The Abbey of Sant'Antimo, built by Charlemagne, is a silent portal to bygone eras. It stands majestically among the rolling hills of the Val d'Orcia, offering a peaceful refuge to travellers. It is a masterpiece of medieval architecture from the 12th century, and it is also possible to stay overnight in the monastic guesthouse of Castelnuovo dell'Abate.

Historic town of Montalcino

Highlight • Settlement

Montalcino, a medieval village in the province of Siena, is a place that invites you to immerse yourself in a slow tourism experience. Its trails, such as the Brunello Crossing and the Granfondo del Brunello, offer the opportunity to explore the region both on foot and on two wheels. The well-preserved historic center of Montalcino can be explored on foot without difficulty. As you approach Montalcino, don't miss its fortress, one of the main attractions of the Val d'Orcia.
