MONTALCINO Welcome
to our Information Pages about Montalcino. Enjoy
your stay in Montalcino!
Do
you yearn to immerse yourself in the
unfolding life of a gorgeous Tuscan village with its roots in agriculture
and viticulture? One which has a fascinating history, a cultural identity
of its own and which offers you the opportunity to explore past glories
and present triumphs? You’ll see Montalcino from the valley, resting along the crest of a high ridge. Winding upwards through the Tuscan hills, when at last you reach the gates of Montalcino, you’ll find yourself 564 metres above sea level with stupendous views over the surrounding valleys.
Earn an unforgettable experience by living here and opening your mind to the treasures inside these walls. Plan to come for at least a week, but try and come for two. You can spend time walking through the Tuscan hills, or bike riding through the vineyards to an ancient abbey, and can you be here on a Sunday when we go up to the football ground below the fortress to cheer our team to victory? At
certain times of year you can participate in village festivals and even a
competitive and challenging footrace around the walls. You'll need a
couple of hours to visit our museum which holds
paintings, sculptures and relics authenticating our history. You will not be isolated at Montalcino. You are just 40 klm south of Siena and you have comfortable access to the most glorious destinations in Tuscany, Umbria and Lazio in less than an hour!
PS:
Don’t fall into the trap of believing summer is the only season to visit
because I can promise you unbelievable beauty in spring, in autumn, and
even in winter Have you read my books about Montalcino? You can order a dedicated and signed copy direct from me here in Montalcino. Go to my special book site www.vanilla-beans-and-brodo.com or email me,
