Recreation Information

We have a generous swimming pool and good size grounds. Golf courses and tennis are available nearby. Montalcino lies in the province of Siena, about 42 kilometres south of the city. It represents a outer layer of the Senese soil before one reaches the woods of the Seamma and the steep ascents of Mount Amiata. It is important to mention its enological vocation. In fact, the local wines, both red and white, were already highly valued in the Middle Ages. Montalcino is the home of the Brunello which has been defined as the best and the most famous Italian wine. (THE WINE ROAD)
