Draped across a hill between the Val di Chiana and the Val d'Orcia, Montefollonico is a small medieval village that has survived almost entirely intact, blissfully removed from the main tourist trails. You enter through ancient gates set into the walls and lose yourself in silent stone alleyways, where time seems to have stood still.
It is a place for those in search of the genuine: family-run trattorias, views over the rolling hills, the scent of freshly baked bread and Vin Santo — the venerable amber dessert wine for which this village is a celebrated guardian.
A brief but precious stop, perfect for a sunset stroll or an unhurried dinner.
Just a few minutes from Montepulciano, Pienza and the most beautiful villages of the Val di Chiana. Book your stay and set out to explore.
