Five proposals to experience the Valdichiana Senese in Winter

Winter in Valdichiana Senese: spas, food and Christmas markets

Winter is the ideal season to experience the Valdichiana Senese, out from the usual tourist routes. Even if the season changes, the authenticity and beauty of these places is still the same, jealously protected within the walls of the medieval villages. In winter, the Valdichiana Senese will be at your disposal with its thermal waters, ready to pamper you, delicious food, and the magical atmosphere of the Christmas markets. So, if you love quietness and prefer to travel in periods when the number of visitors is lower, winter is definitely your season.

Here is a list of offers chosen for you by Valdichiana Living to enjoy the Valdichiana Senese in winter at its best:
