What's nearby

  • #TroveOn
Yes, Monteriggioni just might be the quintessential walled medieval village in Tuscany. It's small enough to perhaps be called "cute" but you won't catch me using this term.

Monteriggioni began as a border fortress built on a round hill by Sienna against the Florentines. It is famous for the intact defensive structure that held up against repeated Florentine attacks in the 11th century; its 10 meter high walls and 14 towers can still be seen for miles around. Monteriggioni has been featured in movies as a typical medieval village.

The village is slightly elliptical in shape with two gates (a third has been plugged). The major gate tourists will use when coming from the parking lot, Porta Franca, owes its name to the Via Francigena--Monteriggione was a major stop on the pilgrimage trail from Cantebury to Rome. The Romanesque Church of Santa Maria Assunta will offer assistance with housing for modern pilgrims traveling the Francigena pilgrimage route.

Monteriggioni was a sleepy village of farmers and sheep herders as late as the 1960's. Today it exists entirely for tourists and pilgrims. You'll find wine shops, a tasting room, restaurants and hotels in the small village. This is not neccessarily a disadvantage, although some times it's nice to see some locals puttering about once in a while.

Where is Monteriggioni?

Monteriggioni is located in the province of Siena, 14km to the northwest of Siena (54km from Florence). While it can be done as a day trip from Siena, you might be better off staying the night--Monteriggioni is much more evocative when the tourists leave late in the afternoon and you can sit in a courtyard sipping a glass of Chianti. Monteriggioni is surrounded by vineyards, and is known for its wine production.

  • Cascate del Diborrato - Parco fluviale dell'Elsa

Inside the residential area of Colle Val d'Elsa is a historic and natural landscape of enormous value thanks to the Elsa River which crosses the Val d'Elsa creating a unique territory. The river creates enchanting corners for hiking and observing: the engineering works for gathering water, the artifical canal system for carrying the water to the city, the caves. A particularly suggestive point is the Diborrato water falls, a 15m jump which is more than 10m deep, a sort of small lake where the locals used to go to cool off. Other places not to miss are the Grotta dell'Orso, the Conchina, the Masso Bianco, the Nicchia and the Spianata dei Falchi, each with its own particularities. This natural richness has been recognized with the institution of a protected area in the River Park of the Upper Val d'Elsa which includes the path of the river from the city of Colle Val d'Elsa which stretches from Ponte Santa Giulia to Ponte di Spugna and includes the Caldane, thermal springs which were known to the Etruscans and Romans.

Wir genossen unseren Urlaub im unserem Domizil La Mirandola. Unser Ferienhaus im toskanischen Stil, sowie der Poolbereich sind sehr gepflegt und mit Herz geschaffen.

Review for stay from 30 May 2009 to 06 June 2009

La Mirandola was an absolute delight! The best of old and new - traditional old Tuscan farmhouse in beautiful Chianti, completely remodelled inside. Charming, tasteful, neat and clean inside; beautiful patio, pool, and grounds outside. In the heart of the Chianti region. The host family could not have been more welcoming, friendly, and helpful. This is a place we would gladly return to and recommend to friends. EasyReserve, as the name implies, was an easy, effective way to select and reserve a villa. Great web site; accurate info and photos, and directions. We are two very happy travellers.

Review for stay from 30 April 2008 to 07 May 2008

We were feeling at Home. Very spacious and comfortable for four adults. Location is great to drive the Chianti route. We loved Radda and Castellina in Chianti nearby. The main picture on the website doesn't reflect the real beauty of the property: the view and the lawn are spectacular!!! annie Belgique/Québec
