Welcome to Castello di Montalto in Tuscany

At home in a castle...

Montalto is an historic medieval castle with apartments for rent in the beautiful Tuscan countryside near Siena, Italy.
Part of the castle and the carefully restored houses of the little hamlet surrounding it are available as self-catering accommodations for vacation rental, by the owners who live in the castle themselves.

The villas on this 700-acre estate in Tuscany enjoy a swimming pool, a tennis court, large wooded areas for pleasant walks and beautiful vistas over the farmed fields in the valley. Most have private gardens as well.

"Five years after our honeymoon stay at Montalto, coming here again certainly wasn't a disappointment. To us Montalto is magic. The tranquillity of the Tuscan countryside, the professional and yet very personal touch and approach, the culture... Well, others have said it and better, but it's clear that we'll be back... Montalto is easy to fall in love with and is again all too difficult to part with."
- P.C. and A.S. (Antwerp) from the guest album in San Martino
