Area & Experiences

In Central Italy, the river Ombrone winds through the Tuscan countryside, from the Chianti hills to the banks of the Tyrrhenian sea. As it flows, it waters the Brunello di Montalcino vineyards and the medieval villages of Siena province. Amid this peaceful landscape, the three brick chimneys of Villa Apollonia peak out from the treetops. Take a gravel road and zigzag through the olive fields to get there.

Watch the Palio from a resident’s house

The Palio race is held twice a year, on 2 July and 16 August. This famous horse race is ridden bareback and has been organised every year since 1644, almost without fail, on the main square in Siena, Piazza del Campo. Enter a local resident’s house to watch the race from one of the balconies around the edge of the square.
