Property management in Tuscany
Villa Management in the Crete Senesi
Tripcare, a luxury villa property-management company in Tuscany, manages villas and farmhouses in Crete Senesi with its own team. Tripcare reaches villas in the Crete Senesi in about 64 minutes from its Poggibonsi office, along the Siena–Bettolle road and then the Lauretana towards Asciano.
What changes in Crete Senesi
The Crete Senesi are not a municipality but a landscape: the clay hills south-east of Siena between Asciano, Rapolano Terme, Monteroni d’Arbia and San Giovanni d’Asso, with the biancane and the gullies seen from the Lauretana, the SS 438 that runs down from Siena to Asciano.
There are no rows of vines here as in Chianti, but wheat, isolated farmhouses and lines of cypresses on the gravel roads, including those of Monte Sante Marie ridden by the Eroica on the first Sunday of October. Geography dictates the management: in winter the clay turns to mud and the access road must be kept with gravel; water is the main subject, because many farmhouses have a tank filled by tanker or a mains connection with low pressure, and the pool must be filled in advance; heating is LPG or pellet. The distance must be declared: Asciano has a station on the Siena–Chiusi line, but the nearest emergency department is at Nottola, 42 minutes, and Florence airport is 99. There are two seasons, not one: May and June with the hills green and October-November with the fields ploughed and the white truffle of San Giovanni d’Asso, while July and August are dry and yellow, with the Palio di Siena half an hour away. The abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore, with the frescoes by Sodoma and Signorelli, and the thermal baths of Rapolano complete the reasons why whoever comes here stays a week.
Who will rent your villa in Crete Senesi
Couples and photographers who come for the landscape, not for a city: a week in May or October, dawns for the mist on the biancane, dinners at home. They ask for open views, silence, a real kitchen and precise directions for the gravel roads; in summer they look for a pool and shade, and accept the distance if declared.
The Tripcare concierge in Crete Senesi
The Tripcare concierge books the visit to the abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore, entry to the thermal baths of Rapolano, dinner with a chef at the villa with San Giovanni d’Asso truffle in autumn, a driver for Siena on Palio day and the transfer from Florence airport, 99 minutes by road.

The results of Tripcare management
Tripcare publishes only verified figures about its own portfolio, with the basis beside each one: the share of direct bookings, revenue against the previous management, the average guest rating and the team’s maximum distance from every villa. They are portfolio averages, not a promised return for a single house.
- 40%
- bookings made directly through our site
- +55%
- more revenue than under previous management
- 4.8/5
- across 1,640 reviews, all platforms
- ≤ 15 min
- from our team to every villa, in every area
- Since 2018
- active in Tuscany
Method: the figures come from Tripcare’s systems (channel reports from the booking software and owner statements) and from the booking platforms, 2026 season, averaged over every house managed. The return of a specific villa depends on position, condition and season: we estimate it as a range, after the on-site visit, never as a guaranteed figure.

Events and calendar in Crete Senesi

Frequently asked questions about management in Crete Senesi
Tripcare answers here the questions owners in Crete Senesi ask most often before entrusting their house: guest arrival, systems, season and calendar. The answers hold for this municipality; for your villa the free on-site visit makes them precise.
How does water work in a villa in the Crete Senesi?
Many farmhouses have a tank filled by tanker or a mains connection with low pressure: before each season we measure capacity, schedule deliveries and fill the pool in advance, not once guests have arrived. In the house rules we explain calmly that water here is not endless.
Do the gravel roads of the Crete Senesi hold up in winter?
The clay does, if the road is kept: after the autumn rains we check the surface and order gravel where needed, before mud stops the November guests. In the listing we state the kilometres of unpaved road and advise against low cars; for those arriving by train at Asciano we organise the pick-up.
Which are the best months to let a villa in the Crete Senesi?
May-June and October-November, when the landscape is at its best for those who come to photograph it; July and August stay full but require a pool and shade. With the Eroica in early October and the white truffle in November, autumn here is worth as much as summer: a different calendar from Chianti’s.
How far are villas in the Crete Senesi from hospitals, stations and airports?
The nearest emergency department is Nottola, at Montepulciano, about 42 minutes; Asciano station is on the Siena–Chiusi line; Florence and Pisa airports are 99 and 146 minutes away. We write it in the arrival instructions and say it before booking, because a declared distance does not become a complaint.
