LOCATION AND DISTANCE
The villa’s central location provides the opportunity to visit and come into close contact with this rich and varied area of Tuscany. It’s immersed in the countryside between Florence and Siena, so the main roads are well-connected to the villa and this permits easy day tours to both of these two cities as well as to Pisa, Lucca and Arezzo. From the terrace of the villa, you can admire the beautiful medieval castle walls that surround the village of Monteriggioni with its fourteen towers that stick out high into the air. A pleasant walking on the “Strade Bianche” (dirt back roads) that run among the olive groves of the villa, will allow you to enjoy the view of San Gimignano, with its thirteen medieval towers that overlook the valley and mark the skyline of the town. Walking straight on the path the way you can arrive to the impressive Fortress of Staggia. For those who want to go off exploring the main roads and find striking scenic views, a must is a visit of Volterra. A unique town which combines Etruscan, Roman and Medieval buildings in a single context. For bikers and hikers, close to the villa and to the natural park of the Montagnola, passes the ancient Via Francigena, along which you can visit the millenary Romanesque complex of Abbadia a Isola.
