Montespertoli is a typical fortified village in the Chianti region: surrounded by its city walls, it stands atop a hill and commands the valley below. Once you cross the gates and you walk amidst its houses and buildings of medieval origin, you will be plunged back in time. Just about 25 kilometres from Florence a lodging in the Chianti region in Montespertoli or a villa immersed in the surrounding Tuscan countryside might be the ideal holiday accommodation for those who want to combine the peace and tranquillity typical of the Chianti hills with Florence culture and art.

However, you can find art and culture in Montespertoli as well: dating back to the Middle Ages, the most important buildings of the town command the main square; you can walk along in the historical centre and visit the wonderful 16th-century church of Sant`Andrea, whose bell tower soars aloft among the cypresses. Being equally distant from Pisa, San Gimignano and Volterra, Montespertoli is an excellent starting point for trips at the discovery of this enthralling corner of Tuscany.

Like in the whole Chianti region, in Montespertoli there is also much to taste, not only to admire. The surrounding hills are covered with vineyards: Montespertoli in fact, is renowned not only for its red wines, but for Vinsanto, the famous Tuscan dessert wine, as well. The accreditation of the "Chianti Montespertoli" area testifies the excellent quality of the wine produced in this part of Tuscany. You can but visit Montespertoli and taste a glass of it.
