Casa Montisi

The house is accessed from the ground floor, with a small laundry room available to guests and a service bathroom on the landing. The first floor comprises a room with a fireplace, a study area and a dining room, as well as a kitchen. From here, you can access the roof garden (about 400 m2). Also on the first floor is a bedroom with a private bathroom. 

The second floor is intended for sleeping, with four double bedrooms, all with private bathrooms. Additionally, there is a central, frescoed room where you can relax with a good book. 

There are five double rooms, located on two floors. Each room has a private bathroom and is fully equipped with a hairdryer, towels, and amenities.

Among the facilities included are a barbecue, an outdoor shower and Wi-Fi, as well as a hi-fi system, Netflix and Disney Plus. Finding a private garden of this size within the village of Montisi is not easy and it provides a quiet place where guests can eat and relax. 

On request, guests can have cooking lessons within the home or simply enjoy a dinner prepared by a local cook. We can also arrange for breakfast to be prepared each morning. Guided tastings of the area’s excellent wines are also possible, with Casa Montisi located within one of the most interesting and renowned oenological areas in Italy.

Alternatively, guests can visit a renowned local winery, participate in painting lessons or go looking for truffles with a guide (and then prepare them for dinner). It’s also possible to watch the sunset in the hills of Valdorcia (a UNESCO site) by Vespa, bike or on horseback. If desired, guests can take yoga classes at the property or have an Ayurvedic massage. 

The area is rich in historical and natural treasures, most of which can be reached within 30 minutes by car/vespa or a little longer by bike. 

For convenience, I have organised them into four "routes", which intersect and overlap one another. 

1. The historical-architectural route You can travel from the medieval village of San Giovanni d'Asso and the castles of Trequanda to Montalcino with its splendid panorama surrounded by vineyards and historic villas. This route takes in the Abbey of Sant’Antimo, Chiusure (on the Crete gullies) and the Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore, as well as San Quirico d'Orcia and its Italian gardens. 

Guests can visit the Collegiate Church and thermal water square of Bagno Vignoni, the "ideal city of the Renaissance”, Pienza (sought after by Pope Enea Silvio Piccolomini), and Montepulciano with its Duomo and Temple of San Biagio. 

The historic cities of Siena, Arezzo and Perugia can also be reached in less than an hour by car and Florence is just over an hour from the property.

2. The thermal route This route takes in the free pools of the "White Whale" in Bagni San Filippo (40 minutes) and Bagno Vignoni. The scenic drive to reach them is wonderful in any season. 

3. The naturalistic route Crete and Valdorcia are full of wonderful routes that can be done on foot or by bike, allowing you to immerse yourself in a natural world that is still wild at times.

4. The food and wine itinerary The area in which Montisi is located is rich in terms of wine, with Rosso and Brunello di Montalcino and Nobile di Montepulciano among the most renowned. Many of the local wines are ideally paired with Chianina meat (a characteristic breed of calves) or Cinta Senese pork, both of which feature in traditional dishes.
