Cetona, nice village in the province of Siena at the foot of the mountain having the same name, is located in the south of the valley named Val di Chiana senese, between Umbria and Tuscany.
The hill nature of this area favours the typical cultivations and vegetation characterizing the Tuscan countryside such as vines, olive trees, cypresses and beeches. The climate is excellent in summer, while in winter temperatures are more severe. The territory rich in woods and clay favoured the prehistoric settlements in the area of Belverde. The village, surrounded by the green at an altitude of 385 m on the sea level, is dominated by an ancient Medieval fortress, whose remains are still present.
For its geographical position, for the fascinating town planning structure typical of the Middle Ages, for the charming surrounding countryside which is so beautiful to seem a Renaissance oleographic picture, Cetona has become the residence of several famous protagonists of the world of art and culture and is always the destination of a sophisticated and educated tourism that is never intrusive. Walking through the old alleys of the village you can discover views of a sixteenth-century landscape and breathe a clean magic atmosphere, reminding the ancient times. Cetona is a village where the old and the new combine together with an excellent harmony.
