The Project
The Crete Senesi Life Park is a large extended park in constant evolution.
It extends over the entire territory of the Municipality of Asciano, located in the center of Tuscany, with direct access from Siena through the village of Arbia.
White roads and paths intertwine in a unique place in Italy.
Here you can go hiking, biking or horseback riding, take part in sporting events or enjoy other unforgettable experiences.
