen as film sets by internationally recognized directors such as Ridley Scott, who shot some scenes of Gladiator here with Russell Crowe, and Anthony Minghella shot the English patient with Colin Firth and Ralph Fiennes.

Sagra della Miseria
Colle Val d 'Elsa, June
It is a "good " misery that is celebrated in this festival. It is the poverty of the ingredients of Tuscan cuisine which corresponds to an incredible richness of flavours.
Ferie delle Messi
Saint GimignanoThird weekend in June
Like Troisi and Benigni in "nothing left to do but cry" the tourists who visit San Gimignano at this time will feel they have stepped back in time. The streets and squares are alive with musicians, storytellers, acrobats and fortune tellers while craftsmen are intent on making local products. The Rock of Montestaffoli is the setting for the military encampment where soldiers train to shoot with a bow. And later in the evening you can taste the medieval cuisine.
Settimana Musicale Senese
Siena, Chigiana Academy, week of July
