"Chiusure artichoke" in a porchetta head
A festive day to spend immersed in the Crete Senesi and in its tastes, starting from Fattoria del Colle in Trequanda where, making the most of the Sagra del Carciofo di Chiusure, dedicates a special menu to the delicious “ carduccio” artichoke from our land. This is just a starting point to get to know our territory rich in history, in landscapes, and unique dishes, just like this artichoke. You will have the opportunity to taste our products, such as the Brunello di Montalcino DOCG from Casato Prime Donne and the Cenerentola Orcia DOC from Fattoria del Colle. On April 25th from 11 am onwards in the medieval hamlet of Chiusure, on a hill just above the Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore, the festival will begin wish food stalls dedicated to the artichoke and much more, there will be music with the Asciano band too.

Wellness experience at Fattoria del Colle
The wellness centre has been created in an annexe of the villa in front of a breathtaking view of the Val d’Orcia and Crete Senesi. It is special because of the refined and modern design of the structure to which have been added hand painted tiles which recall Turkish baths and the odalisques painted by Ingres. The slightly sexy atmosphere typical of the great French painter is enriched with the possibility of tasting wine while bathing in the hot water of the mini pool, The wellness centre is equipped with Turkish bath, sauna, relaxation room, sensorial shower, Kneipp experience and Jacuzzi.
We advise our guests to bring a bathing costume, bath robe and pool footwear; Fattoria del Colle will supply the towels.
The wellness experience lasts two hours and costs 25.00 € per person
For the exclusive use of the structure for a couple the cost is of 100,00 € per person
