Sarteano
the village that breathes calm and history

Nestled among olive trees and hills, Sarteano welcomes you with the quiet pace of authentic Tuscany.
Its fortress watches over the valley like a gentle guardian, while its alleys echo with the sound of daily life.
Museums, artisans, and cozy trattorias tell stories of ancient roots and modern warmth.

👉 Tip: visit the Tomb of the Infernal Chariot, an astonishing Etruscan fresco — colors and mystery from 2,000 years ago.

Cetona
the mountain’s heart and timeless traditions

Just a few kilometers away, Cetona rises in a soft spiral of stone and light.
Its houses climb the hill, its piazzas smell of lime trees and bread, and the Mount Cetona hides caves that trace the dawn of human life.
It’s a perfect stop for a quiet walk or a lazy lunch with a view.

👉 Tip: visit the Grotto of Saint Francis, carved into rock and surrounded by silence — a meeting place of nature and legend.

Città della Pieve
a painting between Umbria and Tuscany

A few minutes farther, and the border turns to red brick: Città della Pieve, birthplace of the painter Perugino, glows with warm tones and gentle light.
Its streets invite you to wander between art, small cafés, and windows full of flowers.
Elegant and authentic, it’s one of those towns where you instantly feel at home.

👉 Tip: climb the Bishop’s Tower for a panoramic view across two regions, and treat yourself to some wine biscuits from a local bakery.

Chiusi
where every journey begins and ends

Before you start or on your way back, take time for Chiusi, the Etruscan city that guards Tuscany’s ancient soul.
The National Archaeological Museum and the Catacombs of Santa Mustiola tell a story that began millennia ago.
From here, every path begins — and every traveler eventually returns.

👉 Tip: explore the Labyrinth of Porsenna, an underground maze that leads to a Roman cistern hidden beneath the town.
