Firstly, welcome to Chiusi - a small town in the Province of Siena, Tuscany. A town filled with history, tunnels, catacombs - and surrounded by beautiful olive groves, vineyards and farmland.

The Città di Chiusi is easily accessible by car, exit A1 highway Chiusi-Chianciano Terme, and by train, Chiusi-Chianciano Terme station.

We will have a vehicle and are happy to organise pick ups from public transport nearby. If this is your preference, please let us know ahead of time.

On the weekend of our arrival, La Festa dell'uva e del vino will be occurring in the towns centre. The oldest grape festival in the region, taking place on the last Sunday of September each year. The festival is known for grape stomping, its spectacular parade of allegorical floats, music, and dances.

Chiusi offers rich historical activities centered on its Etruscan past, like exploring the Labyrinth of Porsenna, underground passages, and the National Archaeological Museum, plus visiting the ancient San Secondiano Cathedral, discovering Etruscan tombs (Tomba della Scimmia), enjoying local food (pici pasta!), and experiencing Tuscan scenery, with options for wine tasting and outdoor strolls
