Castello di Montalto

Property Description

The historic Castle of Montalto lies in one of the loveliest and most unspoiled parts of the Chianti area of Tuscany, not far from Siena. It is very centrally located for art touring, an excellent home base for sight-seeing, winery visits and exploring hill towns and back roads.
Ten comfortable and well served homes to choose from.

Part of the castle and the houses surrounding it are offered directly by the owner as self-catering vacation rental accommodations.

There are beautiful vistas over the farmed fields in the valley.
Silence and peace provide a restful environment, and a part-time concierge assists our guests. You will enjoy independence and privacy but not be isolated.
