You will receive the vehicle that best fits the number of travelers in your group, ranging from a sedan to a van for groups of up to 7. Depending where you travel, you can book anything from a sedan comparable to a Toyota Corolla to a Mercedes V-Class to a Classic Cuban Car. While the exact model may vary, we always ensure that the vehicle provided meets your needs in terms of safety, reliability, and comfort. You may be upgraded to a larger vehicle class free of charge depending on availability. Since our largest vehicle seats 7, for groups larger a combination of vehicles will be used.

Everywhere except the USA, drivers will supply appropriate child seats (just let us know during booking). In the USA, certain states require you to supply your own child seats.
Know more about traveling from Asciano
Yes. Asciano hosts the Palio dei Ciuchi, a lively race where riders compete on donkeys rather than horses, a charming twist on Siena's famous Palio. The town's streets also come alive with the Mercatino delle Crete Senesi, a traditional market featuring local products and crafts. These events offer a warm look at community life and regional tradition.
Asciano is a small, quiet town and considered very safe, with low crime typical of rural Tuscany. The main things to watch are practical: narrow roads, uneven cobblestones, and limited services after hours. Use normal precautions with valuables, and take care driving the winding country roads, especially when stopping to admire or photograph the scenery.
The historic center is compact and best explored on foot, though streets are sloped and paved with cobblestones, which can challenge wheelchairs and strollers. The surrounding countryside is best seen by car or bike. Asciano also has a train station on the Siena-Chiusi line, making it reachable without a car for those who prefer not to drive.
Wander the medieval center along Corso Matteotti and visit Palazzo Corboli, praised as one of Italy's finest small museums, plus the Romanesque church of Sant'Agata. Just south lies the Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore, famous for its frescoed cloister. The drive along the Via Lauretana through the Crete Senesi is a highlight in itself.
Italy uses the euro. Credit and debit cards are accepted at most hotels, restaurants, and shops, though smaller family-run trattorias, markets, and rural producers around Asciano may prefer cash. It is wise to carry some euros for these spots. ATMs, called "bancomat," are available in town and nearby Siena.
The Crete Senesi is known for pecorino cheese, extra-virgin olive oil, and white truffles. Asciano produces pasta from ancient wheat varieties, often served with local truffle. Pair meals with Tuscan wines and finish with regional specialties at family-run restaurants. Farmhouse stays and local shops are great places to taste authentic, high-quality products.
Italian is the official language of Italy. In smaller towns like Asciano, English is less widely spoken than in major cities, though staff at hotels and popular restaurants often understand the basics. Learning a few basic words like "buongiorno" and "grazie" goes a long way and is warmly received by locals.
Spring and autumn are ideal, when the Crete Senesi landscape turns green with wheat or glows in warm earthy tones. Temperatures are pleasant for walking and driving the scenic roads. Summer can be hot, while winter brings fog that lends the hills a quiet, surreal beauty. Spring and fall offer the best balance of weather and scenery.
