Set within a medieval borgo, Villa Montevettolini is certainly one of our most unique Italian vacation properties. This remarkable villa has been meticulously refurbished keeping original building materials such as Florentine stone, red brick barrel-vaulted ceilings and terracotta floors intact. The deeply layered history of the milieu is intrinsically palpable as guests sense and breathe the essence of times gone by in the ancient yet comfortable environs! The wonderful characteristics of 15th century Italy have been perfectly combined with modern amenities and conveniences. Each room is individually decorated and each is sophisticated, comfortable, brightly lit and decorated to create a harmonious atmosphere.

Wine tours and wine tastings can be organized to familiarize you with the rich Tuscan wines such as Chianti and Brunello. A typical Tuscan lunch honoring the traditional flavors of the local cuisine can also be a part of a memorable journey through the vineyards. The superb extra virgin olive oil sampled in the magical atmosphere of a landscape dotted with olive trees and vineyards is an experience not to be missed.

This year the Medieval Feast in Montevettolini will be held on September 8th, 2007.
