About this house rental
Once inside, you’ll be immersed in an atmosphere of times gone by, and the hustle and bustle of everyday life will seem far away.
On the first floor, you’ll find an entry hall, the living room, the kitchen, and the dining room with a historic fireplace—and the highlight: a garden with a panoramic view where you can enjoy moments of peace, sip a glass of wine, read a book, or simply relax.
On the first floor is the reading room, which serves as the entrance to the two guest rooms and two suites, all tastefully furnished in keeping with tradition.
All rooms have private bathrooms and are equipped with Wi-Fi.
Montopoli in Val d’Arno is one of those typical little villages where, in the warmer months, you can find elderly locals chatting in the middle of the street until late.
It’s a place where, in the morning, you take a stroll past the small shops and greet everyone.
A place where life is peaceful—and I think this is one of the first things you’ll notice and that will capture your heart.
To keep you company, there’s a café at the entrance to the village—perfect for enjoying a cornetto and an espresso while getting to know the locals.
Three high-quality restaurants, including Quattro Gigli, just a 300-meter walk away,
In Piazza Michele da Montopoli, near the Castruccio Castracani Arch, it offers refined Tuscan cuisine in a unique setting; in the summer, it features a beautiful veranda from which to admire the view—on clear days, you can see the Pisan Mountains and even the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Across from the Parish Church of Saints John the Evangelist and Stephen, on Via Sant’Andrea, is the alleyway leading to the restaurant L’Eremita, where you’ll also find traditional Tuscan cuisine in an intimate and well-kept setting.
For lovers of meat and Florentine steak, we’ll stop at one of the town’s and region’s finest establishments, the Marianelli charcuterie. In the shop, you’ll find a wide selection of cured meats prepared using traditional recipes and recognized by Slow Food, and in the evening, you can enjoy their meat-based dishes at their Osteria del Norcino, located across from the shop.
In addition, the town has two banks, two bakeries, a barber and a hair salon, florists, and the Palazzo Guicciardini Civic Museum, which houses numerous terracotta objects—a historic local craft.
Everything you need to make the most of a peaceful stay.
For those seeking quality local products, just a short walk away is the Colangelo farm, which produces organic honey, and also within the town limits is the Varramista estate—ideal for long walks, as well as for a tour and wine testing.
The town is known for a beautiful medieval festival held every year on the second Sunday of September; for one day, the streets and alleys of the town are transported back to a bygone era, with flag-waving performances and themed street stalls.
Just a few minutes’ drive away lies the town of San Miniato, famous for its white truffles, which are celebrated every November.
The town is rich in history and offers a variety of dining options, ranging from traditional local cuisine to gourmet and even vegetarian fare.
For wine lovers, the Pisan hills are home to many high-quality wineries,
such as Usiglian del Vescovo in Palaia; in Terricciola, Podere la Chiesa, Fattoria Fibbiano, and La Spinetta dei Rivetti; Castelvecchio, Podernovo owned by the Lunelli family, Badia di Morrona owned by the Gaslini Alberti family, and Tenuta di Ghizzano owned by the Venerosi Pesciolini family.
Also for food and wine enthusiasts, other highlights include the Martelli artisan pasta factory in the village of Lari, Floriddia in Peccioli, a mill that processes heirloom grains and legumes; Amedei, a historic producer of world-famous chocolate; and the Morelli liqueur distillery in Forcoli, which produces limoncello and grappa of exceptional quality.
Other treasures of our region can be found in Pontedera, the town that gave birth to the iconic Vespa scooter, with limited-edition models on display at the Piaggio Museum alongside other brands such as Aprilia, Gilera, and Moto Guzzi
