🇮🇹 5 DAYS IN TUSCANY FROM ASCIANO
One peaceful base. Five days. Five different sides of Tuscany.
Planning a 5-day Tuscany itinerary and wondering where to stay?
You don't have to change accommodation every night.
Asciano, in the heart of the Crete Senesi, is a wonderful base for exploring Siena, Chianti, Montalcino, Montepulciano and the Val d'Orcia — while returning to the same peaceful place each evening.
Here is how we would plan five days in Tuscany from Sosta Eroica:
🏛️ DAY 1 — SIENA & THE CRETE SENESI
Start in Siena, one of Tuscany's most beautiful medieval cities.
Explore Piazza del Campo, the Cathedral and the historic centre, then head back towards the Crete Senesi.
On the way, take your time to discover the countryside around Asciano, Leonina and the Biancane.
🌅 Local tip: stay until late afternoon. The changing light can transform the colours of the Crete Senesi.
🍷 DAY 2 — CHIANTI W**E COUNTRY
Spend a day among the vineyards and historic villages of Chianti.
Visit a w**ery, learn about the local w**e tradition and enjoy a w**e tasting in the cellar.
This is a day to slow down: beautiful roads, vineyards, good food and a long Tuscan lunch.
🍇 Local tip: book your w**ery experience in advance, especially during the high season.
🍷 DAY 3 — MONTALCINO & BRUNELLO
Head south to Montalcino, the home of Brunello di Montalcino.
Explore the medieval town, enjoy the views over the vineyards and, if you love w**e, visit a w**ery for a tasting.
You can also combine the day with Monte Oliveto Maggiore Abbey, surrounded by the countryside of the Crete Senesi.
🍇 DAY 4 — MONTEPULCIANO
Discover Montepulciano, a historic hilltop town famous for Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.
Walk through its historic centre, explore the w**e cellars and enjoy the panoramic views towards the surrounding countryside.
It's a perfect combination of history, architecture, w**e and landscapes.
🌿 DAY 5 — VAL D'ORCIA
Finish your journey in the Val d'Orcia, one of the most iconic landscapes in Tuscany.
Visit Pienza, continue to San Quirico d'Orcia and, if time allows, stop at Bagno Vignoni.
Don't rush.
Leave time to stop along the countryside roads, take photographs, enjoy a local lunch and simply appreciate the landscape.
🏡 WHY STAY IN ASCIANO?
This is why we love Sosta Eroica as a base for exploring Tuscany.
From one peaceful location, you can discover very different sides of the region:
🏛️ Siena
🌾 Crete Senesi
🍷 Chianti
🍷 Montalcino & Brunello
🍇 Montepulciano
🌿 Val d'Orcia
And every evening, you return to the same place instead of packing and unpacking again.
Sosta Eroica is an independent holiday home in Asciano, Tuscany, surrounded by the countryside, with panoramic views towards Siena and the Crete Senesi.
After a day exploring Tuscany, it's a place to slow down, enjoy the landscape and, in summer, relax by the shared swimming pool.

💡 Our local tip: five days are enough to discover several highlights, but don't try to see everything. The best part of Tuscany is often the time between destinations.
