Home description
The hamlet is located in the heart of the ‘crete Senese’, the wonderful landscape to the south of Siena. Access to the hamlet is along a ‘white road’ – approximately 1km off the main Siena–Asciano road. In the hamlet are farm buildings, and you will have the chance to mix with the locals. The setting is beautiful, with views over the rolling hills in every direction. There is a further terrace area where you can barbeque and enjoy the ever changing landscape. With Siena just a short drive away and the marvels of the crete Senese to discover, we feel that Casa Grania is a great base to explore this region. Should you wish to use a swimming pool, the owner has made arrangements with a nearby agriturismo, and guests can use the pool free of charge (approximately 2kms away).
