Tips for Your Stay in Montalcino
Montalcino is a territory rich in small and large accommodation facilities both outside and within the historic center: farm stays, hotels, hostels, bed and breakfasts, vacation homes, and apartments located in luxurious villas and castles. Here are some suggestions to help you choose your accommodation.
Staying in the Montalcino Countryside:
The Montalcino countryside is unique in the world, and each season gives it a new appearance and its own charm, making it an ideal backdrop for a vacation in any season. Castles, 16th-century villas, and numerous farm stays that dominate the hills, mostly cultivated with vineyards, are the best starting point for a unique experience in the area, amidst marvelous landscapes and good food.
Staying in Montalcino Village:
For those who can't do without the rhythms and life of a village, the town offers numerous bed and breakfasts and some extremely well-finished and welcoming hotels. Autumn is perhaps the best time to explore and stay in the historic center, also to enjoy various events that take place here: It begins with the traditional Honey Festival in the first week of September, continues with the folkloric Camigliano Rooster Festival, and concludes with the Thrush Festival on the last Sunday of October. The winter season, more intimate and cozy, makes way for the Welcome Brunello event, during which the new vintage of Brunello di Montalcino is presented every year.
