Yes, Monteriggioni just might be the quintessential walled medieval village in Tuscany. It's small enough to perhaps be called "cute" but you won't catch me using this term.

Monteriggioni began as a border fortress built on a round hill by Sienna against the Florentines. It is famous for the intact defensive structure that held up against repeated Florentine attacks in the 11th century; its 10 meter high walls and 14 towers can still be seen for miles around. Monteriggioni has been featured in movies as a typical medieval village.

The village is slightly elliptical in shape with two gates (a third has been plugged). The major gate tourists will use when coming from the parking lot, Porta Franca, owes its name to the Via Francigena--Monteriggione was a major stop on the pilgrimage trail from Cantebury to Rome. The Romanesque Church of Santa Maria Assunta will offer assistance with housing for modern pilgrims traveling the Francigena pilgrimage route.

Monteriggioni was a sleepy village of farmers and sheep herders as late as the 1960's. Today it exists entirely for tourists and pilgrims. You'll find wine shops, a tasting room, restaurants and hotels in the small village. This is not neccessarily a disadvantage, although some times it's nice to see some locals puttering about once in a while.

Where is Monteriggioni?

Monteriggioni is located in the province of Siena, 14km to the northwest of Siena (54km from Florence). While it can be done as a day trip from Siena, you might be better off staying the night--Monteriggioni is much more evocative when the tourists leave late in the afternoon and you can sit in a courtyard sipping a glass of Chianti. Monteriggioni is surrounded by vineyards, and is known for its wine production.

3/5 Okay

"Being a VRBO property owner, I am sensitive about good ratings. However, I am not happy to be giving a 3-star review on a property that had received so many positive reviews; I had very high expectations and chose this property based on the many positive reviews. First, I will begin with positive comments: (1) central location to the many walled towns in Tuscany-one of the main reasons we chose this property; (2) the villa is attractive, clean, and mostly authentic; (3) the pool & grounds are nice; (4) the kitchen was adequately equipped; (5) linens and towels were fine. Second, comments about wasn't so good: (1) the adjacent factory activity can be heard at times; (2) the coffee maker uses pods that are not available at a grocery store, but Gianni said he would supply them for a cost of 5 Euros for 10; (3) the property gate requires getting out of your car to punch in the code-very inconvenient especially if bad weather. At 7:00 am when we were leaving the property for the airport, the gate to the driveway would not open for us to be able to leave and fortunately we had a phone number for Gianni's parents who did not speak English but we were able to communicate the problem with the gate and they came to property to manually open the gate. This delayed us by 30 minutes & more importantly, if Gianni's parents were not available to open the gate, we could have missed our flight because there was no way to drive off the property. Hence, the main reason for the 3-star rating! "
