Asciano

Asciano is a small town in Tuscany's Crete Senesi, south-east of Siena, set among the bare clay hills and rolling farmland that define this part of central Italy. Its compact historic centre keeps a medieval layout, and the surrounding countryside is known for the Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore and scattered rural hamlets. Property here runs from apartments within the old town to farmhouses and villas in the nearby hills, appealing to buyers seeking quiet countryside within reach of Siena.
