Castle

The castle of Montalto in Tuscany is a medieval hamlet with over 1000 years of history, surrounded by woods and farmland in the lovely and unspoiled Chianti hills near Siena.
Ten carefully restored villas and apartments, including a wing of the inner castle, are offered directly by the owner as self-catering accommodations sharing the swimming pool.
With its private chapel and banquet room, the castle is a spectacular venue for weddings and events.
Montalto in Toscana - San Martino is a small 2-story tower over the main gate to the castle courtyard; it takes its name from the large fresco depicting Saint Martin sharing his cloak with a beggar. It is accessed from the upper courtyard (two short flights of stone steps).

Downstairs there is a cozy sitting room with beamed ceiling, fireplace and parquet floor; a mini-kitchenette in the back includes two burners, a sink and a small refrigerator.

Upstairs is a bedroom with high beamed ceiling, parquet floor and queen-size bed, as well as a small bathroom with stall shower.

San Martino’s outdoor area has a stone table and wrought iron chairs under the shade of a majestic linden tree. This little tower is full of character and perfect for romantic vacations or honeymoons.
