Other Things to Note
Our location within Montalcino is perfect for a visit to any of the local wineries to taste the famous Brunello di Montalcino wine. Enjoy some great Tuscan food and wine in the town's many restaurants. Walk through the charming medieval hilltop town and visit its many shops selling local products such as wine, meats, produce, honey and other artisan products. Be sure to try locally made ice cream from the gelaterias.
