One of Italy's national monuments Montefienali emerged in the middle of the 13th Century as a remote staging post on an ancient Roman road into the Chianti.

Montefienali high point is the perfect place for its twin swimming pools. There is a 15 mtrs x 7.5 mtrs pool and a small children’s swimming pool 1 mtr deep - pools are open from April to October. Sun beds and umbrellas furnish the surrounding garden and terraces to provide a great place for basking in the sun while taking in the stunning vista of the hamlet and hilltop villages beyond.

A selection of accommodation of individual cottages in an isolated location with terracotta floors, beamed ceilings and traditional-style furniture, creating an appealingly traditional ambience that offers a private terrace/garden to enjoy the Tuscan hills while sun bathing or dining outdoors.
Every Sunday during July and August there is music and dancing at Monteluco, which is 4km away from Montefienali.

Unsere Zeit in Montefienali verging leider wie im Fluge. Das Haus ist einfach traumhaft schön. Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet und lässt, für ein Urlaubsdomizil, keine Wünsche offen. Die Schlafzimmer sind ausreichend groß und wir hatten auch keine Probleme unsere sieben Sachen zu verstauen.
Trotz unserem verspäteten Eintreffen war unsere Betreuerin sehr herzlich, der Umgang war unkompliziert und sehr freundlich.
Bei der Anfahrt sollte man unbedingt berücksichtigen, dass die letzten Kilometer der Strecke mehr Zeit in Anspruch nehmen, als üblich. Die Straße ist sehr schmal und steil, trotzdem ist sie gut zu befahren.
Der Pool ist sehr gepflegt.
Wir hatten das große Glück, die Anlage fast für uns alleine zu haben. So konnten wir die traumhafte Ruhe sehr genießen. Wir können das Haus und die Anlage nur empfehlen und sind sicher nicht das letzte Mal dort gewesen!
