Make sure to drive along from Siena to Buonconvento and continue on the SP451 and after that from Asciano back towards Siena on the SP 438 and DO NOT forget your camera. What views, what light...

Stop on the way to visit the Abbazia di Monte Oliveto (1313) with paintings of the Sodoma and have lunch in the Locanda Il Paradiso in the cute little village of Chiusure close to the abbey.
