PALAZZO MONTERIGGIONI

PALAZZO MONTERIGGIONI - MONTERIGGIONI

11 Bedrooms

Location and Surrounding Area
Set in the charming hilltop Monteriggioni, this magnificent Palazzo is ideally located to explore Tuscany’s cultural highlights and most spectacular natural wonders. Situated in the heart of Chianti, just a stone’s throw from the charming towns of Siena and Florence, Palazzo Monteriggioni is the perfect location for day trips to the most beautiful towns in Tuscany and provides a unique opportunity to admire its iconic landscapes while soaking up the region’s incredibly rich historical and cultural heritage.

From Dante Alighieri to Assassin’s Creed, Monteriggioni has played with people’s imagination for centuries. Surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, Monteriggioni is a perfectly preserved walled medieval castle-town close to Siena. Perched above a green valley, Monteriggioni was originally a castle that was shaped to fit the hill on which it has stood since the 11th century. Today, its towers are still visible from afar. The castle-town still has its medieval charm: the old walls are still standing, and its narrow, cobbled lanes have hardly changed over the years.

In just fifteen minutes by car, you can reach the medieval town of Siena. Its ancient red brick buildings, the scallop-shaped main square Piazza del Campo, and the Cathedral Square, dominated by the zebra-striped Duomo, make it an absolute must for anyone traveling to Tuscany. Effectively an open-air museum celebrating the Gothic, Siena boasts secular monuments that have retained both their medieval forms and their exceptional art collections, providing plenty to marvel at.

In twenty-five minutes by car, you can reach the walled town of San Gimignano, one of Italy’s best-preserved medieval villages. As you crest the nearby hills, the fourteen towers of the town rise like a medieval Manhattan. Today, not even the plague would deter the swarms of summer day trippers, lured by a palpable sense of history and the enchanting rural setting. The historic centre was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site, and strolling through the streets will make you feel like you have stepped back in time.

In one hour by car, you can reach Florence, a treasure trove of art with an astonishing contemporary vibe. Beyond the extraordinary artistic heritage, a testimony to its centuries of civilization, the best way to enjoy Florence is to stroll along the riverside avenues at sunset, or to get lost among the city’s myriad alleyways of the bohemian Oltrarno or the narrow little streets of San Niccolò, where it feels like you have ended up in another time along its centuries-old walls.
