Places to visit

Villa Cerreto is located in a hilly position inside the Chianti area, precisely in the village of Pievasciata, just 14 kilometers from the center of Siena, and only over an hour's drive from Florence.
Situated in the municipality of Castelnuovo Berardenga, Pievasciata is a small village home to the Chianti Sculpture Park, a permanent exhibition of contemporary installations and sculptures nestled into a magical forest of oaks and holm oaks. Also inside the park there is an lovely amphitheater offering visitors a rich program of concerts and cultural events in July and August.
The amazing area of Chianti is known worldwide for the prestigious wine to which it gives birth (the typical emblem of the Gallo Nero), and for its evocative sceneries and charming villages which are along the “Via Chiantigiana”, from Greve to Panzano, from Castellina to Radda.
It is also worth visiting the countryside of Siena: here you will find other medieval gems, like Monteriggioni, San Gimignano and San Galgano.
