Weekend in the Val di Merse and Val d’Elsa

Vacations in the Siena area, amidst Renaissance beauties and well-being

If you’re familiar with Tuscany, then you surely know how fascinating the Siena area is: a mix of beauty, history and nature. The most renowned figures in history have passed through these parts, and contemporary artists continue to come here in search of inspiration.

Two free days are the perfect opportunity to visit the “lesser-known” villages in the territory, particularly exploring the best of the Val di Merse and the Val d’Elsa. The time-based tour we’re proposing starts in Colle Val d’Elsa, a gem of a city where culture blends with tradition; the journey continues to Radicondoli, a medieval city that overlooks the Metalliferous Hills on the way to the sea; Montinciano (with the chance to visit the Petriolo hot springs); and Murlo, the village/castle dating to the Etruscan era.
