Trequanda is a picturesque medieval village situated in a privileged position between the rolling hills of Val d'Orcia and the rugged and fascinating Crete Senesi, in the heart of Tuscany, in the province of Siena. This location embodies the quintessential Tuscan landscape, known for its ordered beauty, cypresses, and cultivated hills. Trequanda is renowned for its production of high-quality extra virgin olive oil and for its authentic and relaxed atmosphere, far from mass tourism.

What to See and the Recommended Experience by our Travel Designers

• Cacciaconti Castle (Castello Cacciaconti) – Symbol of the village, an imposing medieval complex, now partially incorporated into the town hall, with a tower dominating the landscape.
• Church of Saints Peter and Andrew (Chiesa dei Santi Pietro e Andrea) – Houses valuable works of art and features Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements.
• Oil Mill (Frantoio) – An unmissable experience is a visit to one of the local oil mills during the harvest period (between October and December) to taste the new oil, an excellence of the territory.
• The View of the Crete Senesi – We recommend reaching the panoramic viewpoints just outside the walls to take the most iconic photos of the Tuscan landscape.

The cuisine is the classic Sienese and Tuscan, focused on authenticity and the quality of local raw materials, highlighted by our taste experts.

• Extra Virgin Olive Oil – The main product, known for its fruity and slightly spicy flavor.
• Pici all'Aglione – Pici (handmade thick spaghetti) seasoned with a dense and flavorful sauce based on aglione (a giant garlic variety) and tomato.
• Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG (nearby) – The proximity to Montepulciano and Montalcino makes Trequanda a strategic point for wine exploration.

How to Get There and Get Around

Trequanda is easily accessible by car and is a short distance from major centers and attractions. For a true luxury experience, we recommend renting a sports car or using an NCC service (rental with driver) to explore the scenic roads of the Val d'Orcia.
