Monteriggioni Guest Houses

#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.

Radda in Chianti

"il soggiorno è stato tutto sommato accettabile, la posizione un po' rumorosa (è in centro al paesino), l'intonaco del bagno non perfetto e mancava l'acqua calda (appena tiepida...). i letti molto comodi, la camera spaziosa. Non sono d'accordo che rientri nella categoria"bed & breakfast" dato che se si vuole fare colazione si paga una quota in più (ma questa è una caratteristica diffusa per i B&B in Italia a quanto pare...).Se vi capita di dover mangiare a Radda consigliamo vivamente il Podere Le...
