About The Experience

This hilltop villa in the Tuscan countryside is located near the charming village of Monteriggioni and offers close proximity to Siena, San Gimignano, and Florence as well as the Chianti Classico. With panoramic views, a private pool, and a peaceful atmosphere, a family or group of friends is sure to enjoy a relaxing stay at this vacation rental.

Location Description

The property is located two kilometers from Staggia, where there are general stores, and three kilometers from a train station in Castellina Scalo (a small line). Six kilometers away is Monteriggioni, a medieval village with shops, restaurants, and markets. The main piazza features a Romanesque church while streets leading to it are bordered by gardens and Renaissance-style houses. The Festa Medievale is held in July and in which people dress up in medieval costumes, listen to music, and put on live shows. A great day trip destination is Siena. This picturesque city is a wonderfully preserved example of the Tuscan Middle Ages, and a treasure trove of gothic palaces, churches, and museums. It's also well known for its bi-annual bareback horse races, the Palio, held once in July and once in August. You’ll also find good restaurants, fun shops, and beautiful architecture!
